There is accusation of misprision only by media ... the same media types who believe shutting down the entire athletic program is the only recourse.<br />The President of the Univ to whom Paterno kicked this upstairs is the slobbovian who dropped the ball on the issue. He may even be involved instead of an enabler.<br />Paterno should have been fired, but for not following up, as he was guilty.<br />I'm surprised this hasn't happened at TT, UT or T-A&M.Old Scouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279657261404730976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502695489360674806.post-83545099993089442282011-11-16T18:32:31.502-06:002011-11-16T18:32:31.502-06:00Interesting: nowhere does it mention that Paterno ...Interesting: nowhere does it mention that Paterno is a long-time staunch Republican.<br />If he'd been a Democrat, I'm sure this fact would have been shouted from the rooftops over and over by Fox News, Drudge, Newsmax, talk radio, the right-wing blogosphere, and the rest of the GOP noise machine---all of which would have eventually pushed this story angle into regular mentions in MSM coverage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502695489360674806.post-73363748866236959102011-11-13T14:52:25.131-06:002011-11-13T14:52:25.131-06:00What happened to Paterno should sound a warning ca...What happened to Paterno should sound a warning call to others who complacently hide behind the walls of their own institutions and refuse to even consider doing what is right and proper!Jack Jodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465017098355576489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502695489360674806.post-88273200276141833852011-11-12T15:47:49.411-06:002011-11-12T15:47:49.411-06:00I think it was Christopher Hitchens who was credit...I think it was Christopher Hitchens who was credited with saying that the Roman Catholic Church's motto should be "No child's behind left."<br /><br />Sounds like that one might be good for the Penn State athletic department instead.Manifesto Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521151220297061304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502695489360674806.post-89525400111311096582011-11-12T13:18:38.912-06:002011-11-12T13:18:38.912-06:00This was one of the most astonishing stories I'...This was one of the most astonishing stories I've seen in a long time. What kind of people actually riot in support of a child-molestation cover-up???
