The first sentence is also a sentence fragment and the period should be placed before the ending quotation marks.

Does the period in quotation mark rule applies to quotes? I don't think it does, but this stuff always confuses me.

It actually might be correct they way they did it since they were quoting a word rather than a complete sentence. It is indeed confusing. I figured if I were wrong, someone might correct me and I'd learn something.
