It's time to officially Pit Joe Paterno and the Penn State football program.

To everyone who still keeps responding to Starving Artist in this thread:

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The quality of threads in GQ, GD, Elections and the rest of the Pit has just been that little bit better these past few weeks. I never knew the absence of just one paleoconservative cretin could make such a delightful difference.

If that’s where we’re headed now, go back to “bitch”.

Oh, fiiinnne, I’ll do neither.

Stick around. His next post will probably give you a good reason to up your loathing level. You might just win this one, yet!

Note to Hysterical Nabobs:

It seems your mentor, role model and soulmate, Nancy Grace, is at it again. With absolutely no evidence whatsoever and jumping to conclusions based solely on what she perceives as appearances, she has determined that Whitney Houston was murdered. To wit:

Just thought you might like to see what you look like to people who value facts.

More later.

What the hell does Whitney Houston have to do with the Sandusky case?

Nancy Grace, blessings and peace be upon her name. Do try and keep up. Though I admit its not easy with an intellectual dynamo like Starkers. Boy, the brilliant insights just slough off of him like skin off a leper!

Would you agree to the fact that McQueary’s report to Joe Paterno would have marked at least the second time that Paterno had heard of Sandusky showering with a kid in Joe’s locker room?

Sandusky’s favorite song was I Will Always Loofah You.

Release the hounds.

Wow. Prescient or what?

You’ll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths, and when they bark they shoot bees at you?

She’s having another go at Dancing With the Stars?

Does anyone in this thread - other than SA of course - ever actually listen to or follow Nancy Grace in any way, shape or form? I’ve never heard of her before this thread, never cared to even read a wikipedia article about her, let alone anything else, and yet her name has come up more often than Paterno’s in this thread.

I think SA has a crush on her, and just can’t help saying her name at every opportunity.

Same here. I’ve never encountered her anywhere before now. I also was a big JoePa fan before this blew up so I hardly count as part of the ravening mob out for blood.

Worse - he thinks just saying her name constitutes an actual argument.

If anyone cares to make a search, I am confident you will find that the general opinion of members of this board (at least those who have seen her TV show) is that Nancy Grace is a first-class douchebag and a general embarassment in regard to coherent discussion of legal issues. Totally unlike the esteemed Mr. Artist, in other words. :smiley:

Never heard of her before this thread and fail to understand how even someone as ‘special’ as Starving Asshat thinks her existence has any bearing on this thread.

Nancy gets Pitted almost as much as Starving Artist.

FYI, the comparison is used because she has a history of declaring people guilty on air before trial, or even before charges.

It’s all an attempt to change the focus of the thread. First we’re all Nancy Grace, then he tries to change the subject to the popularity of Huerta88, then it’s comments about all the support he has outside this thread–you know, all the private messages, emails, greeting cards, ticker-tape parades, and shout-outs from the floor of Congress.

Apparently his imagination is limited, as he’s already circled around to Grace again.

Gaah, first mental images of Sandusky and that kid, and now this. . .

I’m off to drink myself into a stupor.
