McCain Copies from Wikipedia

It looks like John McCain's internet lessons are paying off. He's found a never-ending source of information at Wikipedia, simply a matter of cut and paste. At least that's what it looks like, with some great examples at that link from the Wikipedia entry on Georgia and what are supposedly John McCain's own thoughts.

You know who I'm talking about when I say John McCain, right? In case you don't, I have some original research, written in my own words that will introduce him:

John Sidney McCain III (born August 29, 1936) is the senior United States Senator from Arizona and presumptive Republican Party nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election.

McCain graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958 and became a naval aviator, flying ground-attack aircraft from aircraft carriers. During the Vietnam War, he nearly lost his life in the 1967 USS Forrestal fire. Later that year while on a bombing mission over North Vietnam, he was shot down, badly injured, and captured as a prisoner of war by the North Vietnamese. He was held from 1967 to 1973, experiencing episodes of torture and refusing an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer; his war wounds would leave him with lifelong physical limitations.
I'm a pretty good writer, aren't I?
