HELENA, Mont. (AP) — U.S. Sen. John Walsh of Montana says the U.S. Army War College has revoked his master's degree after an investigation into plagiarism allegations.

The Carlisle, Pennsylvania, college launched the probe in August after The New York Times published a story showing Walsh borrowed heavily from other sources for a research paper he wrote in 2007.

Walsh's office released a statement Friday saying the Army War College has revoked his status as a graduate. The statement says the senator disagrees with the findings but accepts the decision.

Walsh was appointed to his Senate seat in February and was the Democratic nominee for the seat. He dropped out of the race after the plagiarism allegations surfaced.

You will note this is not from those disgusting haters at FOX
 
Oh no, there's plenty of crooks, liars, thieves, arsewholes, shysters, clowns, fools, ... ... did I say "crooks and liars", oh, ok,... losers, hacks, cads, lowlifes, bums, screwballs, and hopeless f*#kups, on both sides of the aisle.

The news here is that the college withdrew his Master's degree while a serving Senator.

THAT, is news.

No argument there, and thanks to Walsh's stupidity, the Dems' lose a seat they might need to keep their slim hopes of a majority.

Don't worry, it's still almost a month to the election.

Plenty of time for some Republican to be indicted for something.

True, or for some more e-mails to go missing or some WMD's to be found--; Oh, wait, that was the prior administration...
