If you're Scott McInnis, you plagiarize and blame it on a staffer. Or let a staffer write it and don't check it. Looks like a sweetheart deal to me, and not a well done one at that.

I'm sure it is a misunderstanding.

Just goes to show that even ole Joe can make a mistake. Firm

Never let the opportunity to sling some mud go untaken.

My mistake...$300k for two years, not one.

Steven posted a news article with relevance to an ongoing gubernatorial campaign. You brought up a 23 year old story about a 45 year old event that was completely off topic.

You don't mention McInnis, colorado, western water issues, the foundation involved or anything else having to do with the story. You're claiming that your 'somebody else did it first' whine is a response but based on that criteria the only appropriate response wuld be to post a story about the first politician ever caught plagarizing which is certainly not even an American.

Your initial response is what is called a non sequitur. It is an attempt at diversion from the actual subject. It is a logical fallacy.

It was exactly on point, and on topic: politicians who have been caught plagiarizing. You are just pissed that you can't make it simply a partisan issue now. Caught any fish yet? [:D] Firm

[:D] Firm No one mentioned party in this thread prior to your comment. Oh, so you didn't read the very first sentence of the linked article? [:D] Although GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis presented his "Musings on Water" for publication as original works, portions are identical and nearly identical to an essay on water written 20 years earlier by now-Colorado Supreme Court Justice Gregory J. Hobbs. Try again. You really should ... yanno ... read the article under discussion. Party is mentioned as the frigging second word! So when are you going to post anything about the topic, rather than attacking me because I posted a "pre-rebuttal" to your favorite leftist line of attack? You don't seem to be very much of an angler, man. [8\|] Firm
