Clackamas County (Oregon) puts Alfred French on leave after he says he misled his supervisor about an extramarital affair

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.

1. Good

It seems that many of those who are questioning Kerry's integrity seem to have a casual regard for the truth themselves.

2. Excuse me......

it's OK to lie on an affidavit about someone, but it's not OK to lie about an affair? Jeesus, do these Repukes ever have anything else on their minds except sex?

Yes...it's OK to lie about John Kerry....but you can't lie about a 10 year old affair?

Where is the logic

Don't think his 'record' in the DA's ofice would have been scrutinized so closely w/o the hundreds of emails from DU!!

Also, is Foote a dem or a repuke?

14. They only got 28 e-mails, remember? This, like most everything the

amoral GOP does is so transparently bogus. He's out because thousands of people called and wrote demanding his disbarrment for lying about Kerry.

11. Acorns and oak trees

A group of veterans gathered at the Clackamas
County Courthouse to protest the political statements of one
of their own. Alfred French has worked in the District
Attorney's office in Clackamas for 20 years, but his recent
appearance in a TV ad denouncing John Kerry has a group of
vets calling for his resignation.

"Someone the community trusts," says veteran Don Stewart, "cannot be lying in
sworn affidavits."

French has yet to make a public statement about the controversy, but his boss has
released a statement supporting him.
