[edit] Plagiarism

On May 6, 2006, NBC Sports aired a special program before the Kentucky Derby that plagiarized two passages from "20 Hours in America Part II", specifically "everytime we think we've measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we are reminded that that capacity may well be limitless" Ironically, the feature followed a commercial for the last two episodes of The West Wing, which were aired by NBC. The freelance writer responsible for the content was fired.^[1] In the episode Sam Seaborn says, "Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright."
