DENVER, COLO. -- Another possible example of alleged plagiarism by Colorado gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis has emerged.
The Denver Post reports that part of a newspaper column McInnis wrote in 1994 resembled a column that appeared earlier in The Washington Post.
The earlier column was written by Richard Allen, a former national security adviser, and Daryl Plunk of the Heritage Foundation.
A McInnis spokesman declined to comment to The Denver Post, saying he hadn't had enough time to look into the matter.
A call by The Associated Press to McInnis' campaign office early Wednesday wasn't immediately returned.
McInnis, a Republican, apologized Tuesday for essays he passed off as his own that used passages written by someone else, calling it unacceptable but unintentional.
