The whole issue is one loved by the mainstream media. They love it so much they came up with another one in basketball.

They love it because it gives them something to divert the attention from B.O.'s failings. This is the kind of free campaign assistance that will give B.O. another term.

No, it is just the flavor of the week to remain at the top of all news stories until something more sordid comes along and they think it will sell for them.

My wife is a 16 yr educator...Chain of command is to report an incident to your superior. It stops there for her as an employee. If she asks about the situation later the response she gets is " we cant discuss details with you" even tho she reports the incident. If she contacts police and escalates the situation she potentially loses her job and becomes fully involved for "our" children to see.

My wife is also a high school cheerleading coach and judge that has been sued by parents about 10 yrs ago by parents of 3 girls that did not make the team. Because...They did not make the team!

She and I both agree neither one of us could have walked away from a visual incident but as far as JoPa goes he followed chain of command and his employers policy....

hmmmm

JoPa ruled Penn State. If he wanted action to be taken against Sandusky, it would have happened. Even if we give him the maximum benefit of the doubt and assume that he did all he could do with respect to the shower incident that McQueary told him about, JoPa can't explain why Sandusky was permitted to continue to associate himself with Penn State in connection with his boys' camps.

So Sandusky did the interview and denied everything other than "horsing around" and showering with boys. Uh, huh.

And now, two new cases are being reported...so there seem to be some victims that are still under 18.

And he's free on an unsecured 100K bond granted by a judge who used to work with the foundation he established and from which he selected some of his victims.

Are we sure this isn't Chicago?

I thought she was a volunteer merely? But if she used to work for them, it is in the past. What is the significance?
