OT: Carona Takes Another Bribe
Not that I get too excited about local politics, but it's now perfectly apparent that Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona needs to be fired posthaste. According to today's Register, Carona is accepting the free services of Brian Sun and John Cline, two attorneys who successfully defended high-profile clients (in Cline's case, Scooter Libby and Oliver North). That this presents a huge potential conflict of interest seems to have escaped Carona (what happens if one of his defenders' other clients runs afoul of the county sheriff, i.e., the Don Haidl problem), which makes the federal charges against him all the more plausible. Luckily, local activist Shirley Grindle has filed a complaint (PDF) that the services violate a state statute forbidding gifts of more than "about $396" (in her words). Go her.
