Scott McInnis has a new reason not to subscribe to the Denver Post

Because not only is the beleaguered Republican gubernatorial candidate an alleged plagiarist, he's also a penny pincher.

In the exercise room of McInnis's downtown Denver digs, the candidate is known for giving other people's papers a work-out, explaining that he doesn't subscribe to the Post during the week -- but he does get the Sunday paper at home on the Western Slope.

And now, even if he wasn't being beaten like a drum by the Post, which yesterday urged him to withdraw from the race, McInnis has another reason not to subscribe.

If he's going to have to return the $300,000 that the Hasan Family Foundation paid for his pilfered "Musings on Water," he's going to have to pinch those pennies even harder.
