In a post just published at the post.blog, Jim Brady, WashingtonPost.com’s Executive Editor, announced that Ben Domenech, who on Tuesday launched a conservative blog on the site, has resigned his position. His resignation comes on the heels of multiple accusations of plagiarism.

Since his debut earlier this week, both Domenech and the Post had come under fire for the content of the blog and the qualifications of its author. But as the week went on, bloggers across the web managed to unearth several examples of plagiarism in Domenech’s past work. Howard Kurtz wrote this morning on Domenech; here’s a Wonkette post with lots of links, and you can click here for our earlier coverage.
