I like to think of him as Sheriff J.W. Pepper Buford T Justice from the Bond films Smokey and the Bandit.

haha yes! That's funny, when I first thought of the sheriff in Bond, I thought the name was Buford T. Justice (definitely my fave fat sheriff name) but I looked it up and found it was Pepper

IIRC Buford T. Justice was the shurf from Smokey and the Bandit.

Looks like any possibility of Corsi's fist puppet Joe getting someone to try and mock up a "criminal" case against the president just took a serious hit.

In a Phoenix courtroom filled with fellow lawyers and some of his biggest critics on Tuesday, the former Arizona prosecutor who served for years as Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s right-hand man was stripped of his license to practice law.

During the next year or so, Thomas and Arpaio announced criminal investigations against at least 14 officials, including all five members of the Board of Supervisors, four judges, the county’s top two appointed officials, a high-ranking attorney for the county and two private lawyers.

Thomas and Arpaio filed a major lawsuit against the group, accusing them of corruption and racketeering. Thomas also charged three of them with crimes, warning charges may be coming for the rest. “No one is above the law,” he said at the time.

Soon, however, the cases began to crumble. In some instances, the evidence that was promised by Thomas and Arpaio never materialized.

Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas this afternoon struggled to explain his decision to charge the county's presiding criminal court judge, Gary Donahoe, with three felony counts --bribery, obstructing a criminal investigation, and hindering prosecution.

But Thomas couldn't offer any evidence to the assembled media scrum that Donahoe actually had accepted a bribe of any sort. Instead, he and Sheriff Joe Arpaio (who stood next to Thomas at the lectern) offered the same vague allegations they have made for nearly a year regarding the county's planned court tower, currently under construction.

In fact, the county attorney said no evidence exists that the veteran judge personally has received anything in the way of a personal financial benefit during the flap over the $347 million construction project.

Joe Arpaio's "Birther" Friends Quiz Arizona Politicos on Obama Eligibility, Nobody Cares

It looks like sympathizers to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's "birther" movement are still looking for politicians to support the Obama's-from-Africa conspiracy theory, and it's still not working.

That's really not all that surprising, but the way Arizona politicians are issuing their awkward responses to "birther" inquiries makes you wonder why anyone would want to let people know that these exchanges ever happened.

You're really not supposed to call constituents crackpots in response to their questions, so people like Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl are being tactful in their responses to whether unicorns are real the president was born in Africa and brought over to the United States in anticipation of his presidency a few decades down the road.

This series of awkward interviews and letters is brought to you by the "Western Journalism Center," the parent of World Net Daily -- the same World Net Daily that was soliciting donations to Arpaio's "birther" fund, and the same World Net Daily that Arpaio comrade Jerome Corsi calls home.

...

Of course, like the other players in Arpaio's "birther" brigade, Ballantyne has a book to sell you, which makes Arpaio look more like a book fair manager than a person who's overseeing an alleged "investigation."

Now it comes to light through a knowledgable and impeckable source for The Obama Hustle that the Cold Case Posse led by Mike Zullo has difinitve proof that Malcom X is Barack Obama’s natural father?

The Obama Hustle source said, ”Zullo told me they had evidence to that fact”.

The Obama Hustle reports:



The 'impeckable' source continues in the now all too familiar way...

The Obama Hustle reports:

pffffft... with proof that Malcolm X is Obamadaddy, that's proof that the BC is fake/forged.

easy/peasy

Ahhhhh but the Putz says it wouldn't count as the BC would then be wholly perfect and legitimate and binding and means that this pesky fact still means the dark democrat in the White House is still disqualified.....or something.....my head hurts....

I think a birther tried to explain it away by saying that despite him bieng Malcolm X/whoever's child, his Mothers marraige to Obama Sr is what legally counts and what legally invalidades him from bieng an NBC.

Justice Department To Sue Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio Over Civil Rights Abuses


The Justice Department has given up on settling with Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and is planning to sue the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for systematic civil rights abuses of Hispanic residents, a DOJ official indicated in a terse letter to Arpaio’s lawyer on Wednesday.

“It is clear that DOJ’s concerted effort to attain voluntary compliance by your client has failed,” Deputy Assistant Attorney General Roy Austin of DOJ’s Civil Rights Division wrote in a letter to Arpaio lawyer Joseph Popolizio obtained by TPM.

“It is also clear that we should not discuss anything else by telephone because you will not accurately portray those conversations,” Austin wrote.

I always love how birthers decide on and off what to selectively consider as true, or legal, or whatnot.

The birth certificate is forged - but Malcolm X was the President's father, but that might make him NBC, but the birth certificate says otherwise, so he's still ineligible, because of the birth certificate, except that they already stated that said document is forged, and if that's the case, it doesn't certify anything.

My head, it hurts.

Hmmmm. Anyone see a tie-in between today's announcement and the disbarment of Arpaio's ex "posse" members in the same week? Wonder if the lawyers will turn into snitches. Very interesting development.
