Good analysis and two important points. Thanks to all on this thread for the interesting read.
Still disgusted in the general lack of support for Sheriff Joe from the GOP and other leading RW opinion makers.
Sheriff Joe needs a lot more support.
Certainly Arpaio could use more support. But think about it. Obama’s (in)Justice Dept. has declared all out war on the state of AZ, and what do you hear from the GOP? Crickets. If these corrupt jerks won't even stand up for an American state under assault, they sure as he!! will not stick their necks out for Arpaio. Why, the MSM just might call them racists! You don't expect them to risk that, do you?
Fortunately Arpaio has something a lot better than the support of the DC Ruling Class. He's got Mike Zullo. Given the choice, I'd take Zullo any time. MZ is a consummate professional and a dogged investigator. If I were Obama, I would NOT want Zullo delving into my past. My $ is on MZ to produce a smoking gun that at least some in the MSM won't be able to wholly ignore indefinitely. Time will tell.
