I'm Busted For Plagiarism

I plagiarized a large portion of one sentence in my introduction to my Jewish journalism book (and I've used a variation of this sentence in my blogging as well).

I wrote: "Most American Jewish newspapers (the Forward is the big exception) suck. They're controlled by the Jewish Federation and their idea of reporting is reprinting press releases. I'd rather be sodomized by ten of the surliest inmates of the California Penal System than praise such crap."

I plagiarized that line about being sodomized by surly inmates in the California Penal System from sentences Mike Albo wrote in various issues of Hustler Erotic Video Guide. I'm sorry.

Mike brought this to my attention this afternoon. He added: "May your wish come true."
