From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Web site: The Easton Express-Times is reporting the Penn State president Graham Spanier will by out -- either by resignation or firing -- by the end of the day.

From the cited Easton Express-Times: Spanier was made aware in 2002 that a graduate assistant coach had seen former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky allegedly sexually assault a young boy in a shower in the Penn State locker room, according to grand jury testimony. Spanier did not involve police, according to testimony. Spanier has not been charged, but there have been many calls for his resignation.

Now if we could only accomplish the same sort of “house cleaning” @ all of the other liberal universities...especially those run by the state...think how much $ taxpayers would save!

From the article: An interim president, most likely Executive Vice President and Provost Rodney A. Erickson, will be appointed and a nationwide search for a permanent replacement will begin

What did Erickson know? And when?

Putting male homosexuals and boys together is a recipe for sexual predation. The Boy Scouts figured it out long ago. The Catholic Church has suffered greatly and continues to hemorrhage money thanks to infiltration by homos. Now they are in the military. You can lay the success of the movement at the feet of hollywood where homosexual writers portray the deviant behavior as benign, intelligent and all about love. Those involved in public health know that male homosexuals are the #1 vector for the spread of at least a dozen infectious diseases and have the highest incidence of raping little boys—look at this guy, molesting, not one boy but a dozen or more.

Yesterday Rush alluded to why the investigation was stymied but he couldn’t say it without ending his career. We can say it here. The guy was a member of a protected group-a homosexual.

Maybe this has been told, I can’t remember reading it...but, why/how did this finally get revealed? And why has it taken so long? Those poor boys. I imagine for them that there are mixed feelings about having it known that they were sexually molested by a man. That has to be difficult for them to have the public find out. And, yet, also difficult for them to have kept quiet about it all these years. Either way the bottom line is that this is such a horrid, disgusting thing to have happened to them and anyone who had any inkling of it without taking action to get rid of Sandusky years ago should be criminally charged, fined and humiliated. No matter how much the college loves them!

He deserved this a long time ago. And for many many many many additional reasons.

Likely the same guy who allowed the whitewash of Mike Mann’s efforts to shove his hockey stick up the world’s collective butt.

There is nothing funny about what happened to the children in this case. I have the utmost sympathy for them & their families.

With that being said (which I feel was necessary) the jokes have started & this situation is not going away.

Here is one I read on a college sports board: not really funny, but something that may stick with that school for a long time!

You know what they call an old broad who's into young boys - a cougar!

Now we have a name for an old man who has the same interest - a Nittany Lion
