Oregon Swift Boat Veteran Placed On Leave
August 27, 2004
OREGON CITY, ORE. - Clackamas County prosecutor Al French, the Vietnam veteran who called John Kerry a liar in a political ad and then admitted he had never witnessed Kerry in combat, is in hot water again. Now, The Oregonian reports that he has been put on a 30-day paid leave because he may have lied about a long-ago extramarital affair with a secretary.
French's former boss says French was asked about the alleged affair 10 years ago, but denied it.
However, French acknowledged the affair in conversation with The Oregonian. Such an affair would have violated office policy.
Because of the Kerry ad, French has been facing pickets outside his office, and complaints about unethical conduct to the state bar.
The ad was made by a controversial group called "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth."
I thought these vermin said that lying about sex is "no big deal"???????
It is only for them though...
Whoa. He had an affair? Too bad he wasn't President. Then the Leftists would say "it's only sex."
Aren't there any pro Swiftee vets out there to back this guy up?
New commercial:
Voice: John Kerry set his goons on his critics.
Voice: He hired private investigators to investigate my past.
Voice: He resurfaced an old personal affair, and has placed me in danger of losing my job.
Voice: John Kerry lied to the American people, and now he's resorting to blackmail and dirty tricks to keep from answering our questions.
So the digging begins. 10 years ago? Do they have proof, other than some woman's say-so?
Don't think this should even be discussed in the press regarding a private citizen. John Kerry is running for PRESIDENT, not dog-catcher. (I take that back--he caught the dog)
Of all the lawyers in the country, they HAD to pick on him. I don't believe in coincidence. Do you?
You mean a DEMOCRAT , LEFTIST, LIBERAL SCUMBAG President like Clintoon????
no coincidence... it's their dirty tricks. It was a he said/she said back when it first came up and it's nothing more now. It's just a vicious scheme to trash anyone who came out against him.
I almost hope he tries it on the guy who was on his boat...he sounded tough.
Surely we can expect McCain to denounce the attacks on the swiftvets personal lives.
Likewise,George Bush is going to miss a golden opportunity if he doesn't condemn them.
Kerry's minions. How "presidential" of John Kerry.
The Vet owes Kerry even more, now. Kerry hurt him once, and now he's doing it to him again.
Hey John, it's just about sex. It's personal. Why not just move on? Sound familiar?
Pray for W and Our Troops
The article says "long ago" affair. Ever hear of repentance?
Clinton, to this day, hasn't admitted having sex. Ever.
I guess this affair was turned up by the Kerry campaign private investigators and put out in their brown books. (I guess they call them "brown books" as in "brown nose")
Don't be surprised if you start seeing some "suicides"
Advice to Swift Boat Veterans: Stay out of airplanes.
The democrats have been hurt and hurt bad by the ads.
They can't refute the charges so they resort to the time honored communist ,socialists, and democrat tactic of attacking , killing or intimadating the messenger into silence.
ping for fup
I see his problem --- he is a LAWYER!
