think of how much worse it could have been for mccain. he can't use a computer, so what if he searched wikipedia wrong and started out his speech, "I have a high regard for the land of the peaches, and consider myself a bulldog."
The media jumped all over Obama when Governor Deval Patrick suggested that Obama use text from a speech he (Patrick) had previously made. It was hardly plagiarism, since Patrick actually suggested that Obama use portions of his speech.
So I'm wondering if the same benefit of doubt should go to McCain?
Obamas has used many other speechs to form his own in the past. this is a non story.
it's not a man, it's a robot. plus, he's not just on my shoulder, everyone has them. a robot on each shoulder telling them what to do, and what not to do. you don't have them?
Is it? Senator Obama had permission from the Author ahead of time and Duval laughed about the inference. What is Senator McCain's defense. Plagiarism is a serious charge. Deferring to Senator Obama is a terrible means for the Senator and/or his supporters to defend the seriousness of the accusation, considering the push for responsibility from Senator Obama.

I'm sorry, can't say that I do. Bugs Bunny had a heck of a time with those guys too....
all politicians copy speeches. we, as a nation, are running out of original sentences. just think about how much the sentence "I'm going to bed" is uttered in our society!

Who said it was a Great Speech?! The issue is he didn't write it nor credit the author and allowed the presumption of originality, until caught.
