Not sure about your facts? Crib your notes from Wikipedia!
 
CQ Politics has an interesting entry about McCain's speech about Georgia, the portions of which sound suspiciously like they were lifted right out of Wikipedia. Apparently this was pointed out by a Wikipedia editor (I don't know who; technically anyone can edit Wikipedia articles so perhaps it's an actual staff person of sorts).

As they point out, it's OK to use Wikipedia as a source, but you're supposed to credit it.

I have a theory. I think the same person who helped McCain write his speech is the same one who helped post wife Cindy's "family favorites" recipes! [Must have sympathy for poor Cindy though; she probably hasn't ever set foot in the kitchen since I'm sure she just gets The Help to cook for her.]

Hey, perhaps they're both really young and hip, and have no problems with file sharing!
