I think it was when the phrase left logic, a small part of mathematics, 
where it denoted that which bring proves a proposition by assuming it, 
and became something that would constantly flow out of the mouths of 
talking heads on tv, where it's taken to mean that which motivates 
another question which then oozes out of their mouths, so the usage is 
entirely different.

Current usage: "...which begs the question, does casey anthony support 
Obama?"

Old usage:  "That begs the question."  [Period.]  (Long awkward silence 
as all parties absorb that somebody's method is called out.)
