News Countdown To Sheriff Giusto’s Retirement

Posted by Matt Davis on Wed, Oct 24 at 12:21 PM

If Multnomah County Sheriff Bernie Giusto survives more than a week following the Oregonian’s scorching front page story this morning—the result of five months of interviewing, they say—I’ll be surprised. bernie_giusto.jpg
GIUSTO: Could soon be playing a lot more golf…

Having written that, reading about the man’s history, it’s as if he must have some pretty nasty dirt held over somebody’s head to have kept his job this long. Good work, Oregonian! And I don’t think that very often.

Update, 15:05: I’ve found a BRILLIANT pic of Giusto on the O’s website:b02.JPG
NOT CORRUPT AT ALL: No, sir…totally above board in every respect…

I read it too- it was a great piece. And it was a nice touch dropping it on a Wednesday (the beginning of th week...). I especially liked how they ended with his own words in a memo:" All we have is the public's trust. Without their confidence, our ability to protect and serve is inherently questioned and compromised." Man it has to royally suck to be Margie Goldschmidt. First your name is Margie. Second, that damn babysitter. Third, that damn story finally coming out. Fourth, the driver?! Can it get any worse?!

Bye Bye Bernie. Gonna be tougher to score without that badge of yours. Of course, there's always your buddies' wives.

doing the adult with a bodyguard? after kevin costner, i decided to refrain from addressing the help.

"and iiiiii-eeeee-iiiiii will alwayyyyyys love youuuuuuuuuuuuuoooooouuuuuouuuuoooooou..."

That's such a great photo: two of Oregon's slimiest.

That's a cool story, but I mean... does it really matter?

Let a playa play, man! Damn!

Ah. I just read that part about him knowing about some sexual abuse, and not reporting it. (Or some shit like that.)

Fuck that!

With a 14-year-old girl, Tron. You filthy sicko.
