You know an election year is coming up when politician want to grab on to the story of the day to get their faces on TV. Watch, they will end up messing up the prosecutions case and Sandusky will walk Scott free, because they drag everybody involved to DC for a dog and pony show.

He can start by looking at NAMBLA lover Kevin Jennings-the former safe school czar. What did Obama know and when did he know it?

I think the feds want to get involved in literally everything just so the sheeple will continue to consider them relevant. Smart Governors need to start saying, “Thanks, but no thanks.”

Not that I condone in any manner child molestation, but isn’t there bigger items on the agenda, like our National Debt, than this that our “elected REPRESENTATIVES” need to be working on? No wonder the Congress of the United States, both Houses, are in such low regard.

Are you kidding? Congress is not even allowed to utter the word “homosexual” due to political correctness. Forget it.

“Watch, they will end up messing up the prosecutions case and Sandusky will walk Scott free.”

The filth of the Democratic Party would LOVE to have this happen! They’re itching to blame this all on Gov. Corbett ... that’s my opinion anyway.

Corbett is promoting initiatives similar (not exactly like) to Ohio and Wisconsin with respect to teachers ... the amount of filth they sling his way is nauseating. This is coming from someone who isn’t the world’s biggest Corbett fan either.

“Little” Casey is such a doofus. Even if he ‘wins’ (i.e. the Federal investigation contributes to routing out additional wrong-doing), he loses. Many of his Pennsylvania constituents will hate him for it. But who am I to tell a liberal democrat NOT to shoot himself in the foot?

Right after the Czars paragraph, and just before the Supercommitee subsection.

No but a rotten coaching staff, a diseased admin, and an unacountable board of trustees sure do make a mess.

Take care of the Pedophile Barney Frank first, then maybe the Senate will have the credibility to go after Penn State.

I don’t think there is a school coaching staff or administration anywhere in the world that isn’t
reviewing their policies regarding this subject
right now.
