This is one of those "Wow" functions of BibDesk, that has people  
rushing off to download it.

You don't even have to put anything on the Clipboard. Just shade the  
bibtex in the browser window,
Go to Services/BibDesk/Add to Bibliography, and it imports.
That way you can cut out the problematic comments.

Sometimes BibDesk will choke on importing, if the citekey contains  
strange characters.
My solution is to go to Services/TextEdit/New Window with Selection,  
edit the citekey,
and then repeat the BibDesk Service import.  (Then I use command-K to  
rebuild the citekey
the way I want it.)
