Gregory Kane: Sheriff Dupnik doesn’t have a clue

Published January 17, 2011 5:00am ET



It just gets better and better with Sheriff Clarence Dupnik of Pima County, Ariz., doesn’t it? The city of Tucson is in Pima County. Friends and relatives of the victims of the Jan. 8 shootings that left six dead and at least 14 wounded should regret that Dupnik is their sheriff. After the shootings, Dupnik — a Democrat who reportedly is also a Rachel Maddow fan — tried to blame, not the suspect Jared Loughner, but conservative radio and TV talk show hosts, a climate of “hatred” and “vitriol,” and all those “bigoted” Arizonans outside of that oasis of tolerance and enlightenment known as Pima County.
