Maricopa County's top lawman is known for his tent cities where he feeds jail inmates spoiled lunchmeat and makes them watch Newt Gingrich speeches. Now Arpaio's office is under a federal investigation because of its pattern of racial profiling (hence the racism icon from this blog's key).
When public officials are having their offices investigated, you'd think they'd cooperate unless they had something to hide. Naturally, the Republican sheriff is refusing to cooperate. He cries that the whole probe is politically motivated.
So not only is Arpaio an egotist. He's a malcontent as well.
Arpaio's office is being represented by attorney Robert Driscoll - who was deputy assistant attorney general under John Ashcroft. Ironically, he was in charge of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
Talk about a revolving door of GOP incompetence!
