In spite of the source, the first paragraph pretty much sums it up.

"Michael S. Carona (born May 23, 1955) is a former Sheriff-Coroner of Orange County, California. The Sheriff is the elected head of the Orange County Sheriff's Department. Carona, who resigned effective January 14, 2008, was indicted for federal corruption charges. He gained national prominence during the hunt for the killer of Samantha Runnion. After the quick capture of her murderer, Alejandro Avila, late night television host Larry King dubbed him "America's Sheriff" during an interview. In 2007, a federal grand jury indicted Carona, his wife, and his alleged longtime mistress on corruption charges. He resigned as Sheriff-Coroner but is currently free on bail."

I knew he was a corrupt power-mongering elitist mafioso-ish jerk but didn’t know he was a racist, too.

This trial is gonna be ugly.

“Transcripts of the tapes show Carona bragging about sexual conquests and using the “n-word” to describe inconsequential amounts of money.”

Hmmmmm This case is getting interesting - One of his fellow Sheriffs testified that it was common to do favors for contributors ... I guess the US Attorney's eyebrows shot up a foot after that.

So the Sheriff (Gary Penrod - San Bernardino) went home a resigned {:^(

He's trying to get the biggest suck up lying stooge appointed as his replacement....

I do hope that US Atty has some spare time to examine the Sheriff a bit closer.
