Maybe somebody deliberately inserted the phrases and then leaked it to the media? The reaction was just too quick. Whatever the case, what she said her mother told her was pretty much what my parents told me, what many good parents tell their children. It’s common advice.

I can see people picking up on the rickrolling right away (and they did on twitter) but not the Michelle plagerism. Maybe someone in the RNC leaked the speech to the media and they picked it apart and were just waiting.

Politico, MSNBC, and other such outlets were ready to go with this attack this morning. Someone gave somebody a heads-up.

Could be Romney's people trying to Palinize Melania but it probably was planned days in advance.

As I said, there was a guy named Jarrett Hill who discovered this. He is clearly a Democrat who was live tweeting the convention. He says he's a journalist and interior designer. I went and looked at his Twitter page. He was writing negative tweets about the Republican convention last night. Presumably during Melania's speech, he tweeted:

"OMG. Melania. That was literally a whole line from Michelle Obama 2012. “…their willingness to work hard for them.”” #GOPConvention

Then he corrects the year, proceeds to Google the speech, and finds out that it was two paragraphs from the 2008 convention speech. How in the world would you, listening to a speech, recognize a line and attribute it to a political speech 8 years ago? That was a generic line and not memorable at all.

Suddenly, he tweets this out and the MSM pick up on it. I guess we can presume it was probably sent in to the MSM by giddy liberals.

Last night, he had a website listed. He was listed as a journalist and designer. His website took you to his design website. Today, that link is gone, and you are instead directed to the Huffington Post.

He has only written two columns there this year.
