Clackamas County prosecutor Alfred French, who called Sen. John Kerry a liar in a political commercial, acknowledged Thursday that he lied to his boss when confronted about an extramarital affair with a colleague.
Hours later, the Clackamas County district attorney's office said French had been placed on a 30-day paid leave while it conducts an investigation into his conduct.
French's former boss, James O'Leary, said he asked French about the rumored affair with a secretary about 10 years ago, but French denied it. O'Leary said he would have fired French if he'd admitted the relationship because it violated office policy.
French, who said he served in the same military unit with Kerry for two months in 1969, has come under intense scrutiny in the past week as the anti-Kerry ad has become a central issue in the presidential campaign. Suddenly, the well-respected Oregon prosecutor found himself the target of questions about his own credibility and the truthfulness of his statements against Kerry...

The small arms fire has been ongoing. The Swift Boat Vets are now being shelled. Fire directed by the Mainstream Media. We new it was coming. Here we go. Kerry defactaed on this nation and its veterans in the 1970's. Nothing has change in the new milennium.

These tactics bring back familiar memories. Sounds like Clintons thugs are on the prowl.

We have Clinton to provide the template though.
These extra-marital affairs are just errors in judgment, don't you know.

Wait a minute, Democrats, I thought that everyone lies about sex. I thought that was OK, right?
Now if the Democrats can just prove that Kerry enjoys having sex with Naval decorations, this can all go away.

Here comes the smear machine. The net message is:
"Anyone who ever lied may not accuse Kerry of lying."

French is just one Swifty. They've still got a lot of ammo against Kerry. And enough money to buy a lot of ads.
I knew this stuff was going to happen when I saw they pulled his PDF affidavit off their site.
To: Mr.Atos
Destroying people like French won't do a thing to help Kerry. The damage to him is done. It does show the viciousness of liberals, though.
To: Mr.Atos
I hope he sues his boss for violating his civil rights.
After all the President of the United States and half the US Senate said that was a personal issue and had no business being investigated.

What I found very interesting was the statement by French's boss, where he said that divulging the affair would have cost French his job at the time. What I found MOST interesting was that the Oregonian, while informing us of this aspect of professional ethics, missed the significance of that statement entirely (ala. Clinton).

You can bet that if it happens to a couple more that the next ad will address the Kerry Campaign releasing personal information that is causing MILITARY HEROS to be Harassed and Fired.
I hope the engage that with a Barrage of Smart Bombs. 90 Percent of America will react negatively to that treatment of a VET. Especially THESE VETS.

All the makings of a massive job discrimination lawsuit. And with 30 days to muster his forces, all the while making TV appearances... Hey, send this to Heraldo.

10 years after the fact, no less.
I remember one way Juanita Brodderick's claims were dismissed was that it had happened "10 years ago, old news, let's move on".
To: George W. Bush
It is no surprise to me either. But, it does expose the hypocrisy (AGAIN) of the Left and their fourth estate of fifth columnists.
I am just sorry to see good Men getting spit upon again, by a crowd of juveniles that isn't fit to shine their shoes. The SBV have seen both combat and harassment before, and after living 30 years in the shadow of Kerry's treason, they are no doubt determined to face him down. But, it is going to be a rough ride. They will not be alone this time.

Gee wiz ... Just the other day some of us guys and gals at the office were sitting around the Water Cooler, joking about all the flirting and extra-marital affairs we'd all had (LOL).
It was really a very wonderful Soul-Cleansing experience ...
We were just following the lead of our local newprint media heroes, who, in a week-long series of Front Page stories, had discussed Publicly all the inter-office affairs (current and past) at the St. Pete Times.
Coming soon to a Liberal Newspaper / NPR Radio Station / TV News Station near you ...
