The Arizona Republic finally gets something right

The Arizona Republic has this editorial about the tempest in a teapot dispute between Joe "Dime bag" Arpaio, Andrew "The Douche" Thomas and Terry Goddard. They pretty much get the whole thing exactly right. Here is my favorite quote:

There simply is too much political baggage between Goddard and Thomas to pretend that Thomas' pursuit of Goddard on "bribery" charges is free of politics. Goddard, a Democrat, defeated Thomas, a Republican, in 2002 for the attorney general position. Both are considered candidates for the Governor's Office in 2010.

It is time to move this investigation to more objective arena. We should quit pretending that Arpaia and Thomas are capable of being unbiased. Just as a side note, I find it interesting that Andy Thomas is letting his political career be damaged by Arpaio. It seems that anyone that gets into bed with Arpaio comes out of the relationship worse off than they started (except maybe Janet). I cannot imagine an politician trusting Arpaio. He is so self-serving and self-centered that he does not care what damage might be done as long as it serves his purpose.
