I have given my consent to Mr. Zakaria to cite me
Oh hell, game over loosers.
Ahaha, except, you know, the fact that Zakaria didn’t actually cite him.

And the thing is, it’s mostly straight-up lazy writing. He’s not plagiarizing someone else’s analysis, he’s quoting someone who is quoting someone else, without bothering to reword paragraphs. You can hardly cite someone in that case, because you’re not citing something that they came up with themselves; you’re just directly lifting their recitation of quotes and such, including the wording around them. Basically writing a column around the core of facts and quotes found in another person’s material. Some of the stuff from yesterday I was more willing to give him a pass on (there’s only so many ways to quote numbers from a poll), but this is just stupidity on his part.

Did Zakariah cite Gerges or did he take his work without attribution?
Rand Paul said Zakaria can use his new definition of “plagiarism” if he wants to.
Unfortunately nobody went for it.
Remember that 15 minutes when @blippoblappo and @crushingbort were relevant?
No, me neither.
