This is a great catch by bloggy. Different ways that a quote becomes manifest between a) the blog version of the paper and b) the print version. Is it a matter of space, or something deeper and more editorial.
When it comes to the New York Times, apparently the people writing for the main paper view themselves as filters that shield us little people from too much detail. Compare and contrast the coverage of Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison's endorsement of Barack Obama in the their politics blog "The Caucus":

I originally said this in bloggy's comment box, but I'll re-iterate it here again:
It may also have to do with the fact that there's a limit of physical space on the paper edition. In fact, the blog version is almost twice as long! That's what you get for quoting what Ms. Morrison said in its entirety ;).
