On Fox News Radio, Jan Brewer was interviewed about why she removed Mathis from the IRC. Her response is incredibly inarticulate. The woman can't even convincingly explain her actions!

Pitiful and risable. Brewer should be recalled for this ham-fisted and poorly executed intimidation of the IRC.
Note to Parraz: aim higher than Sherrif Joe.
Note to Brewer: if you are going to be a conniving thug, try to at least be clever about it. At minimum, practice your obsfucations before getting in front of a live mic, so that you don't sound like a blithering idiot.
I was dumbfounded by something Tom Zlacket wrote in his reply to Brewer's response to Mathis' request to intervene in the pending lawsuit by the IRC (which the Court granted, BTW). Zlacket is a former member of the Arizona Supreme Court, and a Republican appointee at that (although I can't claim to know Zlacket's personal politics very well). He wrote the following about the Mathis lynching:
"For what it may be worth, in more than 46 years at the Bar, the undersigned has never witnessed a more blatant attempt to tamper and directly intimidate constitutional officers in their independent work. This case involves the ultimate "dirty trick."
It is rather extraordinary for any attorney to state such a personal opinion in a filing. For one of Zlacket's stature and experience to do so carries great significance – and will certainly not be overlooked by the current Justices. For Zlacket to personally comment like this, he must be deeply disgusted and outraged by the actions of the Mayberry Machiavellians on the 9th floor and the Arizona State Senate, and must want everyone to know it.
The maundering and tautological justifications babbled by Brewer are not going to stand up to the condemnation of people of Zlacket's calibre.
