Thomas Watch: Petite Bush de Maricopa

I guess it just goes to show that just like kids emulate their parents behavior, local political officials mimic the behavior of national officials. Andrew "the douche" Thomas is being secretive about his use of tax-payer funds to pay for a pamphlet (aka - campaign flyer). The Arizona Republic is reporting that he is refusing to tell anyone how much it costs.

I find it amazing that a public official who is supposed to enforce the laws can be this dense. I understand he wants to be reelected, but does he really think these billboards and pamphlets will help? He probably could have cruised to victory if would stop being such a nut. When did the Republican Party become the party of absconding with tax-payers funds for campaigning and secrecy? I thought you guys learned your lesson after Nixon.

Frankly, I find the authoritarian impulse of the modern Republican Party a little scary.

Sadly, he will probably cruise to victory anyway.
