Some of you may have heard that "Morning Joe" on MSNBC had a very ignorant discussion about the "Penn State Scandal" yesterday. I have written an extensive rebuttal on the major media website Mediaite which is an absolute MUST-read/share for anyone who cares about the truth of this matter and specifically the reputation of Joe Paterno. I went out on a big limb to get Mediaite to even publish this column and it is a major step in the right direction that they took this chance. It is very important that this piece be shared widely so that they may be willing to go even further on this story in the future. Thank you for your support.

portion of Ziggy's article:
It is obvious to people who have actually studied the case that if Paterno had not testified to the grand jury that McQueary had told him of
something “sexual in nature,” that Sandusky never even gets arrested. This is how weak — contrary to public perception — the case against Sandusky was after two years of investigation.

Joe Paterno's minutes-long January testimony before a grand jury investigation
Jerry Sandusky was read into the record in absence of his in-person testimony at a hearing for two Penn State officials.
Read aloud by a representative for the Attorney General's office, his testimony lasted 6 minutes in court Friday.
Here is what he said: McQueary called him on a Saturday morning, he couldn't remember what year.
McQueary told him he'd seen Sandusky who was "fondling a young boy" in the showers of the Lasch Building.
"It was of sexual nature. I'm not sure exactly what it was. I didn't push Mike ... because he was obviously very upset," according to his testimony.
Thank you John,
I recall Ray Blehar touched on this particular idiom
"It was of sexual nature” in the last couple of months
. My understanding is that this particular one of Joe’s testimony was recorded by the AG’s office and later transcribed in writing for the GJ.
I can’t remember in detail all of Ray’s blogs, but I believe it was mentioned that the testimony Joe gave relating to Mike McQ may have be transcribed in reverse……I believe the Paterno's attorneys are in the process of acquiring the original recording of the conversation to confirm.
Was it or It was of a sexual nature…most of us know that JoePa always had that personality to answer a question with a question.
