For Joe, Pink Is The New Black

Joe Arpaio, former sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, was found guilty yesterday of criminal contempt for willfully violating a 2011 federal order to stop his illegal dentention of law-abiding undocumented Hispanics.  Sheriff Joe, self-described as the "America's Toughest Sheriff," is infamous for his racist round-ups of brown people, whom he detained indefinitely in his now-closed outdoor Tent City jail, where daytime temperatures typically exceeded 100 degrees, and prisoners were forced to wear pink underwear.

Now 85 and finally voted out of office, Arpaio made a career of contemptuous disregard for human rights and for the law itself.  He's a certified, genuine, Grade-A asshole.  If there's any true justice, he'll do hard time in a hot desert tent, wearing a pink prison jumpsuit, and paying $100 a day to eat nothing but scraps from a taco truck.
