Good. Fire him and make him get his hair cut.

Thanks for the ping Char!

My guess is that the university will ignore this information and pay off this low life lying dog.

I've been following this series. It is some of the best investigative journalism (and I use the word unironically here) I have seen in my life. However, don't look for it to receive any Pulitzers. Then again, I could be wrong. If Dorothy Rabinowitz can win the Pulitzer... But that could have been a fluke on the part of the committee.

Churchill claims that his type of work is common in academia. I'm sure the rest of the faculty would like to differ. Who needs friends anyway.

This all makes me wonder: who's brighter Churchill or Howard Dean?

What a sweet read!

I care less about the ramblings of a fool, a liar, and a plagiarizer than I do about the fast track hiring of the fool by a university that purports to have any integrity at all. God knows there will always be a job for Churchill at UMASS Amherst!

They gave him a pass on virtually any of the requirements normally expected of a candidate. I guess I should just check the "American Indian/Native American" box on the "voluntary" diversity/AA sheet and let the chips fall where they may. I can only presume that the liberal faculty will be so starry eyed about my "native American" background (which would not be a lie, by the way) that I would be hired, tenured and promoted to full Professor in the blink of an eye.

It must really suck to be one of the real American Indian candidates that got bumped for this charlatan. I would think that they would have cause to sue.

For anyone interested in journalism as it can and should be practiced, it is mandatory reading. This is how it’s done, deserving of the widest possible readership and praise....

This is a great point. I'm one of those people who quick to mock the press when I think they've screwed up. So it's only fair to complement everyone who was involved with this wonderful series for a great job.

I will definitely give the Rocky Mountain News all the credit in the world for their work on exposing this cigar store "Indian." They have sunk their teeth into his neck like a pit bull and they're not letting go at all. And this despite every other MSM outlet in the US either ignoring the story outright, or staring starry-eyed at Churchill while they take his dictation.

Excellent catch.

You do find the gold in the ore Char.
