A Wikipedia editor emailed Political Wire to point out some
similarities between Sen. John McCain's speech today on the crisis in
Georgia and the Wikipedia article on the country Georgia. Given the
closeness of the words and sentence structure, most would consider
parts of McCain's speech to be derived directly from Wikipedia.
First instance:
one of the first countries in the world to adopt Christianity as
an official religion (Wikipedia)
vs.
one of the world's first nations to adopt Christianity as an
official religion (McCain)
....there's more > >

Kind of looks like it. Though in all fairness to McCain, he wouldn't
know Wikipedia from the Google. Still, at some point McCain has to be
held responsible for a campaign that he no longer seems to be in
charge of.

well, HE might not know Wikipedia from Google, but you can be sure he
has someone on staff that does.

Yup. He's actually paying an adult wage to some guy who's
cut'n'pasting from Wikipedia.
That or Cindy writes his speeches.
