Churchill Down

Gotta love it...from the comments to the Inside Higher Ed story on the latest in the Ward Churchill saga.

Admiration
You have to admire a guy as corrupt as Churchill. He defended himself before the UC Committee regarding plagiarism charges by revealing that he had ghostwritten two articles that had text similar to his own. They then discovered he had used those two articles as citations, providing evidence of scholarly agreement for his positions, effectively citing himself in a circle of wondrous invention.
