Police arrested the former manager of Sen. John McCain’s Pueblo presidential campaign office Wednesday on charges he sexually assaulted a 5-year-old boy left in his care so the boy’s mother could attend a rally for McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, The Denver Post’s Howard Pankratz reported Thursday afternoon.
It’s the second arrest on charges of sexual assault on a child by a person in position of trust in a week for Jeffrey Claude Bartleson, 52, who has faced similar allegations at least five times since 1982 without being convicted of a crime, according to the Pueblo Chieftain’s Nick Bonham.
Pueblo is actually in southern Colorado, not New Mexico.
Doh, meant to write one when I meant the other. Fixed.
Maybe I’m slow here, but this dude was arrested last week for this, and someone left their son in his care this week.
Am I reading that right?
who has faced similar allegations at least five times since 1982 without being convicted of a crime,
Clearly, he missed his calling to the priesthood.
CS:Am I reading that right?
So he was charged with a second count.
This is obviously good news for John McCain.

HAW!
I realize what that means to say, but the first time thru I read it as he assaulted the boy so his mother could attend the rally…
“So he was charged with a second count.”
So neither parent knew of any previous incidents when they left their child with this man?
God, this is a poorly written article.
So neither parent knew of any previous incidents when they left their child with this man?
Yeah, I guess. Apparently, now that this story has hit, there are parents coming out of the woodwork.
This one is written a little better.
To paraphrase Pete Townshend:
Do you think it’s alright
To leave the boy with Uncle Jeffrey?
Do you think it’s alright?
We need to bond with Palin tonight
Do you think it’s alright?
…
I’m your wicked Uncle Jeffery
And I hope that you won’t mind me
As I fiddle a-bout
Fiddle a-bout
Fiddle about!
Yes I think it’s alright
I think it’s alright.
I think it’s all riiiiiiight

God. Never trust people in authority.
People who are rich, powerful, in charge did not necessarily get there because they have any skill, trustworthiness, ability.
They could be crooks. They could be morons with connections. They could be charming perverts.
and they could be non-taxpaying Democrats.
But “ignore the tax evading influence peddlers behind the curtain”
and they could be non-taxpaying Democrats.
Lessee, who would you rather leave your kids with?
