Just when you thought the GOP Governor’s cluster-you-know-what couldn’t get weirder, it looks like ANOTHER example of Scooter plagiarism is coming to light.

Another plagiarism case? McInnis campaign says no

DENVER – Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis –already hit with one plagiarism scandal– is responding to a new potential copy-and-paste case.

The latest case stems from a 2003 op-ed piece McInnis wrote and includes passages that appear to have been copied from a newsletter published a month earlier.

In 2003, when then-congressman McInnis was sponsoring a major bill to protect American forests, he wrote an op-ed piece that appeared in the Denver Post. In at least three places, paragraphs are almost identical to parts of a newsletter put out just a month before by a group called the American Land Rights Organization.

Once a plagiarist, always a plagiarist? Yikes.
