Did the ‘Weekly Standard’ plagiarize me?

Yesterday morning at 11,  in a clairvoyant post titled, "Freeman is a lock to keep his appointment," I noted, "Chas Freeman has never suffered fools–he recently described George W. Bush as 'leading the world's first genuinely-autistic government'".
That link was to a statement Freeman made nearly 2 months ago, that has been on-line 2 months. I've been working on a Freeman piece, and I've been doing a lot of slogging through old documents. I'm a bookish person, and proud of it.
Two hours after my post went up, Michael Goldfarb at the Weekly Standard did a whole post on Freeman's statement, "Freeman on America's 'Genuinely Autistic Government." No reference to my post, or this site.
I'm sure he read about it on this site. Or his tipster read it here.
I like assiduous readers. Whenever I use stuff someone else has turned up, I give them credit, or link them, even if I disagree with them.
