NOW: Paterno Should Resign Over Comments
(AP) STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Women’s rights advocates who say Joe Paterno made outrageous remarks about an alleged sexual assault want the Penn State football coach to resign.
Joanne Tosti-Vasey, president of the National Organization for Women in Pennsylvania, said Paterno’s comments last week represent an institutional insensitivity that endangers women. She issued a news release late Friday calling for Paterno’s resignation.
“When someone of his stature makes light of sexual assault, we have a serious problem,” Tosti-Vasey said. “It sends a message that this behavior is not serious ... that sexual assault or rape or violence against women is acceptable for an athlete.”
The coach’s remarks came a day before the Orange Bowl, when a reporter asked a question related to Florida State linebacker A.J. Nicholson. Nicholson was accused of sexual assault and sent home before Tuesday’s game.
Paterno replied by talking about past suspensions of Penn State players, according to an official transcript from the Orange Bowl.
He then added: “There’s some tough—there’s so many people gravitating to these kids. He may not have even known what he was getting into, Nicholson. They knock on the door; somebody may knock on the door; a cute girl knocks on the door. What do you do?”

Wow.....now THERE'S a reason for NOW to hate him!
I'm not so sure she HAS a "door"
Maybe a back door.
I'd rather see a two-thousand pound bomb dropped on NOW headquarters than see Coach Paterno resign.
where is his door......EXACTLY......satellite image acceptable...
It's just a little frightening that you would have that photograph at your fingertips.
I heard from a very credible source that they use to line up outside his hotel room door.
LOL!
woooops! that explains it....
Oh, that's right. Something like than isn't enough to require a resignation.
Hopefully she hasn't contaminated the gene pool.
My motto is "watch what they do not what they say" and Paterno seems to have "done" things just fine over the years.
Joe's da man. Joanne's da man. It's a semi-Mexican standoff.
A shame she didn't shave before the pic was taken.
Joanne Toasti-Vaseline looks like a young Al Bundy with a wig! What are her comments about the three girls who had the bodies chopped off! Huh!
Nice 5 O'Clock shadow that this "babe" is sporting. You can see it even through the make-up/air brush. I wonder if she uses Pinaud Mustache Wax?
she is the mother of one son like Cartmans "mother".
No, but it's ok for Democrat presidents to be accused or rape. These idiot were no where to be found to defend Juanita Broderick or the others who were assaulted by Clinton.
They are griping about JoePa? hit the road, heffer!
Sounds plausible...surely he didn't have to go looking for them...
