HilariousInHindsight: During his speech in response to [[spoiler: the bombing of the swim meet,]] Bartlet inspires the nation with "but every time we think we have measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we're reminded that that capacity may well be limitless." Then, at a conference in October 2017, British Prime Minister UsefulNotes/TheresaMay included the following in a speech: "It is when tested the most that we reach deep within ourselves and find that our capacity to rise to the challenge before us may well be limitless." What's funny is: in the very same episode that was plagiarized, Aaron Sorkin implicitly ''gave her permission to plagiarize it'' with Sam's line:
-->'''Sam:''' Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.
