Another Take On Sheriff Dupnik And His Gum-Flappin’
Allahpundit at Hot Air nails this one.
Rant. Of. The. Year.
“As annoyed as you are at this tool for being a ludicrous political hack and a disgrace to his office, please do understand that he’s inadvertently a huge asset to conservatives. Just watch him answer Diane Sawyer’s question about whether it’s appropriate for an investigator to tie his pet theories about talk radio to this case without any evidence. Answer: ‘Well, that’s my opinion. People can have their own opinions.’ We’re talking about a horrific murder spree here, an international news event, with political tensions between left and right terribly inflamed because of it, and the lead fact-finder on the case is yakking to broadcast news about Rush Limbaugh because ‘that’s my opinion.’ Naturally that’ll make him an instant hero to the left, but I can’t believe there’s a cop anywhere who won’t watch this and cringe all the way through. I’m also trying to imagine the reaction in the county D.A.’s office as this imbecile does his level best to prejudice the trial they’re eventually going to have to conduct. But then, what does a conviction of a mass murderer matter when Diane Sawyer’s sticking a mic in your face?”
“The Dupe” may have other problems. It seems, Loughner’s mother (Democrat) worked for the Tucson City Administration. And, over the years, numerous reports were made to the Sheriffs office of violent threats Loughner made. The Sheriff may be liable in both criminal and civil suits to come, if it can be proven that he let Loughner off the hook due to relationships.
I can’t imagine even our own singing sheriff Willie Graves being as irresponsible an unprofessional as this guy. This will come back to bite him in the ass. Remember Sheriff Moose or DA Nifong…. yep
