Catholic priest, ex-EWTN TV host, fathered child; he’s now in custody fight, accused of abuse

My grandmother watched this quite often when I was young.. I recall this priest’s face from my early days. Thankfully, as a child, I didn’t know him personally..

Clinton also spent years traveling and partying with Ron Burkle, a billionaire bachelor with a penchant for very young girls. Clinton spent so much time on Burkle’s private plane that it came to be known in Burkle’s circle as “Air F—k One.”

Paterno didn't abuse the children. He reported the story of abuse (abuse he did not actually even witness) to his superior, which is what university policy instructed him to do. Maybe Paterno had an opportunity to be a hero, hindsight is 20/20, but he was not particularly knowledgeable about the issue at large OR the actual events, so he did what he thought he was supposed to do. He was an extremely accomplished and well loved man - merely following protocol is not a reason to take that all away

I know for a fact that my Paterno statue post would cause some commentary.. This one being shown here is among the most innocent, a few others detailed some awful things I should do to myself..Unprintable things. Sandusky things..

And you’re right, anonymous, Paterno didn’t do the wretched deeds that others did.. 

But for some record, I’d like to place a number of news items from the memory hole back into the cyberworld of today:

Penn State’s Rap Sheet Way Longer Than Sandusky Scandal

Why did Penn State hire the president of football-rape-probe-cover-up U? 

And we also cannot forget the Freeh report: Freeh Report Slams Joe Paterno

All of this does not matter to some fans, though.. But it matters to  me.. Just as any group of highly placed people abusing their rights or the decency of their human presence, it bothers me..

VA deaths covered up to make statistics look better, whistle-blower says

Records of dead vets were changed to hide how many people died while waiting for care at the Phoenix VA hospital, whistle-blower tells CNN.

We aren’t just talking about ‘numbers’ and stats here.. we are talking about lives. Lives now ended .. This is deeply troubling. And the iceberg’s tip will only lead to bigger things..

VA deaths covered up to make statistics look better, whistle-blower says

It’s time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress

Monica Lewisnky, in an exclusive VANITY FAIR story..

She expressed regret in the article concerning her affair with Bill Clinton.
She experienced job rejections because of her famed ‘job’ with Bubba..
And she expressed tears when she heard of a 2010 suicide of Tyler Clementi..

She blamed Matt Drudge and the Drudge Report for being “possibly the first person whose global humiliation was driven by the Internet.”

She said the public humiliation she experienced altered her life. I am sure Linda Tripp agreed.

Scandals evolve. 
Administrations devolve.

It’s raining over Obama now. And when it rains it pours.
But things can turn quickly.. that’s an is.
And it all matters what ‘is’ means anyway..

But there are important questions waiting to be answered. How many IRS officials knew of the political targeting? Did anyone in the White House?

How did such a huge confiscation and spying on AP reporters occur? This is unprecedented. 

Why can’t the Administration simply stop making any references to that video, as we know now it had nothing to do with Benghazi.

If bad things come in threes, I guess the President is at his limit. But in politics, bad things come in multiples of threes. A long hot summer may be starting..

The Petreaus Layus update:

Tales of sex, scandals, and the CIA.. days after General Petreaus resigned over a sex scandal with Paula Broadwell and shocked the nation (but not Eric cantor) comes this new question: Did Petreaus’ mistress reveal information on Benghazi?

The FBI knew about the Petreaus affair in the summer..

Not the first time that a sloppy email chain was associated with David Petreaus..

Lawmakers press for Petreaus testimony on Libya despite affair scandal..

Now information is being revealed on the ‘second woman’ associated with the Petreaus scandal..

Will Obama’s second term be littered with scandal and upheaval?
