So who benefited from the Sandusky, Penn State child sexual abuse scandal story?

I know that that judge in Texas who beat his daughter silly disappeared pretty quickly.

But my, that Sandusky story has legs, wheels in fact. That audio interview with Bob Costas was fascinating, especially the pauses and language used by the one-time defensive coordinator, trying to mix the truth with the omissions that will land him in prison for the rest of his life.

He touched their legs....but without sexual intent. He is passionate about young people, especially boys.

These are very carefully worded confessions, I feel.

I think he actually believes that he is normal and that his actions are only misunderstood.

I also must say I am in no way offended by Sandusky-inspired humor. I've heard of someone raising eyebrows by naming their bar trivia team "Touched: The Jerry Sandusky story." Funny.

SNL's bit on even the devil being offended was funny.

And somewhere, I think on Facebook, I saw a reference to Joe Paterno death watch. That's funny. You know how occasionally long time married grandparents will die one after the other, sometimes just days apart. Wonder how Paterno will live without football.

At least he won't be like Jon Gruden, annoying television viewers as another ex-coach thinking a second profession is easy.

I would like to see Oprah get Paterno in the hot seat, though. Not just to listen to but to watch him squirm.

It's the funniest five minutes of TV often, the one media-rich moment that gets the ultimate mock up treatment by the fine folks at "Saturday Night Live," perhaps the only reason the show is still on the air.

This week's moment was predicted, Gov. Rick Perry's meltdown.




Here's the video from Hulu as the SNL crew revisists the OU debate and Perry's memory.

Oh, and it's a good thing they had Perry's gaffe, as Joe Paterno and Penn State would have been a huge gamble to lead the show on Saturday night. The news segment was the best place to poke fun of this terrible story, and having the devil himself even offended is pretty darn funny(This is college football; not the Catholic Church). Also, nice, the devil getting his news from Ashton Kutcher's Twitter account.
