From Sandusky to Spanier.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/02/sports/ncaafootball/graham-b-spanier-former-penn-state-president-charged-in-sandusky-case.html

The former Penn State president is now charged with felonies in the still-developing tale of horror and cover up.

There is not a Hell hot enough for these violators of the public trust. These awful people who tolerated children being victims just to protect their precious football program.

Fuck 'em.

He delayed the prosecution until after he was elected governor. He accepted campaign money from Sandusky's foundation during the investigation. He is as crooked as Spanier.

There were many Pennsylvanians affected by Hurricane Sandy, yet Tom Terrific doesn't seem to be helping much.

He's staying out of the public eye, more than willing to let others take the fall in the Sandusky case. His time will be coming, too. Justice needs to be served.

"During a news conference, Pennsylvania’s attorney general, Linda Kelly, said Spanier faced five charges: perjury, obstruction of justice, endangering the welfare of children, criminal conspiracy and failure to report suspected child abuse. She also said that two other former university officials — Gary Schultz, the former university vice president, and Tim Curley, the former athletic director — would face the same five charges."

Not just Spanier but also Schultz and Curley, all of them being charged is good news.
