the birthers told us that Sheriff Joe will be riding in on a white stallion to save the day, yet off in the distance we see Sheriff Joe and he is riding in on a burro, another OMG moment bites the dust!

Quote:
Joe Arpaio: Birther Investigation Is 'A Favor' To Obama

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was rebuked in December by the Justice Department for alleged civil rights violations, said on Tuesday that he will release his findings on President Barack Obama's birth certificate on March 1.

Arpaio further implied that the president should be thanking him for looking into whether his Hawaii birth certificate is a fake.

"When I took this mission on, I took it on to possibly be able to clear the president," Apraio said during a speech in Maricopa County, where he serves as sheriff. "I was doing him a favor. We'll see what happens."

He didn't give any hints as to what his birther "Cold Case posse" had found, but insisted his press conference was not driven by a desire to gain media attention. "I don't have press conferences just to get my name on television," he said. =)) (Granted, he gets his name on TV plenty as it is, particularly for mishandling immigration enforcement authority until his office was banned from a federal partnership program.)

I doubt Obama gives a rat's ass what Joe does or doesn't do to get votes for his next election, as long as it's legal, and certainly doesn't care whether Joe "investigates" his BC as to whether it's "fake" or not, as the answer is a given.

But thank him for it? Highly doubtful, asshole.

And c'mon, Joe, quit lying. The only reason you ever give a press conference is for publicity.

Joe is gonna waffle on this.

He will release inconclusive results with enough questions to keep the Birfers on the edge of their seats.

Yep, that's what I expect him to do. He'll let some suspicions hang out and say more investigation is needed but it's beyond his jurisdiction.

Silly me. I always thought that that the best investigators began every investigation with an open mind. Shows what I know.

Joe's gonna say, "a few things look suspicious; we didn't get access to the LFBC or microfiche; Obama didn't return our calls; it's gonna take at least until December."

Joe's got a big war chest, but the people of Maricopa County have never had so much incentive and momentum in our attempts to vote him out.

There's a formidable challenger, a huge grass-roots movement, the federal investigation, the botched sex-crimes cases, and a dirty laundry list 20 years in the making. I don't see Joe taking any chances by alienating any faction of his teabagger base - at least until after the election.

After all, what other group of fucking morons would suspend their any-day-now hope for another 9 months or so, while still sending money to who-knows-where?

He has no choice. He IS going to alienate the birthers. It's already happening.

If he doesn't want to alienate the birthers, he has to issue an arrest warrant for the President of the United States, and he has to tell them that if President Obama visits Maricopa County again -- which he surely will -- then Sheriff Joe will arrest him.

ANYTHING less than that, and the birthers are going to be PISSED. They're not going to accept dog whistles this time. They want people going to prison, starting with the Big Guy.

I think I posted a tweet from Zeke Miller yesterday. here's his post:

BuzzFeed:


“America's Toughest Sheriff” To Reveal Result Of Obama Birth Certificate Investigation

Arpaio says he will announce what he has “discovered” on March 1st. Says he briefed Santorum on his “investigation.” posted Feb 21, 2012 3:07pm EST

Quote:
[snip]

"We'll be having a press conference on March 1st to announce the result of the investigation," Arpaio said, saying it was conducted in an unbiased manner. "We might possibly clear the president, but you'll have to see on March 1st.," he added.

Arpaio brushed off criticism for keeping the "birther" speculation alive. "I take my job as elected sheriff seriously, and listen to what the people want me to do," he said.

[snip]

He announced that he met with Rick Santorum for 20 minutes before his speech to the group, and told reporters afterward that he briefed him on the Obama investigation, "as a matter of fairness in case he wouldn't want me to support him."

Doc pointed me to this post at CNN:


Quote:
Santorum, he said, seemed to have no problem with the nature of his investigation.

"He had no problems with what I told him that I may be doing," Arpaio told reporters.


http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/20 ... stigation/

Doc sez:

Quote:
Now it appears that Arpaio has briefed presidential candidate Rick Santorum about his investigation “as a matter of fairness in case he wouldn’t want me to support him." Only Arpaio isn’t saying that he will throw his support behind Santorum, and further Arpaio is not going to say who he is endorsing until after the March 1 press conference which is after the Republican Presidential Primary. And if Arpaio is providing a service to the people of Arizona, why is he telling Santorum instead of his fellow Arizonans?

It's a puzzle. :P

Wait a minute, should he brief ALL the candidates? You can't do for one and not the others.

"Psssst - Rick - there's nothing to this Obama birth certificate thingy, just doing my part (chuckle) in the name of the party. I'll stretch this thing out as far as I can...!"

"Sheriff Joe, it's obvious God wants you to stop the illegals. He also wants us to get Obama. Keep up the good work!"

Maybe Santorum heard what the Sheruff was going to say and said to him "I have enough on my plate dealing with my own loony statements"

While we all knew how buddy-buddy WND was being with Arpaio, I was still holding out a little hope that Arpaio might surprise us with a relatively honest report.

I'm suddenly finding that less likely:

WND-TV to Live-Stream Arpaio Eligibility Report

And that's not all:

Quote:
In addition, WND will make available to the public, the same day by e-mail, the official report distributed to media by Arpaio’s “Cold Case Posse.” Those interested in receiving the report can sign up for the free service between now and the March 1 press conference.


While it would hilarious if WND ran an live broadcast of Arpaio saying "Obama sure looks eligible to us," I can't imagine that WND would be committing to this sort of action with KNOWING what Arpaio plans to say. Remember, WND not only didn't run a live broadcast of the Atlanta hearing, they didn't even bother to send a reporter to cover it. But they're already promising to send out Arpaio's report as a mass e-mail on the day of the press conference?

I look forward to seeing if Arpaio's "investigation" managed to turn up any "facts" that hadn't already been repeated by Corsi and WND elsewhere.

Arpaio will do a classic CYA. "We're not exactly sure of the President's eligibility. We need to look at the original LFBC to be certain no fraud has been committed."

I could see Corsi and the 'Stache pumping this up, (Vat?)televising it, knowing in advance that it will be anti-climactic. After all, it wouldn't be their first time.

They'll just make up some reason that it's a huge victory.
