Jerry Sandusky's 'TOUCHED', revisited. Oh, and McQueary has to go too, just like Paterno had to go.

Jerry Sandusky (with Kip Richeal as ghost-writer) wrote his autobiography, 'Touched', published in 2000, ostensibly about his life's work as a coach. That's before he went on to work with a charity outreach, 'helping' young boys. Surreal as it may seem now, that book title was his choice.

Now, he's the 'Pedophile of Penn State', the monster who's activities have brought down Penn State's iconic football coach Joe Paterno (and some guy who was the University President, but mostly Sandusky will be recalled as the dawg who took out JoePa).

Please refer to the reworked book cover here, and follow along...

The new 'Touched, the Sequel' book jacket?

Jerry Sandusky is Michael Jackson without the moonwalk and the ranch. An evil pedophile; like Jackson, he approached young and troubled youth, then raped them.

Sandusky was caught in the act in 2002 by Mike McQueary, a decent-enough kid who was, prior to being 'the graduate student who saw Jerry Sandusky raping a kid in the locker room shower', a full-fledged QB for the Nittany Lions; successful enough to help win a season's worth of games but not good enough to make it in the NFL (maybe because of that name?). He then became the aforementioned 'grad student who', then rose up in the ranks of college coachery to the position he holds now: Joe Paterno's go-to sideline coach. He'll be there Saturday trying to win a game for the Nittany Lions, in what will probably be the most-watched football game in Penn State history. Or not. Perhaps the University will do the right thing and scrub the game.

So, back to 2002: having seen Sandusky in action, this confuzzled kid-grad student assistant coach first meets with his father, then meets his Gawd, Coach Joe Paterno, and describes exactly what he saw. Remember, this is in 2002. Also he describes what he saw to the University AD and the head of Campus Security.

They conferred, and a couple days later tell McQueary that Sandusky has been forbidden to bring 10 year old kids back into University showers.

Whaaaat ?

No 'real' police were called, by McQueary, McQueary's father, Joe Paterno, the AD at the time, nor the head of Campus Security.

This is a timeline of complete failure and breakdown of logical thinking. McQueary should've called the police immediately, without even telling his father or Paterno or involving campus security. This matter transcended all of that 'chain of command' crap. I suppose to blame McQueary legally won't be happening, as he's the only eye witness the State has for to prosecute Sandusky; but still he's going to have to bear at minimum his own mental burden of guilt, for not acting more aggressively to stop Sandusky.

And, he's gotta go too. Penn State needs a nice bleaching right now, top to bottom.

Oh, one more point...

There was rioting on the Penn State campus last night because Joe Paterno got fired. Really, University kids? Seriously?

Look, this is why you kids aren't taken seriously. Either you congregate in malls, you 'Occupy' spaces and act the fools when you can't get free shit (or is that after graduation when you get your student loan payment notices, and you can't find work because you chose some stupidish major no one wants to pay to hear you talk about?) or you riot and complain because Joe Paterno, de facto Leader of Men, who should've stepped forward and stopped all of these child rapes the minute he heard about 'em in 2002, was rightfully removed from his job. Hopefully the administration used some nice steel-toed boots after his exit interview.

Get a grip, fools. Paterno let down the entire empire that is Penn State football; from henceforth the school will be known to wags as 'Pedophile State'; just to win more meaningless football games and keep an air of 'dignity' about the place. That worked out well, didn't it?

Oh, finally: if Sandusky isn't on a suicide watch, please don't bother. That guy needs to find a tall bridge or a long pier somewhere.
