    		The connection is Milk.

    The expression “Twinkie defense” derives from the trial of Dan White, a former San Francisco, California (U.S.) Supervisor who assassinated George Moscone and Harvey Milk in 1978.

    And Alfred Leonard Cline was a serial killer who did away with his victims by making them drink poisoned milk:

    		Alfred Cline was known as the "Buttermilk Bluebeard."

    It's too bad he was not known as the "Buttermilk Whitebeard," it would have tied it all together so neatly.
