Sheriff Joe Arpaio is everything as advertised and more. It was very generous of him to come out from Phoenix to headline the fundraising event for OC Sheriff candidate Bill Hunt. Here's a flavor of what it was like... So I'm pulling into the parking lot before the event and sure enough there are lots of protesters and media outside the Phoenix Club.
