The French Connection

The Palin Truth Squad, an operation run by the McCain-Palin campaign, has released evidence of the vast conspiracy behind Troopergate. The flow chart above explains the "French Connection," detailing the key relationships between Alaska State Sen. Hollis French, who is overseeing the Alaska Legislature's investigation of Palin's firing of Walt Monegan, the state public safety commissioner.

The Palin Truth Squad alleges that French and other "Democratic operatives" are aiming to "smear" Gov. Palin over Monegan's firing as she makes her big run for vice president of the United States. The McCain camp has now taken over public relations for the governor's troubles over the Legislature's investigation. One flack says she is a volunteer, the other a paid McCain campaign staffer.
