"Red America" blogger resigns over plagarism charges

Recently, the Washington Post hired Ben Domenech, from the conservative blog RedState.org, to write a blog for newspaper's website. After three days, Domenech resigned from his position as the author of the Post's "Red America" blog, when numerous examples of undeniable plagarism surfaced. Even Michelle Malkin - the ultra-conservative Asian-American blogger who supports the internment of Asian-Americans during World War II - admits that Domenech is a plagarist.

The Domenech debacle is just the latest example of a high-profile conservative getting caught doing something completely unethcial. And yet, most of the conservative people I know aren't compulsive liars - they're normal, decent people. What I want to know is when conservatives will say that enough is enough, and start reshaping their movement in the mold of Lindsey Graham - a conservative who cares about honesty and the rule of law - instead of the mold of Richard Nixon and Dick Cheney.
