So according to Mark, what we have here is a sex-ring supplying little boys to rich PSU donors. Sick that Joe would help cover that up.

One might say that it was too big for Joe to bring down but if it was that big Joe was the one person that could bring it down ... with one call to the governor.

Assuming the governor “didn’t know.” But explain these remarks from the governor a couple of days ago.

Tom Corbett on Penn State mess
November 09, 2011|By John L. Micek, CALL HARRISBURG BUREAU

HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett on Wednesday said he was “personally disappointed in the lack of action” by university officials. “And I had to contain that for the last two years.”

Corbett, a former state attorney general, said his office first began investigating accusations against Sandusky in 2009, after receiving a referral from the Centre County District Attorney’s Office. Because of his investigatory role, he declined to comment on many of the specifics in the case.

I wouldn't be surprised if Second Mile was that.

but if it was that big Joe was the one person that could bring it down ... with one call to the governor.

Of course, you are still not the slickest bit of oil in the salad.

JoePa is gone. There was no cover-up by Joe, Joe didn’t tell McQueary not to report it, there was that one incident and not a string where Joe stopped someone from reporting or squelched an investigation. Let’s call it one-time negligent inaction. We’ve set the punishment for his inaction by saying he should lose his job right now. Fine.

That only raises the bar for everyone else above him, because they engaged in willful obstruction, actual cover-up, and possibly worse. If Joe should lose his job they should go to jail. Where do you think I’m going to put my focus, on Joe or them?
