#366 SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO
MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF IN ARIZONA
Sheriff Joe has been in the annals of GOP Cocksuckerdom for some time.
Not only is he violently anti-immigrant but Sheriff Joe really likes that
"America's Toughest Sheriff' moniker. He takes it very seriously, doing a
lot of public stunts like roundups of illegal immigrants that don't
necessarily help catch violent criminals but get his name out there.
Arpaio also looks upon himself as something of THE authority in
Maricopa County and he doesn't like it very much when that gets
gainsaid, like it did late in 2009, when Maricopa County Supervisor Don
Stapley put auditors in Arpaio's office to monitor spending.
Not only did Stapley do that but he cut into Maricopa County Prosecutor Andrew Thomas' habit of wanting outside attorneys to do county work--outside attorneys that were his political backers. Thomas happens to be a fellowtraveler of #366.
Enraged, Arpaio tried humiliating Stapley by first arresting him in a parking garage in 2008 and charging him with over 118 felony and misdemeanor counts, most of them dealing with charges that Stapley did not include required information on his financial-disclosure forms. That case collapsed when it turned out there was no such law. No prosecutor would take the case.
Thomas wouldn't let that stop him, he went to a Washington D.C. power-lawyer couple, Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing, who were ubiquitous during the Monica Lewinski Scandal of the late 1990's. The pair cost $295 an hour for out-of-court fees, and $475 an hour for in-court fees. This threat didn't work either, as the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors told Thomas in a letter that it was denying
permission to hire the pair.
Black with fury, Arpaio, who has a reputation for retaliating against people he believes to be his enemies, startled everyone by promptly arresting Stapley AGAIN, this tine in court while he was waiting for the charges from the first case to be dismissed. No outcome on that case has been reported but what HAS been reported is that the FBI is now investigating Arpaio for using his office to conduct vendettas against people who criticize him; more than two dozen complaints, so far. In fact, Stapley's lawyer, Paul Charlton, compared Arpaio's modus operandi to that of an Eastern European dictator who dealt with dissent by have the outspoken shot as a lesson to the others.
Unable to do ANYTHING about the FBI, Arpaio instead focused on Superior Court Judge Gary Donahoe. Donahoe made several rulings that Arpaio simply didn't like and Arpaio and Thomas charged him with bribery. Thomas even admitted that there was no evidence of bribery against Donahoe.
Arpaio announced he would cooperate with a Department of Justice probe into his behavior but he's done that before
Last month, (March 2010) Arpaio withdrew a lawsuit he'd filed against Maricopa County supervisors, county judges, and their lawyers, in which he screamed that all of them conspired to thwart a sheriff's office probe into the construction of a new court tower. Arpaio HATES the tower and has opposed it for years.

Wow! GOP Cocksucker #54 Might ACTUALLY Go To Trial Now!

Pedophile LXXIV - #365
#364 STATE REP KEVIN GARN
FORMER MEMBER OF THE UTAH HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER
Twenty-five years ago, Garn shared a hot tub while naked with a then-15 year old girl. Garn denied there was any sexual contact but he did pay the girl $150,000 to shut up about the incident.
Garn said he would not be resigning from the Utah house a day after the incident occured and no one in the GOP demanded he quit. But the next day, Garn quit.
The Garn Scandal was the second bodyblow to hit the state GOP since the beginning of 2010. In January, Senate Majority Leader Sheldon Killpack because another of the many drunk drivers on the GOP side as he was arrested for driving under the influence. He resigned a few days later.

Tryin' To Make Our Kids As Dumb As He Is - #364
#364 DON McLEROY
EX-MEMBER OF THE TEXAS BOARD OF EDUCATION
Why is McLeroy even on this list? After all, he's a non-factor. He got his ass beat in a primary this year in a conservative district where the people were just tired of his antics and his know-nothingism. Well, because he's a crank who's done unbelievable damage while on the powerful Texas Board of Education for the past 11 years. (The TBE has a huge market for schoolbooks, so big that what IT approves is usuallly what's offered to the rest of the country.)
McLeroy loathed evolution and tried to get it expunged from textbooks, when he wasn't trying the 'equal time' scam to get 'creationism' put in the textbooks alongside evolution.
But he didn't stop there. McLeroy also tried to get some of his 'rustic' opinions on other subjects, codified into textbooks, such as:
1. Asking why kids need to learn 'crazy Chinese words,' in English textbooks during a discussion of Chinese literature. Although he did concede 'chow mein' would be useful, which isn't even a Chinese word
2. Joe McCarthy was basically vindicated by history. (No, he was not.)
3. He evaluates History textbooks by how they cover Christianity,Israel and Ronald Reagan. "He needs to get credit for saving the world from communism and for the good economy over the last twenty years because he lowered taxes. (Which were later raised by Bush The Smarter and Big Bill.)"
He has some other beauts like saying that minorities should be grateful to majorities because they voted for the Civil Rights Acts.

Another Hypocrite v. 21.0 - #363
#363 ANDRE BAUER
LT. GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA
Now that GOP Cocksucker #308 (GOV. MARK SANFORD) stands as a monument to GOP Cocksucker intransigence, the feeling among the citizens of South Carolina will just have to put up with him until he has to leave later this year due to term limits.
But no one should feel too sorry for the citizens of South Carolina because now that they are going to see the back of #308, they just might be getting #363 in his place. And outside of the adultery, #363 might be just as much of a 'gem' as #308 was.
Instead of having to put up with Sanford the Sanctimonious at the next meeting of the National Governors' Association. The governors will have to listen to bon mots from THIS fuckin' guy. Like when he compared poor kids who get free lunches to stray animals: "My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals," Bauer said during a town hall meeting. "You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person an ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't... think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better."
Never mind the fact that #363 was a poor kid who benefited from free lunches himself. He's different.

Here Come Da Drunks #26.0 AND Another Hypocrite v. 20.0!
#362 ROY ASHBURN
STATE SENATOR FOR THE CALIFORNIA 18TH.
Type I Drunk (Wrong Place, Wrong Time)
Object hit: Stopped in Time
This one has to be the most fun since GOP Cocksucker #277 (ROBERT SOMMA) the transvestite bankruptcy court judge in Massachusetts who got arrested for DUI after he rammed a pickup with his Mercedes and then had trouble getting his driver's license out of his PURSE before handing it to the investigating officer.
What makes this fun is that Ashburn voted time and time again against gay rights legislation. But on March 3, 2010, Ashburn got yanked over by a California Highway Patrol cop on suspicion of drunken driving. The suspicions were correct, Ashburn was confronted with The Breathalyzer, the bane of GOP Cocksuckers everywhere, and blew a 0.14%, substantially higher than the 0.08% limit in the state of California.
But that wasn't the fun part. The fun part was Ashburn's companion, a GUY he'd picked up at Faces, a gay nightclub in the Lavender Hill neighborhood. When asked on KERN radio if he disagreed with the gay rights legislation he voted against, Ashburn didn't answer.

Aieeee! The Muslims! - #361
#361 REP. SUE MYRICK
GOP COCKSUCKER FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA 9TH
No, it wasn't Myrick's fucking of her husband while he was still married to his first wife that has her in trouble, it's her rather rustic views on American Muslims that put a dent in her reelection numbers.
Not that that will mean Myrick will lose. The NC 9th is reliably Republican. The last time she was re-elected in 2008, she won with 63% of the vote. And that's a low for her. No. she gets to be a poster boy for GOP Cocksucker craziness.
Myrick is so scared of Muslims, she wanted the House to investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations investigated to see if it was planting spies in the Internship program. Along with four other congressman, she authored a letter to the House Sergeant-at-arms asking that he work with the House Judiciary committee, Homeland Security and the House Intelligence committee to determine if CAIR was a security threat.
CAIR immediately fired back, saying that the intership program was extensively used by many groups and said Myrick was just trying to intimidate it. Myrick was also criticized by three other Muslim-American organizations, Muslim-Republican activists, and four congressmen, one of whom was Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, the first Muslim member of Congress.
