Dem's staff 'cleans up' Wikipedia entry.

I hate Wikipedia. It's just a bad idea all around. How can any "encyclopedia" be reliable if anyone can change the entries at will? Talk about being ripe for manipulation. And now we're seeing one of the ways that self-serving politicians can exploit it.

Congressional staffers of Democrat Representative Marty Meehan wrote their own bio of Meehan and replaced the previous Wikipedia entry, including any references to unpleasant facts such as Meehan's broken promise of only four terms and his massive campaign "war chest."

What's worse, there have been a thousand such revisions by congressional staffers over the past six months. And not all have been so...congenial. There's nothing like looking in an "encyclopedia" and reading that you "smell of cow dung"! Whoever these jokers are, and they appear to be staffers for Democrats, they're just hurting their own cause. When you're trying to dethrone the King of Lies, it's pretty stupid to put such a crown on your own party's head.
