Rand Paul Plagiarizes Wikipedia In Virginia Stump Speech For Ken Cuccinelli

Mediaite reports:

Sometimes political candidates screw up on the campaign trail. They might make a gaffe or two during a speech, but it’s the rare politician indeed who plagiarizes off of WIkpedia. And that’s exactly what Rachel Maddow caught Senator Rand Paul doing at a speech in Virginia, in which he lifted parts of the Wikipedia entry on… the movie Gattaca. Maddow found this to be obviously strange, especially coming from someone “trying to be a candidate for president, which Rand Paul’s trying to do, and thinking that you’re going to get away from lifting your speeches from Wikipedia while you’re doing that.”

Some of the Tea People are claiming that the Wikipedia page was edited to match Paul's speech.
