Sheriff Joe Arpaio -- Called the Most Discriminatory, Corrupt Sheriff in U.S. History -- Will Run for Reelection
Speaking yesterday in the town of Buckeye, Arizona, which he called "Hawkeye," Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio didn't disappoint the wingers who were waiting on pins and needles.
Joe Arpaio on Thursday announced he'll run for a sixth term as Maricopa County sheriff....

Oh, goodie.
Arpaio will be 80 years old by the time the election rolls around, but that's not the worst of it. By far. We've suffered through 20 years of Joe Arpaio in Maricopa County, but let's just look at this past year alone:
The Department of Justice, after a three-year investigation, release a report that said Arpaio runs the most discriminatory and corrupt Sheriff's Office in U.S. history. Arpaio recently responded in a letter to the Feds that he will "cooperate" with the DOJ to turn his agency around, but in the same sentence he said "cooperation is a two-way street." We know what that means: I'll cooperate on my terms, kinda like Boehner's version of compromise. ..................(more)
