Maricopa: the New Gitmo

sheriffarpaioprisonerspinkshirts-300x214Sheriff Joe Arpaio: Close Gitmo, I’ll Take ‘em!

by Gary Graham

THIS JUST IN: In a surprise move today, the outspoken and controversial Sheriff of Maricopa County,  Arizona, stated that he’d be happy to take the inmates of Gitmo and provide for them “appropriate and hospitable accommodations.” When questioned in a press conference what those ‘appropriate’ accommodations would entail, the spirited Sheriff was quoted as saying, “Oh, you’ll find out. Our recidivism rate here is nearly zero. For some reason inmates, when released, are not too keen on coming back.”

Asked if the detainees would receive just and humane treatment, the Sheriff smiled and said, “Certainly. They are ‘humans’ and will be treated as such…and that’s ‘just’ the way it is.”

It’s satire, to be sure, but these days the line between satire and reality has become angstrom-thin and will remain so as long as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid remain in the House and Senate.

Gary Graham is one of the few brave Hollywood souls emerging from the conservative closet in La-La land these days. I can’t recall ever seeing him in any motion pictures or on television, but I am sure that he is a working actor - or, at least, used to be a working actor.

  1. Sheriff Joe Arpaio, of Maricopa County, Arizona is the biggest bad-assed steel spined person to come along in YEARS!!

    DOES ANYONE REALIZE THAT HE DOESN’T EVEN RUN FOR OFFICE ANYMORE, but he keeps getting elected because of write-ins?

    At least that is what a good friend of his told me. I have the book on his story (but haven’t read it through).

    *Note to self, I better let Grue chime in here*

    This potential showdown between John Twit-Ass-Whooped McCain and Sheriff Arpaio, I would pay to watch with front row seats let me tell you!!

    Popcorn is on me if this show happens, and please wake me up if I am asleep!!

    Nah, he still runs. But he wins by landslides. It’s funny, the guy he was running against in ‘08 was one of his former deputies. Can’t remember any of the other guy’s talking points other than his tagline was “American Lawman” and he was partnered with someone running for a County Court Judge position whose signs were mimics of “children crossing” signs with the subtext “Open borders for the future” or some such nonsense.

    That’s quite literally all I remember of either. Joe’s signs didn’t have any catchy slogans or anything. They didn’t need ‘em.

    As I told Manly, IF ONLY. This would certainly solve many of our problems. Come to think of it, more Joes all around would solve a lot of problems.

    Can’t see him running for any higher position like many of the commentors on BH suggest, though. Just can’t see him in any position except sheriff.

  3. That is so stupid. They don’t need to come to our Country. Did you all hear that The One had a interview on Arab TV today? This is getting pretty scary. Sheriff Joe is a great man.

  4. Sheriff Joe is great. But we don’t need those wastes of oxygen in a prison in our country. We have enough of our own scum in our prisons.

  5. Oh, sigh, I (heart)the sheriff, but the second these scumbags set foot on American soil, we’re toast. Keep. Them. Out. We don’t need to give this whale doo-doo any, any of the rights they would enjoy under our Constitution. The second they cross into our Country, they would have cover that should make us all cringe…oh so scary stuff! Close Gitmo? Fine and dandy. but put em’ on Mars!

  7. If we’d shoot these non-Geneva-respecting rugdolls on location we wouldn’t have to worry about them. No uniform, no Geneva, no rights.

    Sheebe, it is more than scary my friend. Please slap me ‘cuz I truly, truly keep thinking I’m dreaming when I hear this Ass Clown (As my twenty-something kids call him) saying(Still!!!!) that he thinks it is prudent to negotiate with terrorist states. Oh, I am soooo very frightened. Am praying very hard.

    The combination of the leaders of the House, Senate, and the President are reality satire.
