The facts will shake out. I have friends that donate a lot (like 7 figures) to Penn State. Paterno is being scape goated. Corbett is in trouble. I voted for Corbett, but it could get really ugly for him soon (hint: he was the AG of PA a few years ago).
EXACTLY!
ALL THIS IS COVERING FOR CORBETT
MAKES ME SICK WHAT THEY DID TO JOE
Yes, he knew the deal but he couldn’t say a word because Grand Juries operate in secrecy. He could only discuss the case with people he brought with him from the AG’s office into the Governor’s office.
Paterno is not being scape-goated so much as he is being torn apart and devoured by the bloodthirsty media, ala “Lord of the Flies”. Once they get the scent, the pack mentality takes over and these sub-humans forget anything they may have ever known about common decency.
The politicians, the university administrators, and the pundits are no better, each desperately trying to seize a phony moral highground. Not one of them has the cojones to say, “This is a lynching. It’s wrong to take such precipitous action without a full examination of all the facts, just to satisfy a mob of jackals.”
Exactly how is firing a guy that let his assistant coach and friend bang little boys in the PSU locker room 'scape goating'?
Corbett is in trouble. I voted for Corbett, but it could get really ugly for him soon (hint: he was the AG of PA a few years ago).
Why is Corbett in trouble? It has already gotten ugly and will get uglier. Your hint makes no sense. He was the one that started the investigation.
Sorry, but what a load of crap. Sandusky was in the offices of the Athletic department up until literally days ago. Legal procedures aside, there is no reason Paterno couldn’t have ensure that this creep had ZERO affiliation with the Penn State football program as soon as he heard the original allegation.
Paterno either believed it and did nothing, or chose to believe that a trusted assistant coach (McQueary) was a liar.
What are you talking about? Corbett did the right thing. HE COULDN’T TALK ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION BECAUSE OF GRAND JURY SECRECY LAWS. I think you’re a troll.
