Adding jQuery Validation to Jetstrap via Javascript

Question

As of right, now Jetstrap doesn't include jquery.validate as a plugin.
I know they're already working on a feature for users add external JS/CSS, but in the mean time I'd like to find a temporary fix.

I've tried to import from a hosted source dynamically by using a few scripts, but none of my approaches have worked so far.

Example (yes, crude but..):

(function(){
  var newscript = document.createElement('script');
     newscript.type = 'text/javascript';
     newscript.async = true;
     newscript.src = 'http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.9/jquery.validate.js';
     (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]||document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(newscript);
})();

Max, one of the creators of Jetstrap posted on Stack 2 days ago about loading scripts dynamically, but his solution for datepicker, and they don't exactly work the same way...

Here's his example:

$(function() {
    $.getScript('//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.0.2/js/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js', function() {
       $('.datepicker').datepicker();
    });
})

Any creativeness I've had today to deal with problems has dried up, so does anyone have any advice on how to solve this?

Thanks

Ohgodwhy's suggestion worked, here's my final code, please use it if you'd like to do the same on Jetstrap:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.getScript('http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.9/jquery.validate.js', function() {
        $("#RegistrationForm").validate({
            rules: { 
            "data[User][email]": {
                email: true,
                required: true,
                minlength: 5,
                maxlength: 50
            },
            "data[User][password]": { 
                required: true, 
                minlength: 8,
                mypassword : true
            }, 
            "data[User][confirm_password]": {
                required: true,
                equalTo: '#UserPassword'
            } 
        }, 
        highlight: function(element) {
            $(element).closest('.control-group').removeClass('success').addClass('error');
        },
        success: function(element) {
            element
            .text('OK').addClass('valid')
            .closest('.control-group').removeClass('error').addClass('success');
        }
    });
});
})
