Default McCain plagirizing from Wikipedia?

If McCain is taking lines for his speeches from Wikipedia, he has zero foreign policy credentials he can run on.

Unlikely. McCain doesn't know how to use a computer.

lol! There are some amusing blog posts to the issue listed below:

One of them notes that McCain finally learned how to use the computer.

Is McCain supposed to read out the bibliography of every speech?

"Zero economic knowledge"
"Zero foreign policy credentials"

Cali's very insistent that McCain has "zero" everything, probably because that describes his own candidate. I believe that's called projection.

I am just repeating what McCain has said about his economic understanding. Do you have some basis for belief that he does understand economics, even though he claims he doesn't?

With foreign policy, McCain hasn't said he doesn't understand foreign policy, but the sum of his comments certainly require that conclusion.

You don't repeat. You distort.

Hm, if Tex distorts everything, and Tex says I distort, does that mean I don't distort? I should consult Wikipedia. I know that whatever Wikipedia says is what Tex will respond with.
