Wayne Allard Loves Him Some "McPlagiarist"

At a time when most Colorado Republicans are running away from plagiarism-tainted GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis as fast as they can…well, there’s got to be at least one who hasn’t been paying attention to the news for the last three weeks, right?

Naturally, cue former Sen. Wayne “Dullard” Allard. From a statement released by the McInnis campaign yesterday:

Stressing that Scott McInnis “has a proven conservative record of reining in government spending and fighting tax increases,” former U.S Senator Wayne Allard and his wife Joan today endorsed McInnis for Governor.

Senator Allard said that McInnis would be a strong adversary to federal encroachment on states’ rights and a staunch advocate of the 10th Amendment…

“I’m deeply honored to have the endorsement of the Wayne and Joan Allard,” McInnis said.  “They are highly respected throughout the state…”

“I’ve known Scott for years.  His common sense conservative values make him the strongest nominee for our party, and will make him a great governor too,” said Senator Allard.

Of course, this isn’t actually news–Wayne Allard’s wife Joan was listed as an endorser of McInnis over a year ago. Former Sen. Allard himself last made the news when he floated own his name as a possible candidate for President of Colorado State University. You’ll recall that CSU ultimately decided they needed a leader with more, if you will, intellectual gravitas.

And now that we know Allard isn’t fazed by academic fraud that would make Ward Churchill blush, it certainly looks as though CSU made the right decision.
