Palin accused of lifting article

ANCHORAGE, Alaska: Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been accused of paraphrasing at length from an article co-written by Newt Gingrich when she gave a speech, but her lawyer says proper credit was provided.

Blogger Geoffrey Dunn, who is writing a book about the former vice presidential candidate, made the accusation.

Dunn compared Palin's speech Wednesday introducing conservative talk show host Michael Reagan, son of former President Ronald Reagan, to the article urging Republicans to study Reagan, written by Gingrich and Craig Shirley in 2005.
