Re: Penn State Child Abuse Scandal
I'm no supporter of Bush 41 or 43. But c'mon, let's be fair about this.
Prior to Jerry Sandusky's arrest in November of 2011, Joe Pa had the general public fooled as to the kind of person that he really was. Only a very small inner circle at PSU were aware of the Hall of Fame coach's efforts at cover-up.
If you or anyone else had any inkling of Joe Paterno's true character prior to November of 2011, then I want to see it in writing. Otherwise, this kind of finger-wagging is laughable.
I mean, lambasting Bush 41 for having Joe Pa give a nomination speech some ten years before he was first aware of Sandusky's criminal conduct.... don't you think that's more than a little ridiculous?
And if we're gonna hold politicians responsible for knowing the true characters of their supporters before their dirty laundry is aired, then let's make it clear that this is not just an issue for the GOP. Or have we already forgotten about Obama seeking the support and endorsement of John Edwards several months before the former NC senator admitted to concocting an elaborate scheme designed to cover-up an affair with a campaign worker, which resulted in the birth of an illegitimate child.
