PRESCOTT, Ariz. -- Two teenagers who pleaded guilty to assaulting young boys at an Arizona summer camp will spend at least a month in jail.

Clifton Bennett and Kyle Wheeler were accused of poking the boys over their clothing with broomsticks, a flashlight and a cane as either a punishment or just because they were in a bad mood.

Bennett, the son of a powerful state senator, was sentenced Friday to 30 days in jail. Wheeler received 45 days.

The teenagers pleaded guilty to assault last month. Prosecutors dropped more serious charges of kidnapping and aggravated assault, sparing them from the possibility of decades in prison.

3. Where's Dild O'Reilly?

I'm sure the self proclaimed "culture warrior" will dedicate his tv "Talking Points" segment to direct his outrage towards this leniant mis-carriage of justice in favor of some Repuke politician's sexually demented offspring....Yeah right! And that's a memo.
