Sheriff Joe Gets Thumbs Up from Eric Holder's Justice Department

Sheriff Joe would like to sell
underwear in Sunland-Tujunga

From the Wall Street Journal:

A federal audit gave favorable grades to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for his treatment of inmates, amid a Justice Department probe into possible discrimination by the Arizona lawman against Hispanic inmates.

This should be good for clickety-clicks.

Paris Hilton Shaking Up Local Government?

On the heels of the early release debacle of Paris Hilton, Full Disclosure Network is replaying a debate between Sheriff Lee Baca and tough as nails Maricopa County (Arizona) Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Most laughable comment: Lee Baca says LA County Jails make Arpaio's jails (which make use of chain gangs and prisoners in pink underwear) look like summer camp.

In the meantime Sheriff Baca now has to grovel before the altar of the Reverend Al Sharpton (for letting a rich white girl off the hook) and could be facing a recall. Baca's not the only one facing a possible recall - Congressional candidate Merv Evans wants to recall the hanging judge in Hilton's case, Judge Michael Sauer.
