WOW. Patrick McDonald on Tweety...
Chris was about to end the segment on Penn State with Ed Rendell pointing out all the GOOD THINGS Penn State has done, and how these good things shouldn't be overshadowed...McDonald, an abuse victim, didn't let it end on a happy note. He spoke up, said he didn't care what good things these people think they've done, his life was changed forever. I can't do justice to his remarks, but he put Tweety and Rendell in their place...there simply is no excuse.

1. He was great. I was grossed out by Rendell's misplaced praise and was also glad to see
McDonald address it.

2. Absolutely GD right
No amount of good deeds can compensate for the horrific abuses these child victims endured. There isn't a scale large enough to balance that disparity.
