It should be noted that he managed to lose that race despite having the "paterno" surname in pennsylvania. If that's not a stunning indictment on his competency, I don't know what is.

Not to mention the district he ran in is northwest of Philly/Northeastern Harrisburg and has a PVI of +6. Not to mention that W Bush won the same district by a very comfortable margin.

As a Republican to lose in that district, with his last name and his father's legacy, he has to come across as absolutely incompetent. And as we've seen, he does and is incompetent.

A few months before the scandal broke he transferred the house to his wife for $1.

NY Times article

Quote:

.../snip/...

Lawrence A. Frolik, a law professor at the University of Pittsburgh who specializes in elder law, said that he had ?never heard? of a husband selling his share of a house for $1 to his spouse for tax or government assistance purposes.



"I can?t see any tax advantages," Frolik said. "If someone told me that, my reaction would be," Are they hoping to shield assets in case if there's personal liability?" He added, "It sounds like an attempt to avoid personal liability in having assets in his wife?s name."


Two lawyers examined the available documents in recent days. Neither wanted to be identified because they were not directly involved in the case or the property transaction. One of the experts said it appeared to be an explicit effort to financially shield Joe Paterno. The other regarded the July transaction, at least on its face, as benign.

It could also be seen as attempting to keep the house out of probate since he knew he had terminal cancer. In that scenario, the Paternos win.

Changes are being made. Appropriately so.

Paternoville changes name to Nittanyville

Paternoville is no more.

Days after the Freeh report implicated the late Joe Paterno in the cover-up surrounding the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal at Penn State, the student organization that runs the tent village set up outside Gate A at Beaver Stadium before home games announced it has changed its name. Paternoville has become Nittanyville.

The organization, renamed the Nittanyville Coordinating Committee, released a statement Monday night announcing the change.

It reads in part:

Since Penn State joined the Big Ten in 1993, Penn State students have camped out at Beaver Stadium in order to guarantee themselves a rail-side seat -- though students hardly ever sit -- for a home football game. In 2005, a student termed the encampment "Paternoville," and the name stuck through the 2011 season.

"Now, it's a new era of Nittany Lion football," committee president Troy Weller said. "And by changing the name to Nittanyville we want to return the focus to the overall team and the thousands of students who support it. We thank the Paterno family for their gracious assistance and support over the last several years."
