Girlieman: Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon

Antics: Went caterwauling to Uncle Sam

Lost somewhere in the long shadow cast by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Apraio, is Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. Mayor Phil is not amused by Sheriff Joe, Sheriff Joe’s notoriety, or anything else about PIG’s favorite lawman. In fact, Mayor Phil is determined to paint a justice system bull’s-eye on Sheriff Joe because Joe Arpaio is, systematically, cleaning out those known havens where border jumping scumbags lurk:

In the past month, sheriff's deputies and trained volunteers have gone into neighborhoods with large Hispanic populations, stopping people for routine traffic violations and asking some of them about their immigration status. Dozens of illegal immigrants have been detained. ICE officials say Arpaio is not violating the formal agreement he has with their office that allows sheriff's deputies to enforce immigration laws.

Sheriff Joe’s raids must be working, because he’s pissing off all those notorious Colonista coddling groups. At the same time, he’s getting covering fire from the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials who, coincidentally, were on hand when Sheriff Joe’s deputies arrested residents and immigrants in the town of Guadalupe. Their approval stands in stark contrast to Mayor Phil’s whine to the U. S. Department of Justice:

In an April 4 letter to U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Mayor Phil Gordon asked the agency and the Justice Department's civil rights division to examine what he called discriminatory harassment and improper stops, searches, and arrests by sheriff's deputies in Maricopa County, which encompasses the metropolitan area. "Over the past few weeks, Sheriff Arpaio's actions have infringed on the civil rights of our residents," Gordon wrote. "They have put our residents' well-being, and the well-being of law enforcement officers, at risk." (Yahoo News)

Sheriff Joe is almost as unimpressed with this spineless political hack guttersnipe as we are, here in the Free State of PIG:

"I think the mayor is disconnected from the people he represents and he doesn't get the point," Arpaio said Saturday. "Now he's going to Washington to confuse the issue and try to get the public against me." The mayor "is degrading my office and my deputies by insinuating that they're violating all these civil laws. We don't profile," the sheriff said.

If Mayor Phil thinks Sheriff Joe is exceeding his authority, why doesn’t he attack him directly? Why doesn’t he use the local justice system to hang this stinker on Sheriff Joe? Why? Because Mayor Phil Gordon is a craven coward who hasn’t got the guts to fight his own battles. For lacking the BALLS to be a MAN about his battle with Sheriff Joe, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon is the Politically Incorrect Gazette’s Girlieman of the Week.
