UPDATE: Don Knox reports that McInnis won’t be returning to his job at Hogan Lovells (formerly Hogan and Hartson), which had been expected by folks familiar with his position there. So…he’s…honestly, we don’t think “available” is the right description.

We’ll bet money you can’t hold a straight face through this AP report–as you know, the director of Western Slope civic engagement organization Club 20, Reeves Brown, was selected by Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper to head the state Department of Local Affairs.
And so Club 20 has a job opening. Guess who wants to fill it?
Club 20 Chairman Jeff Comstock tells the Daily Sentinel newspaper in Grand Junction that he expects the executive director position to be posted later this week.Former congressman Scott McInnis of Grand Junction says he would be willing to fill the post on an interim basis. McInnis lost the Republican gubernatorial primary to Dan Maes in November…
That’s right, folks, scandalized ex-gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis is “willing” to head the Western Slope’s principal representative group of business and local governments. McInnis said a few weeks ago that he had a plan to “clear his name” at some unspecified point in the future, after revelations of plagiarism in work he did for a local foundation derailed his bid for governor.
We would suggest he, uh, do so before he even thinks about a job like this, let alone publicly float his name. Failing that, McInnis has simply given the world a punchline for yet another joke.
I think even Scooter probably forgot about that one. He said it would be in the coming weeks about 2 months ago.

Innocence!
someone else to write it first.
his reputation? Club 20′s been around since 1953 – I hope the Club 20 Board doesn’t think hiring McInnis as an interim ED would be a good idea. . . .
1. Given my overall distaste for Club 20, I can’t think of anyone better suited to head it up, embarrass it, and then run it into the ground, than McInnis. Sounds good to me.
2. Dan Maes would probably also would be “willing”, and would also be a good fit for the task. Anyone know, does the position pay mileage?
You might want to ask Sen. Steve King how that works. He is good at it.
“Would you like to try some cheesy bread with someone else’s research project this evening?”
McInnis set his sights on something more appropriate as he plots his political comeback, like Executive Director of the Colorado Elk Hunter’s Assn.
Or perhaps clerking in a district water court.
is far too concerned with success to hire that dude
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is a terrific outfit that I am happy to support
I think he would be a negative to any business or non profit.
for a few more hands pirating movies and software . . .
knockoffs of luxury watches and designer handbags is booming business too . . .
and, if he grows that moustache back, there’s always porn.
that would fit his skill set. To get employed again, I think he will eventually have to look there.
Bernie Buescher would be a much better choice.
my laptop has`a tendency to do this – must be infected with a McInnis type self replicating virus.
