I am not defending anyone, I think Sandusky should burn in hell, but this report was a joke since the investigators had no power to put people under oath.

A joke?

So unless the facts are sworn to under oath, then all these facts are just “a joke”?

Something ain’t right you, boy.

I remember G. Gordon Liddy calling him “Hapless” Louis Freeh about a thousand times during the Clintoon administration.

Penn State is a wreck. They also performed a complete coverup and whitewash of the global warming hoaxes being perpetuated by some of their faculty.

It is a cross to bear for alumni of the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League university founded in Philadelphia by Benjamin Franklin. Many assume that when you say, "I went to Penn" or "UPenn" that you mean Penn State.

Also, it's a pity for the Baltimore-area newscaster Gerry Sandusky. I think he should change his name to Gerry Sands.

And yet, the media still is all outraged about the Catholic Church’s problems with this. If the NCAA does not give PennState the death penalty, it will be all over for the protection of children in this country. All over.

They found emails and written letters.

'I am not defending anyone but...' sounds like the typical 'Penn St. way' of handling the truth.
