We commented previously on the unfortunate theme of plagiarism-tainted GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis’ newest TV spot, where McInnis proudly holds up a pen and declares it to be the one he’ll use to veto stuff with. Predictably, the jokes about whether or not that’s the pen he used to defraud a Colorado Supreme Court justice were not far behind.
Well apparently, McInnis isn’t even honest about the hand he uses to write with? What gives?
The image on the left is from a forum last fall filmed by the People’s Press Collective. On the right, McInnis is holding the pen he says he’ll use to veto legislation in his latest ad. In the left image, McInnis is writing with his right hand, but in his TV spot he’s holding the pen with his left hand.
At the risk of offending any southpaws in the community, a poll follows.

is that a picture of Scott McInnis makes me sigh with relief because it’s not related to that US Senate Primary stuff.
Really – you D’s are trying so damn hard to get rid of Scott in the primary you must be terribly afraid he’ll give you a run for your money against the Hick from Denver.
More like ColPols just can’t resist a gotcha. A little (OK a lot) sophomoric? Yes. A sign of Dem desperation in this particular race? You wish.
This is silly.
We should be talking about this instead:

Come on. Any excuse to try and sink the only Republican that can beat your beloved Hickenlooper in the General. This is just in poor taste. If you had something new or intelligent to contribute then it would be different but this is just poor.
I am right handed but use my left hand rather often, you know?
Not everything in politics has to be so damned s-e-r-i-o-u-s.
And I agree with Jack B. above: nice to get everyone’s minds off the Senate thread, if only momentarily – and back to the comical trainwreck that is Scott McInnis! 🙂
It would be funnier if he was, you know, writing with his left hand in that ad. Just holding it? This is a case of it breaking rather than bending.
After August 11th, every post won’t have to meet the gravitas test. We look forward to that.
I just think you didn’t do a good job. But that’s just my opinion – others are amused.
after the Primary, the gravitas (and invective) will probably flow just as melodramatically for several days – at least on the Dem side, which seems to be the majority of your enflamed readership.
As the losers rant, while the winners are unable to be stop crowing and be gracious about it.
Hope I’m wrong about that but guess we’ll know in a week eh?
Allowing for a day of that. Here’s hoping, agreed.
This whole primary season has been a hoot!
with the Republican party today. They can’t take a joke. Are you kidding me? Another in a long list of reasons why I left the party. To them everything is a “federal case” and nothing is funny. They have no fun. This post is hilarious, get over it Republicans.
at the blood letting in your US Senate primary?
I don’t think so.
I haven’t had to ask Cheryl “What the hell am I going to write about tonight?” for several days.
Too silly to be very amusing. Besides, with McInnis this kind of stretch is so superfluous.
at Shyne’s suggestion.
but his hair line is receding in all the right places.
All directors are commies.
This a subliminal message.
Apparently Michael Bennet isn’t honest about time because he can clearly be seen here wearing a watch. This is very important because it reads 4:35 and blah blah blah honesty and something something time.
the rush to kick in…
Unless of course it is some serious creeper.
Since it actually says 4:32 it’s VERY FUNNY HA-HA! If it had really said 4:35 it would have been VERY SERIOUS!
wtf?
anyone else think this thread is about done?
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009. Election day of last year.
Hardly an ivory tower watch.
A watch for the rest of us.
Who knows that what it says is right?
the photo is seven years old.
Hey, even a stopped digital watch is right once a century!
Just sayin’. I am.
I’m right-handed but always rein with my left. You?
Left handed and usually write with my left hand (can write with the right, but not in cursive) but the right hand feels more natural for most things in the sporting/athletic category. I usually ride in a snaffle bit with two hands, but I rein with the right if I’m using a curb. I throw with my right hand but bat left-handed, and I can play ping-pong either way.
There are a lot of lefties in my family and I’ve noticed most of us are at least somewhat ambidextrous, as are some of the right-handers. I think many older people who are naturally left-handed can also write with the right hand, thanks to being force to write that way in primary school.
Sorry, I was just getting this conversation back on track. I actually thought this was funny until I read the comments and saw everybody buzzkilling it. Lighten the fuck up, k?
The picture on the left is from before the “image consultant” got a hold of him. With the mustache, and the old hair, Scooter was a righty. Post-makeover, he’s a southpaw.
Done and done.
