Mayor of Phoenix is a spineless weasel
I can't stand Mayor Gordon or his brown-nosed police chief. Gordon is facing a recall, I don't know where that stands, but this is beyond pathetic. Arpaio is, by all accounts, a media whore. He loves media attention. And Gordon threatens him with more media attention? Ewww, bet Arpaio is shaking in his little shoesies.

Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon escalated his feud with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Tuesday, saying he intends to call on the national media to come to the Valley and observe the sheriff's crackdown on illegal immigration.

Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon escalated his feud with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Tuesday, saying he intends to call on the national media to come to the Valley and observe the sheriff's crackdown on illegal immigration.
Criticizing the sweeps as heavy-handed and abusive, Gordon, said he intends to call a news conference at the National Press Club here in September.
Arpaio fired back in a telephone interview from Phoenix.
"He doesn't have to call (on the media), because they're here every day," Arpaio said. "I've been on 3,000 national shows as sheriff. I had two different Dutch reporters yesterday. They come all the time. ... I don't need him to be my press agent."
Arpaio said Gordon "just wants to get some press because if he takes me on, he gets his name in the paper."
