Sheriff Joe Arpaio, at once hailed and reviled as America’s toughest sheriff, sauntered into famously liberal Hollywood on Wednesday, traveling hundreds of miles from his home turf and disconcerting legal problems in Arizona to promote a documentary that offers, at best, an unflattering portrayal of his troubled 21 years in office.
Mr. Arpaio took the filmmaker’s invitation to attend the documentary’s screening at the Beverly Hills Film Festival as a chance for vindication, his shot at setting straight a record he only selectively embraces. Pink underwear for inmates held in the jails he oversees in Maricopa County? “There’s nothing degrading about it,” he said. Female chain gangs? “They love it,” he said in a deadpan voice. Inmates dying after rough handling by detention officers? “None of my officers have ever been convicted,” he asserted.

Stay safe, Mr. Arpaio.
The Hollywood commie libs don’t like it when a sheriff does the job he’s been elected to do. Arpaio does his job. That’s why he’s has been in office for 21 “troubled” years.
So let me get this straight... Your enemies attack you, none of it sticks, and your tenure is ‘troubled’?
The only reason NYT didn’t rehire Jayson Blair to manufacture a bogus hit piece is so they can still act “Shocked.... shocked....” and plead ignorance when Ocommie gets unmasked by Arpaio.
Ping to snarky NY Times attempted put-down of Sheriff Arpaio.
The timing, coming just before the impending “Universe Shattering” revelations about Barry, is very telling, IMO.
Also telling is that while cataloguing Arpaio’s so-called publicity stunts, the NY Times FAILS to devote one word to the Sheriff’s declaration that Barry’s BC was forged!
The only mention of Zullo’s CCP is:
“Soon, Mr. Murray said he found himself covering “publicity stunts,” as he put it: children visiting their parents in jail, the sheriff’s volunteer posse searching for an ostrich lost in the desert, and a singing competition called ‘Inmate Idol.’”
P.S.
Also noteworthy is that the NY Times article is closed to any comments! Wouldn’t want any “birthers” to point to the CCP’s BC investigation, now, would we? /s
“Soon, Mr. Murray said he found himself covering “publicity stunts,” as he put it: children visiting their parents in jail, the sheriff’s volunteer posse searching for an ostrich lost in the desert, and a singing competition called ‘Inmate Idol.’”
Hmmm...I’m wondering if there is some sort of secret coded message from the NY Times to Barry’s White House in the above sentence with “ostrich” the code word for Barry...
Yep, snarky is what I expect from the NYT girlies.
yup, I betcha the secret service nickname for 0 is “ostrich”....
since he puts his head in the sand(traps on the golf course) so much.
