Can anyone take a guess as to who Arizona Republicans want to replace Jon Kyl as their next senator? No? Okay, close your eyes and imagine that a scary Mexican man with bloodshot eyes and cocaine pouring out of his orifices is pointing a gun at you and the only way to stop him is electing the right senator. Got it now? You’re exactly right: They want that Mexican-hating sheriff guy Joe Arpaio to win, according to a poll in which he leads announced candidate Rep. Jeff Flake, J.D. Hayworth, and (f.f.s.) Rep. Ben Quayle. This is a murderer’s row (Jared Loughner FTW!) of legislative talent. How on Earth will Arizona be able to decide which of these guys will best embarrass them in the Senate?
I actually don’t think Arpaio would run for Senate, because a county sheriff has a lot more direct power to punish and humiliate people — all while relentlessly self-promoting oneself — than one junior senator. A senator can vote to keep Guantánamo open, sure, but a sheriff gets to actually set up little camps and frog-march his prisoners around town.
That might be true if senators weren’t afforded the privilege to take custody of “released” Guantánamo prisoners and force them to do everything from child care to cleaning the gutters to sucking their cock to constituent work to writing legislation. But we can only assume they are. (They wear shock collars at all times, of course. Just in case.) [Roll Call/Salon]

But most of the Senate already wears pink panties without being forced to. Where's the fun in that Joe Schmo the Dildo?
"Son, you got a panty on yer head."
Nice….My favorite Coen Brothers film.
What the heck is wrong with Arizonans? Honestly.
Wile E. Coyote = Arizonians
Acme Products = Stupid ideas they come up with.
Road Runner = Messicans or Liebruls or islamofascists 'mos.
Very high cliff = Reality
Gravity = Reality?
Gravity = Reality they only slowly become aware of
The Theory of Gravity is only a theory!
Who's Speedy Gonzales, then?
Meg McCain? I am so not looking forward to my July trip to Phoenix.
The guy who does all the work, obviously.
Except that in Arizona, Wile E. Coyote seems to be winning.
WIle E always thought he was winning till the road bed disappeared and gravity took over. They're not over the cliff, yet.
Ahhhhhh…..Fuck it, I don't have that much time.
They're trying to emulate South Dakota.
More like South Africa of the 70's.
I'm hearing AZ wants to make it illegal to give medical treatment to people who can't prove they're in USA legally. "Give me your tired, your hungry, your poor, two forms of ID." The ostensible purpose is because illegals cost hospitals by not paying their bills. Legal residents and citizens do that too. How about a law that makes it illegal to treat ANYONE who can't show ability to pay? Anyway, if passed, AZ legislature is a Death Panel.
So if a kid riding his bicycle gets hit by a car, and that kid isn't carrying a state-issued ID card…
He gets deported to Mexico?
Hey, didn't that exact scenario happen on Beavis & Butthead when Beavis was doing his Cornholio thing?
Jan Brewer, Chair. Despite his sins, Olbermann remorselessly and admirably called her out for letting people die, interviewing the victims, etc.
I asked this question yesterday, more or less. I was told no water, arsenic in the water, and chemical plants melting and getting chemicals in the water, if that helps any.
Still doesn't explain THAT level of crazy. They've turned up the bat shit insane up to an eleven.
Plus the dry heat – that's gotta make a difference.
Peyote. And inbreeding. While on peyote.
Also clam dip.
Racist motherfuckers, methamphetamine, too many trailers and not enough schools, Fox News is the dominant news source, a bias against education, tea party, bloated white pick-up trucks, fake tits, political landscape is dominated by real estate / land interest, fuck tards watching nothing but Hannity and televised sports, short attention spans, Hummer II and III, really tacky tattoos, Bristol, Meg, dry heat, raised trucks, small minds, born again christian mega churches run by chomos, xtreme everything, too few teeth, bad dentistry, hair hoppers, the born again, methamphetamine addicted asshole who used to live next door to me, predatory lenders, weak ass chef / owners who name their restaurants after themselves, scottsdale, dan quayle, brewer and lousy soil. Short list, I live here and can go on for days.
I was going to come up with some kind of explanation about how the state is full of crazy old retirees from North Dakota, but I realized it's just the heat that drives them nuts. Same in Florida, Mississippi, Texas, etc.
They choose to live in a desert. Yes, a screw is loose.
If he gets to be a senator will he make Miss Lindsay (C) S.Carolina wear the pink panties?
(C)=closet
I love to wear pink panties!
This shall be an Intense Debate!
Arpaio, Quayle and Hayworth a trifecta of ignorance.
Whoever wins, AZ wins!
An Axis of Arseholes.
Bristle would indignantly demand to be included in that group, but "fourfecta" sounds too elitist to utter.
Ha! I love it; Bristle.
Don't forget McCain, oh, and also, assholery. I know, that's more than three.
Just the thought of Arpaio being given any more legitimacy gave me heart palpitations. I think I need to lie down…
…for a siesta? Careful about doin' that around Joe.
A cage in every barrio.
I think he already has that.
Call bullshit on that poll. Where was Bristol??? And please, don't be whining about age issues and such libtard reading of the ConsTITution.
Bristol is going to replace sheriff Joe. It'll be like that reality show with Steven Seagal but one million times worse.
The people of Phoenix will vote for him just to get him out of town.
Under bed now . . . . .
I lost a tuna sandwich. Is it under there, by chance?
One of the dust bunnies is nibbling on something, I will ask.
How is Shawna Forde polling?
winner
I think Sheriff Joe would call her an underachiever.
Nicely played Smurf.
She shot up the chart to #1 with a bullet? (I feel dirty…)
WIN
I'm still awaiting the results including Jared Loughner, myself.
Emperor of Internet for 2/22/11! You win a DVD collection of the Lawrence Welk Show, a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, "The San Fransisco Treat", and a new shiny pair of Truck Nutz.
But it'd be OK if he won, because he's a big fat fatty and about a 100 years old, so he'd probably keel over from a heart attack if he had to walk all the way from the senate tram to the senate chambers.
He wouldn't be around long enough to do any more damage than Kyl, is what I'm saying.
And the voting record would remain about the same. "No" chalks up as a no vote, no matter who delivers it.
Isn't Arpajo a Mesican Muslin name?
Birth certificate?
South Dakota raised the ante.
Arizona is all in.
This is the definition of a "race to the bottom", people. Starring Republicans, of course.
~
It's Arpaio's choice: Little Douche in a Big Cesspool or Big Douche in a Small Cesspool.
Is this the guy who dresses all the prisoners in pink?
Kinky.
Maybe Arpaio can become Lindsey's new dresser.
Only the first few times you get gangfucked.
Can we write in for Tits McCain?
Tired of moderate wussies like David Duke? Vote Joe Arpaio!
"You know, I really like that George Lincoln Rockwell boy, but he's just missing that something extra! That je ne sais quoi…."
Arizona: Like Alabama But Covered With Sand
There is your new state motto, AZ.
Arizona: Like Alabama But Covered With Sand
…and the biggest butt crack of any state.
Substitute any of the A-states there. Alaska, Arkansas, Alabama. They're all Arizonas with less sand.
Arizona — Iran with Thongs.
Arizona: It's a Dry Crazy.
Arizona: Becase Mississippi's Sticky, Y'all!
Arizona: This is your brain; this is your brain on meth.
Mississippi: Thank God for Arizona.
It;s a Dry Crazy made me laugh out loud – now my colleagues KNOW I am weird. I'll just have to tell them I was laughing at a YouTube video.
Ha! Glad that my humor could make you squirm at work.
Christ. Why don't they just elect an actual gun to represent all their repressed, pent-up, raging impotence and be done with it?
Well, if Arpaio can't carry a gun into the senate, then he's a failure to the Tea Party and the NRA.
I wouldn't be surprised if SCOTUS is working on "person" status for guns right now.
Or they could just elect a penis, same thing.
Gun/Straw 2012!
because guns don't kill people, people kill people. they might, however, elect a predator drone tho.
Some one should really run for office in Arizona as Yosemite Sam just to show how ridiculous the place is.
I think he would need to clear up that legal mess and go to prison first and then he could become Senator. Also, he hasn't crashed an airplane or embezzled a bank yet so maybe, yes, if he works real hard for a couple of more years. Pay attention Bristol.
I'm starting to wonder if there is any stupidity in politics I would be surprised by in 2011.
This is good news for John McCain.
If not Herman Cain as well.
This will end well.
It's like Sophie's choice but all the kids are retarded demonspawn.
Makes the choice easier, doesn't it?
He'll be heavily touting his qualifications, as the man who lead his county to be the only one to have in increase in crime while it went down everywhere else in Arizona.
Fortunately he'd never run — that would be like Mr. Kurtz going to Saigon.
Or like Howie Kurtz saying or writing something meaningful.
I was about to write that if Arpaio became Senator, whoever replaced him as Sheriff couldn't be worse than he was. But, then I forgot that we're talking about Arizona. Sigh.
For all you Arpejo hatas out there. This fascinating article will change your mind. Forever!
"Sheriff Joe Gets Mexican Food" http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/dpp/news/immigration/...
He's such a fucking drama queen…he rolls out the "I can't eat in Mexican restaurants because Mexicans will spit in my food," story on a regular basis, apparently unaware that there are plenty of gringos around here willing to offer up a phlegm oyster in Joe's soup as a gesture of solidarity with our brown brothers.
No, he's got it wrong, they wouldn't SPIT in his food.
This is exactly why the Mexicans signed the Treaty of Guadalupe. TO GET AZ THE FUCK OUT OF THIER COUNTRY. Well, here's the dealy-o, we don't want it anymore and you can have it back along with Tex-ass. We'll throw in AR, AK, AL, MS and parts of NM. We get to keep CA though. Deal?
Make'm take Utah and all the Mormons, too.
…and they can take South Dakota too.
Ben Quayle gonna have to kidnap some Mexicans and parade them around in the desert if want any chance with Arizona GOP primary voters.
What about Leatherface? Arizonans love them some Leatherface.
Gaddafi's kinda busy right now.
The Republicans will nominate someone like NV Gov. Brian Sandoval as their VP candidate to try to show they don't hate all Latinos — but Sheriff Joe will undo that in one hatey, persecutey swoop.
NO self-respecting Messicans name their kid Brian.
Still too soon to say if he's better than Gibbons was…
Still too soon to say if he's better than Gibbons was…
I'm not sure it's possible to NOT be better than Gibbons.
Well Arpaio may be an 8th-Amendment-violating brutal racist fucktard, but it's not like his policies and rhetoric have killed anyone or anything.
(Looks at sidebar) Oh, wait a minute…
I just got an e-mail to sign a petition to draft Elizabeth Warren to run for the Senate from Massachusetts.
I'm just contemplating the enormous gulf between that and Arpaio running for anything.
One way AZ could begin atone for its Amazing Cavalcade of Stupid in recent years:
Steve Nash for Senate!
We could use some Flake right about now.
(Official Campaign Slogan)
The sheriff is near!
He does have a big nose….
Yes he is, Gabby, and this one is white, and fat, and ignorant.
The nasty bastard is smiling in that picture. He must be thinking about persecuting and humiliating browns.
And picturing them in pink underwear.
…but I did not shoot the deputy.
I'm starting to get a feeling that all AZ has is a bunch of dick-heads and a big hole in the ground.
Here I thought the article was referring to that other Arizona sheriff, the Pima County lawman who said Arizona was basically full of insane sun-baked Olds and Crazies. Then I saw the photo and realized it was just more of the same from America's favorite Stasi interrogator.
Big question: Will he be elected or indicted first?
Not a day goes by where I don't get some new information that the US is turning into an ugly fucking country.
Actually, not that much has changed. It's always had an ugly side, but it was eaiser to ignore it.
that's a good point…maybe I should have said "uglier", but your is still valid.
Be that as it may, my woman is on her way here and we're going to do fun things this evening.
I tend to agree that Arpaio is most fulfilled by his jail sideshow schtick of Tent City, pink underwear and Ladmo bags. Small thoughts for small minds. Not to mention he's a million years old.
They live forever out there, it's the lack of humidity, mummifies them.
Did you know? In Flagstaff, AZ the rocks are red because they're embarrassed.
Sheriff Joe's, set up his command in the dusty armpit of Amazonia. Searching for illegal’s as a way to thwart crime. Never mind investigating the crimes already committed. His deputies are a splitting image of Reno 911. His constant use of posies has only been slowed by the cost of Depends rising. That said he’d be a perfect pick to represent AZ. Think of all the fun he’ll be.
The only way AZ could begin to atone for its Amazing Cavalcade of Stupid:
Steve Nash for Senate!
Steve Nash, eh? He grew up about 20 miles from me. In Canada, eh?
Well, even so — he's still awesome. He should be Senator for a few years, then maybe President — just get a birth certificate that says Vancouver, WA or something, dime a dozen.
we are positively drowning in a sea of really really terrible news stories from america today.
well except the fat tasered scooter thief.
He will fit right in!
Cost the Az. taxpayer 44 million bucks so far on legal- check.
Loves to humiliate people- check.
Dumb as a rock- check.
Good thing it's just a poll and not a real race. However, I think the same poll shows how moronic Arizonans are. I think (and I hate to say this) that Bristol moving there may have bumped their collective IQ up a decimal point.
Why? Did she bring Trig with her?
lol- (shoulda read b4 I wrote)
Only if she's got a cake in the oven to add the extra 0.75 points.
I think it will be a sheriff, but not old Joe. McCain has anointed a young feller named Paul Babeu as the Republican to watch in Arizona. He's the GOP's go-to law enforcement specialist on illegal immigration, even though the county he struts around isn't much closer to the border than Arapaio's. Babeu's biggest problem in life is that his name sounds French. Other than that, he's a lock for whatever office he sets his cap on because he gives good TV.
And even though he has one of those super-Christian marriages, I wouldn't be surprised to find him paying a call on his constituent Miss Bristol. She might not be able to resist, since Sheriff Paul's man-scent is POWERFUL.
He even has his own website (totally separate from the Pinal County sheriff's department website) just to extol his personal virtues. I'd direct you to read his "News" page, but I don't want you to lose your lunch. http://www.sheriffpaul.com/
Babeu drives me crazy, because he appears not to be crazy, while saying completely insane shit. Like you said, he's good on camera and calming, but he's as crazy as the best of them.
Olé.
Que?
Whaddya mean there's a problem with having a French name? Look at the success of Basil Marceaux (dot com)!
Anyone else remember when you were young and naive, and were just baffled, mystified, by what had happened in WWII, how had the people of Germany allowed this movement of paranoid, insane, murderous thugs to seize power, hijack their country, how had they allowed all the atrocities and crimes to be committed, does anyone else remember when that was your response, the first time you learned the history of the Nazi rise to power and the Holocaust? Being kinda dumbfounded as to how the great mass of people could have allowed this to happen?
Well, the bright side to whats going on now, is , now we know how something like that could happen.
A quick look at Pam Gellar's blog and those of other Muslim-haters also help show how that could happen; if Bush had gone full racist like they had after 9/11 it probably would have happened here.
Don't think it can't still happen.
I think it happened while everyone was listening to Telefunken's broadcast of "Mit den Sternen tanzend" on the radio.
I always question people in Arizona why they (otherwise nice, seemingly sane people) support Sheriff Joe. They jus' DO, is all. No reason. All of them. He gets really good press here, all the time!
the only exceptions are people who have ever had a slight brush with the law in Maricopa county. Arpaio treats drunk drivers to a gitmo experience they never, ever get over.
Read "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis. Not one of his best but very a reasonable description of a dictatorship taking hold of the US during the 1930's.
I've been reading a lot of pre-Civil War history lately, and it continually strikes me that today's conservatives are the same people who supported slavery.
Here's J. H. Thornwell, future president of the College of South Carolina, in 1850:
The parties in this conflict are not merely abolitionists and slaveholders — they are atheists, socialists, communists, red republicans, jacobins on the one side, and the friends of order and regulated freedom on the other. In one word, the world is the battleground — Christianity and atheism the combatants; and the progress of humanity the stake.
Sound familiar?
Communists and Jacobins, Communists and Nazis, Muslims and atheist leftists, Muslims infiltrating CPAC — my my, the right has a singular ability to unite the strangest of bedfellows. Which leads me to believe that they're really really paranoid or that everybody really hates them. Not that those have to be mutually exclusive, now that I think of it.
Hitler's rise was strictly by the book, ya know. No shit.
I think J.D. Hayworth would have the inside track for the Tea Bagger vote. I can't see Arpaio running. He strikes me as the kind of guy that may have some skeletons in his closet that he may not want to come to light, if he runs for the Senate.
And I would imagine that a good part of the residents of the Arizona Correctional Department would relish the idea of one former Sheriff Joe Arpaio becoming an inmate.
Is that why he was up in New Hampshire measuring the support he would get if he ran for president, which he claims people are BEGGING him to do? I have no doubt there are, indeed, skeletons in his closet that would chill the sane among us, but he's not one of them.
Either that, or more than likely, he honestly doesn't believe that he's done anything wrong.
Fuck, I thought it was the other sheriff who plamed the Giffords shootings on teabagging.
Oh, no. He's still here in Pima County, now fighting for his political life, as people swarm to Arizona from other states to assist in his ouster from a job that has nothing to do with them.
Yes.
Flake, Hayworth, Quayle, and Arpaio, huh?
The only good news is that three of them will have to lose…
Come on, Gabby, I'm sorry you were shot but snap out of it–your country needs you like now…
The most ironic thing about this situation: most Dems I know in Tucson didn't even wholeheartedly support Gabby (who used to be a Republican) because she's too conservative. We voted for her for the same reason we'll vote for Obama's reelection in the 2012 general — it's better than the alternative. Needless to say, I don't personally know anyone who's not utterly and completely horrified and shaken to the core by what happened to her, but I have to admit having held my nose when I voted for her last time.
They wear shock collars at all times, of course.
And you should see what the prisoners wear.
He's only ahead because Lynndie England isn't running.
But will Arpaio finish the dang fence?
He doesn't really want it finished. His entire reputation hinges on having Mexicans to "handle" on a daily basis. If they were kept out he'd lose his job because people would notice all the many things he's NOT doing.
I have a secret love of the television show COPS. There is an old episode from the early 90's that features a 20 minute walk with Joe Arpaio through a Maricopa County Jail. It's a pretty interesting little piece of junk television when watched in retrospect. The whole thing is a discussion of the prison bologna. Seriously.
I don't know what you non-Arizonans have heard about Sheriff Joe, but he's much, much worse than that. For example, having the editor and publisher of the Phoenix New Times arrested for listing his home address among his other properties in a series investigating his shady real estate deals. And having the Phoenix City Attorney arrested for looking into millions in missing/misappropriated funds. Plus, he's a complete publicity hound. Arpaio's overt racism is just icing on an ugly cake.
Janet Napalitano 2012!
That's not a publicity hound, that's abuse of power. He should be the one that is arrested.
At least he hasn't had members of the press raped yet. See story on Lara Logan in Gawker.
I read this on some AZ online rag, I thought it was funny…
“Some people claim Arpaio's a racist, but we know that's not true. In his jails, he treats everyone like Mexicans.”
Probably there's more payola in being a senator. He needs money for retirement.
That lardass can't have much of a retirement to look forward to unless you call being dead of a coronary retirement. he hasn't seen his feet or his dick in thirty years.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio is this generation's Lester Maddox and Arizona is the current equivalent of Alabama/Mississippi/Georgia in 1965.
Maybe more like James Traficant, who went from sheriff of the Youngstown, OH, area to US Congressman for the Youngstown mafia. He made himself popular with the masses by refusing to evict unemployed steelworkers when the US steel industry collapsed in the '70s. (It was the first foretaste of what's happening to everyone else now!) JT is out of prison now and threatening to run again, but whether he can make a come-back, who knows?
You're not allowed to talk about James Traficant so much without bringing up his epic haircut.
http://wwwimage.cbsnews.com/images/2006/01/11/ima...
No way. Food is much better in Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia. Unless you're into Whataburgers.
Very OT but Lara Logan was apparently sexually assaulted, in Egypt last week and is in hospital. WTF.
Ugh, I just read that. Truly hope she is okay, such a horrible thing to come out of a great moment.
Debbie Schussel says the attack warms her heart.
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/33031/how-muslims-...
Thanks. I thought nothing could disgust me further than the Bresenia Flores story today had done, but this one did!
What a hateful bitch.
jesus christ on a peppermint stick.
jesus christ.
Strangely enough, while the news story notes that Logan was rescued by a group of women and Egyptian soldiers, Schussel doesn't explain how they overcame their natural Muslin bloodlust and saved Logan, instead of joining in.
I'd never heard of this Schussel person before seeing this–if I'm lucky, I never will again.
I've never heard of this Schussel person before, and hope to never again. What has happened to this country that schit like this (including the "warms my heart" schit) can be proclaimed publicly without shame and without consequence?
Schlussel's expression of sentiment is one of the most starkly horrific justifications for why we don't let the medulla oblongata do the thinking anymore that I've ever seen. She clearly knows nothing about Lara Logan or anything about what happened, and yet she doesn't hestitate to dive in with making up some awful little xenophobic lesson out of it, at the same time lacking the least smidgen of humanity. Incredible. If this was all I knew about our species, I'd have the lot of us sterilized without further consideration.
LOL! Check out the Yahoo comments if you want to see further proof of the death of humanity in this country.
Debbie Schlussel: making Pam Gellar look reasonable and warm-hearted.
Oh who am I kidding, they're both nuttier than Chinese chicken salad.
I'm off to warblog.
I know I'm going to get the shit fisted out of me, but the Missouri Shit-Kicker in me says that marriage and motherhood ought to make one think about being with their husband and children; not living the Indiana Jones Lifestyle of the Rich and Raped. These are decisions that adults make. I think this is an tragedy, I don't condone it, I would have done all in my power to stop it if I were there, it is not her fault, (I'm just going to say it) if she were at home (Lady Di comes to mind) with her family this would not have happened. Now commence the fisting.
I'm still not going to move to Arizona.
Senator Arpaio will start out with the Senate's most important challenge: banning all Gonzalezes and Rodriguezes from Major League Baseball! It's finally time to make the Arizona Diamondbacks a real American team!
Boy, I wish we had some of them camps and some prisoners to frog-march around…
I'm with Pareene here – Arpaio is about 268 years old and loves the nitty-gritty of local intimidation too much to run for federal office. I had missed that Kyl was retiring, though; good riddance to bad rubbish!
BTW, have y'all seen Sheriff Joe's tank? He rides it around town on parade days:
http://matchbin-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/public/si...
It's times like these that I sort of almost miss Neilist–Thanks to a misspent adolescence of building plastic model kits, I know enough about armored vehicles to self-importantly shout, 'That's no tank, that's a self-propelled howitzer!" but I don't have the military-grade geek skills to say, "Look, ANY moron knows it's a "M-Whatever DeathThrower."
Hey, that’s not a tank. That’s a 155mm self propelled artillery piece. What the hell is he throwin down range, loads of shit?
G'head and run, Joe. I can't wait to see the primary debate that ends like the OK Corral.
We've had political debates here where the governor freely admitted she didn't even know where she was and that didn't even faze the citizens of Arizona, who watched, scratched their heads, and then reelected her.
hes gonna probably die in jail.
The Phoenix New Times puts it succinctly: "Joe Arpaio Says He's Mulling Run for U.S. Senate –We think he's full of shit" (The cowards actually said "S**t," which doesn't strike me as especially "alternative").
If you really want a depressing litany of media whoredom that makes S___ P___ seem modest, just do a search on "Arpaio" on the New Times site.
Places I won't be taking my next vacation: Arizona, South Dakota ….
… Kansas … Oklahoma … Texas. I seriously never thought there were states that could make South Carolina look like a garden spot and now there are a host of them.
ok.
with lara logan story today officially sucks worse than hitler and i am just going to loop videos of larry the cat coming home to 10 downing street.
I would, at my age an older chick with big hooters could win my vote.
Why is there a pic of Jan Brewer at the top of this article……oh, wait.
Aw, crap. Does this mean I have to learn the words to the Horst Wessel Lied again?
So, this guy that's under federal investigation for all manner of civil and human rights abuses is leading a primary field in Arizona? Yeah, sounds about right. Why don't they just announced Jared Loughner's run and get it over with, already.
"WTF, Arizona?!" simply doesn't work, anymore. It's so appropriate, but so cliche. I need a new one.
take back what you said about Wisconsin.
take it back!
He was born in Arizona, lived in a condo made of stone-a.
Buried with a donkey, he’s my favorite honkey.
Hahahahahahahahaha! I love Steve, love that song.
So when Arpaio realizes the tweet bird wants to eat all of his brass, how will he react?
To be fair, it wasn't exactly an ideal slate to choose from: neither Nikolai Ceaucescu, Papa Doc Duvalier nor Otto Skorzeny were nominated. Arizona has to poll for the psychopaths they have, not the psychopaths they WISH they had.
The Googles tells me that Arpaio's of Italian descent, but, I don't know, man; he looks a little Messicanny/Injuny to me…
To much time out in the desert sun. Makes everyone look like beef jerky after awhile.
All of them, Katie.
Arizona has become a veritable black hole of American politics. Just look at those names. Gawd, I try to think of a place with a bench that deep with that much horrible all the way through; I can't. Usually, even some of the Deep South senators and legislators have some lovable quirk, but these guys are just plain through-and-through vile except for maybe Flake who seems if he was a congressman in another state he maybe a run-of-the-mill Republican with a nice-guy personality.
They love this sherrif because he's not "near."
All you have to do to win a GOP primary in Arizona is wave a pistol around your head and scream "I am the Mexikin hatin'est Mexikin hater who ever hated him some Mexikins!"
I'd like to see a side-by-side on that, with somebody like Jim Clark. I think Arpaio has him beat.
