Imitation is the Sweetest form of flattery.

No blogger has over-relied on the work of your Chicago Sun-Times' D.C. columnist, Lynn Sweet, more than "So-Called 'Austin Mayor'".

Well, if you count Sweet-inspired belly-aching, Tom Roeser might come close.

But when I loot her reportage, I do my best to give credit to her and her S-T home.

But I guess they do things a little differently at the Moonie-owned Washington Times.

UPDATE: Ms. Sweet comments on the "quote heist" at her S-T blog.
