Sen. John McCain's campaign is denying our suggestion yesterday "that the
candidate's lengthy response yesterday to the crisis in Georgia
was lifted in part from Wikipedia," according to Politico.
However, campaign aides "wouldn't say outright that it wasn't consulted."
Instead, they explained "that there are only so many ways to state basic historical
facts and dates and that any similarities to Wikipedia were only
coincidental."
Nonetheless, at least two political science professors have weighed in saying the similarities are more than coincidental and wouldn't be tolerated from their own students.

McCain appears to have plagiarized again, by using his "cross in the sand". stroy. He is making so many gaffes and misstatements that we have to pay much closer attention. And the last thing we need to do is for him to antagnoize ussia.
