Rand Paul's Office Not Commenting on Plagiarism Allegations

Senator's summary of Gattaca in a speech mirrored the Wikipedia summary

 U.S. Sen. Rand Paul's office remained mum Tuesday after allegations that he plagiarized part of speeches he gave Monday at Liberty University in Virginia and earlier this year at a conference in Washington, D.C.

The plagiarism allegations first broke Monday night when MSNBC television show host Rachel Maddow accused Paul of stealing four lines of his speech to students at Liberty University from a Wikipedia entry about the movie "Gattaca," which Paul used as a cautionary tale about advancements in science.
