Quote of the day (re: Penn State scandal)

[markpkessinger]

"There are two kinds of sports fans this morning: Those who are sickened and outraged by the callous, selfish way Paterno handled the news that his former right-hand man and friend — a guy he coached and worked with for 32 years — was believed to be a rapist and a predator who used the football facility as a place to corner his young victims.

And those who haven’t yet read the 23-page report from the grand jury."

1. I haven't been online much lately, but this article is the one to read for those like me

who get their news mainly online.

It's more awful than I could imagine. Joe Paterno is made from the same soiled cloth as Republicans: His allegiance to Penn State trumps being a hero to 10-year-old boys who can't defend or speak up for themselves. And the witness who didn't stop what he walked in on is the absolute lowest of the low.

2. If I'd walked in on that, they'd have to remove what was left of that

bastard with a hose!

3. you and me both, darling. I taught and saw this. It kills the soul.

4. Indeed . And that witness, a grad assistant under Paterno ...

... was later given with a full time position on PSU's coaching staff. Coincidence?
