Bill Owens minces no words on ex-prof Ward Churchill

Former guv, deposed for trial, calls Churchill 'a plagiarist and a fraud'.

Former Gov. Bill Owens on Friday compared one-time University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill to a famous moviemaker - and it wasn't a compliment.

"In retirement, he's starting to look a lot like Michael Moore,"

Owens and others, including University of Colorado regents, are being deposed as part of the trial, scheduled to start March 9 in Denver District Court.

Owens declined to discuss in detail what kinds of questions he was asked and what answers he gave, but Owens wasn't shy about expressing his opinion of Churchill.

"Ward Churchill is a plagiarist and a fraud, and, regrettably, we continue to pay for his deception."

Churchill could not be reached for comment.

Churchill was found guilty of deliberate false assertions, misrepresentation of sources, and plagiarism.

Churchill is actually to the left of the Moore by some margin.

Ward is currently not teaching.

He wants his taxpayer pay checks, again.

>> Churchill ... Lane claimed the firing was in retaliation for exercising his constitutional right to free speech

Ask the kids from C. U. Boulder who demonstrated in favor of concealed handguns on campus after the Virginia Tech tragedy what C. U. thinks about “free speech”.

Thanks geo. After Obama leaves office in 2017, Churchill will be ready to start his rehabilitation book-tour.
