Newsmax tracked down Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to get his take on the Tucson tragedy, and as you can imagine, he had some stern words for the way Sheriff Dipstick has been politicizing the case:
“I think we have to very careful about what we say, especially law enforcement officials or government officials. I think right now I think we ought to shut our mouth and let the justice system take its course.”
Video at Newsmax.
What I’m sure Arpaio didn’t know at the time, is that the President actually called Dupnik today, to thank him for the great work he’s been doing down there.
As Ace says:
Thus underscoring a tactic of Obama’s which is all too well-known by now: Speaking loftily and assuming the false image as above petty politics while encouraging his supporters to stick the knife into every warm body around.
Just when you thought you couldn’t be any more disgusted by all this…

I love SherrifArpiao ! I would hate to be in his tent city and know women who have been in…they Don’t want to go back but they like him also. I would listen to the man…he does’t speak unless he knows what he is talking about….
