Pawlenty has a problem: Man got sex crime pardon so

[daa]

wife could open child-care center -- now accused of molesting daughter

It looks like TIm Pawlenty may not be as squeaky clean as he'd have you think.

City Pages:


Jeremy Giefer served time in jail in 1994 for having sex with a 14-year-old girl. But you wouldn't know it to look at the record of the man now charged with sexually molesting his daughter more than 250 times over the last eight years.

That's because two years ago, Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Attorney General Lori Swanson, and then-Chief Justice Eric Magnuson unanimously voted to wipe Giefer's record clean, granting him a pardon extraordinary.

One reason Giefer wanted his record cleared? His wife wanted to open a childcare center in the house where they live--the same house where Giefer allegedly molested his young daughter throughout the six years prior.

I can see the commercial...a wide eyed little girl sees the hulking shadow at her bedroom door...a look of terror crosses her face...the door closes...ominous music plays

5. It's like the never heard of the Internet, the great truth detector

Whether it is Herman Cain, or Gingrich, or Limbaugh, or Palin, or Pawlenty, just about everything they ever said is out there for recall and easy to fact check. They are dumb. All of those jerks that voted for the ryan plan will deny it next year and we will NAIL them.
