Santorum sponsored honor for Sandusky

Then Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum thought enough of Jerry Sandusky nine years ago to sponsor the former Penn State defense coordinator for a "Congressional Angels in Adoption" award, citing his work with a non-profit group he founded to provide care for foster children.

"Its philosophy is simple: it is easier to develop a child than to rehabilitate an adult," read the citation in the awards dinner program from Sept. 24, 2002.

Sandusky, of course, has been charged with sexual abuse of young boys and Penn State University is under fire for its handling of reports of the coach's suspicious behavior. The burgeoning scandal reportedly is about to force legendary head coach Joe Paterno to retire.

Well that should just about end his presidential bid.

2. A lot of us were duped by Sandusky and his Second Mile program

I don't hold that against Santorum from 2002.

9. Santorum: "I'm not just a sponsor of Sandusky's kids, I'm also a client!"

I don't know if it's true or not. I just want to hear the son-of-a-bitch deny it!
