The problem with quoting text that has a [sic] is a fun one.

I researched this last time the topic came up on HN. Based on some investigation in Google Books, what books actually do when quoting text containing [sic] is use a footnote: "blah blah [sic] blah"¹

¹[sic] in original.

(And keep in mind that [sic] is not shorthand for "ha ha you're stupid" even though that's how it usually gets used on the Internet.)

Just attach another "[sic]" and you are good.
