Lol. I agree JoePa has to go NOW, not at the end of the season. But I have to say that “flatulent autocrat” is my new favorite expression!

Paterno is going to be allowed to retire at the “end of the season.” Frankly, this Saturday’s home game (the last home date of the season, “Senior Day”) is going to be a 3-Ring Circus if they don’t get him out before then. I can’t see how the university can permit that.

Paterno seems to think he is safe now because he has said he will retire after this season. Every game they play from now on will be a circus. If he has a new found desire to do the right thing he would retire now.

Sorry but Paterno did his job by immediately reporting what was relayed to him to the Athletic Director. It was not his responsibility to investigate. It was not his responsibility to make a possible false claim to the police department as many are accusing him of not doing.

Had he taken it upon himself to go to the police with an accusation against Sandusky, this would have been headline news. And if that accusation had proven false, Joe Paterno would have been fired and subject to a probable libel lawsuit.......

As I said, Paterno did exactly what was required of him under the extremely extenuating circumstances..........

And tho it probably means nothing to you, the Grand Jury itself has stated that Paterno cooperated fully with the investigation and had fulfilled any initial obligation he had in this sad incident.

These people knew about and covered all this up because of two things: money (from sports) and the power that goes with it. Typical liberals willing to overlook anything, do anything, say anything as long as they can control people, take their money and direct their lives. Oh and don’t forget a little murder and perversion thrown in for good measure. Sickening.
