Sheriff Dooncough
(my "pet name" for this dingbat)
Rush: "Megyn Kelly confronted him on Sunday, a lot of others have; and asked to back up his accusations, and having failed to do so, you would think that he would be quiet and get back to the facts of the case. But he isn't. He's standing by it, and he's being praised in the media for standing by it! He's being praised in the media for not backing down. Can you imagine me or Palin being praised for not backing down on anything? No, we're ridiculed for it. This guy is being praised for not backing down, despite having no evidence whatsoever. Now, this is a degree of vanity that is not healthy in law enforcement. It would be trivial if he were an ordinary citizen, but he's not. He has a badge.
Sheriff Dupnik has a badge and a gun and the power to enforce or not enforce the law as he sees fit, and he's proven over the last four days that facts don't mean anything to him, or very little to him. You'd have to think that throughout the state of Arizona and elsewhere serious law enforcement people are cringing over the way he is engaging in this. I mean, he's undermining law enforcement's ability to really investigate and prosecute this case. He is influencing the jury pool, potentially, with his endless media appearances and intemperate remarks. He's handing sound bites to defense counsel to use in an insanity defense. He's displaying a reckless, unbalanced nature that poisons entire investigative prosecutorial process here -- and all the while being praised!"
