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.)
