Stephen Colbert made some pretty good jabs but Mr. Arpaio is apparently far too experienced to get tripped up by liberal or conservative zinger lines.Thane Eichenauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848580360960232789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717700.post-83859114843148430162009-04-19T23:49:00.000-07:002009-04-19T23:49:00.000-07:00Kevin - the only "Alain" that I've ever heard of i...Kevin - the only "Alain" that I've ever heard of is actor Alain Delon. Since he stayed in France, he probably can't be considered an "invader."<br /><br />Thane - I watch C-SPAN, and I'm neither old nor a fan of Arpaio's.<br /><br />OK, I'm not a fan of Arpaio's. We'll leave the discussion of age for another time. :)<br /><br />I enjoy Colbert, but partisan hack that I am, I'd rather see Arpaio face Jon Stewart. Stewart is civil, but he doesn't let go; Colbert is actually pretty gentle.<br /><br />Too gentle for Arpaio.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338682971485143332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717700.post-8250003393692967352009-04-19T20:31:00.000-07:002009-04-19T20:31:00.000-07:00Here are the options:

Apraio gets perhaps 10 spinoff articles. Most of which won't be critical enough to reduce Apraio's popularity or vote total come 2012.<br /><br />Come to think of it if I worked for Apraio I would recommend option 1 for Arpaio as everyone says the old viewers of C-Span are Apraio's base.<br /><br />Stephen Colbert is likely to do well with Arpaio. If he does well he may just manage to get Joe Arpaio to make a fool of himself. At the worst he will just go with his stock faux Bill O'Reilly and does a passable job (which compared to most TV people is pretty good).<br /><br />I sure think that Arpaio's focus on illegal immigrants (undocumented workers) is a waste or time and effort. He could try to avoid <A HREF="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2007-12-20/news/inhumanity-has-a-price/3" REL="nofollow">contributing to the death of people</A> in his jail.<br /><br />For the next three years though, all we can do is keep an eye on him and his misdeeds.Thane Eichenauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848580360960232789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717700.post-24195701928311385092009-04-19T18:42:00.000-07:002009-04-19T18:42:00.000-07:00Hey, I love The Colbert Report as much as the next...Hey, I love The Colbert Report as much as the next wiseass with more than three working braincells, but I've got to wonder where Arpaio's head is - not only is the hearing right up his professional alley, if he went, he'd get to bash <B>immigrants</B> on national T.V.That is Illegal Alain Invaders NOT immigrants<BR><BR>That is Illegal Alain Invaders NOT <B>immigrants</B>Kevin Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898592347512170749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717700.post-51197355837182097052009-04-19T18:38:00.000-07:002009-04-19T18:38:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kevin Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898592347512170749noreply@blogger.com
