"UPDATE: It appears that Ziemer’s speech may have been plagiarized from McCain. According to the McCain campaign, the senator used these lines before Ziemer — in 1995. We regret the error."
Think Progress has issues :/

I knew something was up with this speechthe way the commentators were repeating it verbatim before showing him saying the exact same thing.
So McCain is Bidenesque and a Keating 5 bamboozler.

There might still be a story here: On what topic(s) might it be that McCain's thinking was so mature and complete in 1995 that there's been no opportunity for improvement or evolution?

Well no matter who said it first, McCain and Ziemer are on the Shared Talk Express.

Maybe we can get rid of this post by recommending FlyOnTneWall's far better in depth analysis, which I think is much more deserving.
I was embarassed to see the article updated a mere 20 minutes after I posted it. Doh!
