...Other legislators lay the blame at the Democrats' door. "I believe the word came down from national Democrats to local Democrats to do everything in their power to take her down," says state senator Gene Therriault, a Republican who represents the town of North Pole. "We started seeing a proliferation of ethics complaints against her. It was an orchestrated effort to take her down." Either way, all sides agree that the relationship is irreparable...
...Palin ally, Anchorage Republican Senator Gene Therriault, formed an impromptu spin room after French's statement, telling the cameramen and reporters who crowded around him that Oct. 10 was an "artificial deadline" and that the real question of the investigation was already solved in his mind - Palin had the right to fire Walt Monegan because he was an at-will employee.

As he hisses, squeals and writhes to express Gollum's two warring psyches (the hobbit he was, the half-life wreck his ring lust has made of him), Therriault gives the most astonishing, show-stealingly schizo performance since Steve Martin's half-man-half-woman...
