With his legal fees mounting and a trial turning increasingly personal, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is turning to the public for money and the legal system for a new judge.
Arpaio said in a letter to supporters that he doesn't have the money to continue paying for attorneys out of his own pocket, adding that he feels "targeted" by the immigration rights groups that have sued him to stop what they say are racist policies targeting Latinos.
"In some instances I have to personally pay for attorneys to represent me in these cases," Arpaio wrote in an email Thursday. "I do not have the personal wealth or the wherewithal to keep up with the costly demands of paying for attorneys to defend me."
Arpaio made the plea while awaiting a decision by U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow on whether the sheriff broke the law in failing to carry out a 2011 court order to refrain from bias against minorities.
Gee what a shame.
Well I am sure that there are plenty of racists in the country who will be more than willing to send Arpaio some money.
Maybe he can get a loan from his friend Sarah Palin?
Worth a shot.
No surprise, just another republican taker looking for a handout from the "Big Bad GovminT".
ReplyDeleteMan, do these guys have big cajones!
Delete$carah could raffle off the pink panties he gave to her and Taaahhhd. It might make more $$$ than the dumbass hockey stick, the Bibi tees and the ISIS bumper stickers. Did the non-wedding celebration get rained on?
ReplyDeleteWell Gee Wizzz Sheruff Joe...
ReplyDeleteIf your bad behavior is costing you money maybe you should reevaluate your behavior...
You do realize that "Racism" is illegal and you are sworn to uphold the law....
This evil man will end up rich by keeping the donations after his lawyers are paid off.
ReplyDeleteUhh…. NO..
ReplyDeleteAND, FU** YOU JOJO !!!
That photo of Mrs. Palin always amuses me, her transparent phony self on full display, her earnest love of country, her shining patriotism. What a wretched fucking whack job she is.
ReplyDeleteShe oversells the patriotism when she clearly hates the US, its people and the civil evolution it has undergone just in the past 8 years.
DeletePobrecito Joe! Us regular folk have to pay for our blunders, why can't you?
ReplyDeleteAnd when your hand in on your heart
ReplyDeleteYou're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
Good fun with a handgun
You're nearly a laugh...
You're nearly a laugh but you're really a cry

"Pigs" (how appropriate!) from "Animals", one of my all-time favourite albums!!
DeleteI LOVE you for quoting that song so much.
DeleteI got in a little trouble back in the day for writing down the lyrics and giving them to the fascist dictator AKA the principal of my middle school.

Randall - my favourite verse from "Pigs" that pertains to $arah - "You fucked-up old hag, ha-ha, charade you are"!!
DeleteMaricopa county tax payers have already paid out millions to settle lawsuits stemming from Arpaio's behavior over the course of his tenure. It's been the Republican hospice communities like Sun City that have kept him propped up. And they'll come to his aid again - 'cause he's their hero who knows how Sherrifin' oughta be done.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, Arpaio has cost MC taxpayers over $50 million and he still has the f'ing nerve to ask for more $$ from them. Too bad he revealed recently that when the trial started, the money was pouring in from his fan club. Maybe some of them aren't quite as stupid as originally thought if his sources are drying up.
DeleteHey, Joe! You ass wipe, you should have considered the consequences of your despicable, racist & illegal behavior and then you wouldn't have to worry about legal fees. As it is, guess it sucks to be you!
Don't hold your breath, Joe.
ReplyDeleteSUCK IT UP ASSHOLE, PAY THE MAN YOURSELF just like all the poor you have illegally plunged in to debt.
ReplyDeleteSo, has he started a gofundme account? Seems like that's what these assholes do when they want more money.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't happen to a more deserving guy.
ReplyDeleteMaybe his good buddy Sarah Palin can send him a few stamps.
Taxpayers ripped off due due @$$hole Joe's misdeeds!
ReplyDeleteArpaio racial profiling has cost taxpayers $51 million

He wants the public to help? Why, that is socialist!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea! Grift off the public. Now where did he come up with that one? Wonder how much "postage" he got from Sarah? Huckabee, Koch, Etc etc?
ReplyDeleteGotta give him high props, he takes good care of his toupee, much better than Sarah does.
SHERIFF JOE, did nothing wrong. if a policemen pulls someone over. they ask for ids.if that person does not have the right ids. then it they have the right to take them in.if they check and that person has a warrent the go to jail [right] so then whats wrong if they're here illegaly to send them back to mexico....... bet same people who are aginst SHERIFF JOE voted from obama
