Sheriff Joe Arpaio

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.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio

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

Sheriff Joe Arpaio

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

By Monica Alonzo Fri., Mar. 1 2013 at 2:47 PM

Categories: Another Stupid-Sheriff Story

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu is at it again -- trying to gin up fear about immigrants running wild and ready to "commit crimes against the citizens in our state."

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.
