Time for Dems to throw in the towel on crAZy

The Arizona Democratic Party has a web site with really bad photos of Arizona Republican elected officials. The site distorts many of the issues and takes swipes at Republicans on a personal level. Now that Representative Mark DeSimone has been arrested for wife-beating we see that the Democrats are no better or sometimes worse than the people they are attacking. It would elevate the level of political discourse in Arizona if the Democratic Party would remove their crAZy web site from the internet. Of course they can choose to leave it up but in the wake of DeSimone’s arrest for slapping around his wife in front of at least one of the children what is the point?

A short call to Representative DeSimone’s office resulted in a “I have no information on that” reply to the question of any plans to resign.

Rio Dinero update

We are working on a developing story that materials were dropped off this morning for the Tucson City Mayor and Council with recordings that show either corrupt practices on the part of the city managers office or at least behavior of a very questionable nature.

We will have more as details become available.

Update: Sources tell us that one of the audio tapes has a conversation of Assistant to City Manager Jaret Barr bragging about using a “straw man” to order the appraisal on the Hotel Arizona. Very interesting.
