Wearing flip-flops, grass skirts and Hawaiian leis, with surfboards in tow and the pungent odor of sunscreen trailing behind them, around 15-to-20 members of Citizens for a Better Arizona stormed the 19th Floor of Phoenix's Wells Fargo Building this afternoon, briefly taking over the entranceway to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's tony executive offices.

The group's gripe? The fact that Sheriff Joe had dispatched one of his deputies to Hawaii as security for Mike Zullo, a top doofus from Arpaio's "cold case posse," who's still "investigating" crackpot claims that President Barack Obama's birth certificate is a phony ...

Arpaio has repeatedly told the press that this birther farce won't cost the taxpayers dime one, though we now know that the bill for the birther investigation so far is $40,000. Even if that dough comes from posse funds, the deputy Arpaio sent to Hawaii is on the clock, and Arpaio's office picked up the tab for Zullo and the deputy's trip ...

"He's not running a private corporation," Parraz said at one point, referring to Arpaio. "He should send us <to Hawaii>. We're all qualified to go to Hawaii and do nothing." ...

1. The sheriff should payback the money out of his own personal funds. I don't understand

why the governor didn't stop this nonsense. If I were voters of that state I'd be hounding the governor for him to pay the money back..

2. The governor didn't stop this nonsense because she is a racist who agrees with Sheriff Joe.

She signed SB 1070.

And who can forget this lovely photo?

3. She looks like a drunken fool. I will never step foot in AZ.

4. When I see that picture, I just wish someone would punch her.

I can't punch her because I don't hit women, but if someone did, I wouldn't complain.

5. I wish Michelle would've been there

to slap the taste out of her mouth
