Do these Jackboots Make me Look Tough on Immigration?

Ah, it seems like only yesterday that TX Governor Rick Perry was under fire for referring to other Republicans as "heartless" for their hard-line positions on immigration.  And yet as of yesterday, he's named Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio as his campaign's chairperson in AZ.

Now, Sheriff Joe might be a little busy, what with running for his sixth term in this position (even if it sometimes seems like he's not all that great at the job, actually) but I don't really think he's going to have to do much for the candidate, anyway, except look tough. He looks tough, doesn't he?

Well, there you go.
