helping children and fighting gangs? isn't that your job?

The OC is such a special place. The OC is where cops who intimidate witnesses are allowed to ask for reduced sentances because of their record of work helping children and fighting gangs.

wait a minute... aren't you a cop? you mean you're getting paid in exchange for helping children and fighting gangs and you would get fired if you didn't and you think that means you deserve to be able to serve less time for committing crimes while supposedly enforcing the law?

well, that's just phenomenally assenine.

smugness as hell starts freezing

But at least it came with this awesome picture!

then again, there are few things more californian than bolinas, which is famously located only 2 miles from somewhere.

Phenomenal Ass, Phenomenally Asinine

(I will start off this post by pointing out the title is exceptionally titular [I am such a jerk] when considered in the context of the cheif law enforcement officer of a county)

Being sheriff of one of California's most conservative counties has it's benefits. Among them: phenomenal ass.

oh and never "having" to shake anyone down.

(does it make him seem totally lame that riding in personal planes is on the list? yes, although the Bou' woulda given him some slack for saying that he got phenomenal ass in personal planes.)

to say nothing of having your personal confidant wired recording everything you say to give to the feds.

it's good to be the king, it sucks to be the king. even if only the king of orange county.

"You're right, I've had a life that's been absolutely blessed," he says. "I've met millionaires, billionaires, I've traveled on personal airplanes, and I never shook anybody down for any [expletive], so. . . . Not that I haven't, you know, drank some great wine, and had great booze and . . . got some, you know, phenomenal [sex] along the way."
