Egotistical right-wing sheriff gets his own TV show

I've usually enjoyed the TV series 'Cops' ever since I was in high school, except when they do those preposterous drug warrior segments. But this is patently ridiculous.

I've mentioned Phoenix-area Sheriff Joe Arpaio before. He's the egotist who has boasted for years about feeding jail inmates spoiled bologna. Many of Arpaio's so-called crime-fighting techniques (some of which involve racial profiling) have been ineffective.

But now Fox is actually giving Arpaio his own reality TV show, titled 'Smile, You're Under Arrest'. And a lot of folks aren't smiling.

A network website describes Arpaio's show as a "high-energy prank show" in which real suspects with warrants are arrested in "elaborate comical stings."

But Joe Arpaio's not such a funny guy, as his misrule has seriously harmed individuals and cost taxpayers dearly.
