Authorities in Flagstaff discovered a package with a rudimentary explosive device addressed to Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and the Sheriff pulled out all the stops for this one.

Trump up reality? Check. Play the victim? Check. Blame Mexican drug cartels, try to associate the incident with unrelated murders for all the drooling reporters to lap up, while leaving New Times out of it? Check.

Oh, boy, you know things are bad for publicity-hound Sheriff Joe Arpaio when he's not even well enough to appear on television.

The public-relations team for the self-proclaimed "toughest" sheriff in America sent out a memo to media this morning, and it kind of reads like one of those melancholy Christmas cards that folks send out to members of their extended family.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed "toughest" sheriff in America, has now been hospitalized for more than 24 hours with a purported broken arm.

Between the super-weird videos of the 80-year-old sheriff in his hospital bed and the fact that he stayed in that hospital overnight for a broken arm, it sounds like he's totally fine.

There's something that's just so priceless about Sheriff Joe Arpaio having to thank the Mexican authorities for helping return an inmate who escaped from one of his jails months ago.

From his general immigration-enforcement policies and the multiple racial-profiling lawsuits against him to specific comments, like the time he urged a boycott of Mexico or when he referred to Mexican migrants as "dirty" -- it's just damn priceless.

Joe Arpaio's School-Patrol Posse Gets a Glowing Review From the NRA

Sheriff Joe Arpaio
While the National Rifle Association has proposed putting an armed guard inside every American school, the lobbying organization's "news" arm ran a gushing endorsement of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's school-patrol posse, which puts an armed guard in zero schools.

The public-relations piece for Arpaio aired on the TV show "NRA News Cam & Co" -- which can be found on the Sportsman Channel -- and it portrays the Sheriff as a guy who's doing something about gun-violence at schools.
