Just before a plagiarizer wearing explosives blew himself up

Wednesday at a checkpoint in the city of Baqouba that was

manned by Sunni Muslims allied with U.S. forces, he was

heard to say, "I regret that I have but one life to give

for my country."

In a botched attempt to plagiarize a former Vice President,

Karl Rove yesterday described President Bush's critics as

"elite, effete snobs." What Spiro Agnew actually said was

"an effete corps of impudent snobs."
