Probe the gay Ariz. sheriff

PHOENIX - A Latino rights organization has asked for a federal investigation into an Arizona sheriff seeking the Republican nomination for a congressional seat who was forced to confirm he is gay amid allegations of misconduct made by a Mexican immigrant with whom he had a relationship.

The group, Respect Respeto, on Monday sent a request to the U.S. Department of Justice for a probe into Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu for abuse of power.

Babeu confirmed he is gay Saturday and resigned from presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's Arizona committee amid his ex-lover's allegations. He denied claims he tried to threaten the man, a former campaign volunteer, with deportation if their past relationship was made public.

Babeu was a rising superstar.  I hate that he was outed, especially under these circumstances.

I don't care that he was/is gay.  If he kept crime down, that's all that matters.  From what I remember, he was close to Joe Arapio (sp?) in his stance on illegal immigration.

That is the one you are thinking of.  He is a badass on immigration, and is running for political office (I can't remember which one).  I don't care he is gay either, and frankly as dire as things are, I don't think most (I know that automatically discounts him with some fundies), do either, and he could sail into office, but having to disprove these allegations are definitely a drag on him.
