Meghan McCain Marries Conservative Pundit Accused of Plagiarism

People broke the news that the conservative The View co-host got hitched at the McCain family ranch in Sedona just before sunset on Tuesday. McCain's father, Senator John McCain, gave the bride away, according to the report.

Domenech, now 35, worked for three days as a conservative blogger for the Washington Post over 10 years ago. He quit before he could be fired after allegations of instances in which it appeared he'd lifted original passages of text from other authors, the Washington Post reported at the time.

One notable instance of this included a passage in the New York Press that looked to be copied from the Washington Post itself, the New York Times points out.

my guess is that this was a rushed wedding so he could give away the bride.

Not good news.
