Mike Carona Showed Newport Beach Police Who Is Boss!

"I, uh, also want you to know that not only isn't he getting his sheriff's badge, there won't be a mother fucker from the Orange County Sheriff's Department that'll be there. So I called all of the command staff together and I said, 'Well, you know, I can't tell people what to do on their own time, but I'm telling all you guys cause I pay you and you're at will. If any of you show up to that thing, you're done.'"

--Then-Sheriff Mike Carona, who says the Bible governs his daily actions, caught on a secret 2007 FBI recording boasting about his petty efforts to punish outgoing Newport Beach police chief Bob McDonell at his retirement party. McDonell's sin? He wouldn't bow to Carona's massive ego.
