Look at the object element.
Have you tried the WordPress Bookmarklet? Login, click “My Profile”, and drag the bookmarklet link to your browser’s toolbar. Then when you want to blog about a site/article, just select the text you’d like to quote and click the link from your toolbar.

couldn’t follow how to use the <object> tag for this, but the bookmarklet suggestion seems workable.
If this article on the webpage is from a blog with a newsfeed (RSS, RDF etc) you could use a newsreader and post directly from there. Look at http://wordpress.org/support/index.php?action=vthread&forum=4&topic=883&page=0
<object data=”http://wordpress.org/” type=”text/html” width=”90%” height=”50%”>
</object>

what flickerfly means to say is: What you are talking about doing is practically always illegal … you’re better off linking to the other website. 😛
