Over the weekend, Sarah Palin and John McCain threw modesty out the window and cracked open the Ann Coulter playbook for the home stretch of the election.
What, exactly, is the Ann Coulter playbook? Dressing up like a hero, superficially insulting your adversary, and stoking the very worst impulses of your already simple-minded audience. Recently, that meant having Sheriff Mike Scott from Lee County in Florida dress up in his shiniest police attire to introduce Sarah Palin, only not actually introduce her so much as imply that Barack Obama’s middle name (Hussein), is a reason to hate him.
There is video out there, but I’m not going to do the little twerp the favor of even more publicity. Just know that it is illegal to use your position as a cop to influence or endorse a political candidate. It’s call the Hatch Act, and the sherriff Scott is under federal invesitagtion for violating it:
Officials with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel say they have received so many phone calls from the public that they launched an investigation into Sheriff Scott on Tuesday.
The question is – did he use his position as sheriff to influence an election?
Well, lets see. He dressed up in his finest police outfit, and if he wasn’t a sheriff, he wouldn’t have been there to introduce Sarah the Culture Warrior. Something tells me he’s going to be a lot angrier at ‘libruls’ very soon.
