This is BOR's Video of the Day, or VOTD, our nightly video clip segment that hopefully provides you with a laugh at the end of the day.
Over the weekend, Sheriff Paul Babeu of Arizona's Pimal County -- and a co-chair of Mitt Romney's campaign in the state -- was "outed" by his secret gay lover. So what's the big deal, right? Homophobic Republicans are constantly being exposed as closet cases. Happens every day, practically. Well, this instance is extra-amusing: the rabidly anti-immigrant Babeu, known as "Mr. Terrible Testosterone" to immigrants in the region, was busted by his undocumented Mexican lover. Babeu had previously kept his lover silent by threatening to deport him if he outed the Sheriff!
However, it turns out he's only against the straight immigrants. Humor site Pocho.com unearthed this video from Babeu's campaign:
Tell me there's not an "I Shot the Sheriff" joke in there somewhere.
Speaking of anti-immigrant Republicans and Arizona, join us tomorrow for our last GOP Debate Watch from Angie's in East Austin. It's the only debate watch that requires two forms of federally issued ID.
Check out all of our BOR videos of the day on the VOTD tag.
