christine brennan is writing about it in the pages of "usa today."z bissinger, the award winning author of "friday night lights." i appreciate you both being with us. christine, there's a report from cbs news citing the associated press, quote, in the e-mail dated november 8th from mcqueary's penn state account and made available to the associated press by his friend on tuesday, the assistant coach writes that his stopped the sexual assault and discussed it with police afterward. that is clearly a big disconnect from what we've heard before which in the grand jury report that mcqueary didn't go to police. what did you make of this? >> clearly, mcqueary's been hit with a load of bricks here. i'm sure he's as shocked as anybody at how this exploded, i'm sure everybody at penn state because of that cocoon they were living in, the thing we're describing in this story. i'm not siding with him at all. but i think that this is a classic example of this sequestered new reality world of college football, all of a sudden being bombarded by real life, thankfull

is really upset about that actually the bill brennan former agent and chairman i don't mean. foundation said i don't know anyone who's not extremely upset it's not only because of our admiration for him it's the fact that it's just not true if it were true be the worst thing in the world but don't do that to the poor guy wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to do that to the poor guy. and i'm. you know i think. it's a little i feel a little sympathetic to their argument because you know the washington post story on the noted that major historians can't find any hard evidence of homosexuality this is something that obviously has been not that well. you know there's only been rumored. for a long time but never confirmed by anybody he simply i mean not simply but he had a very close relationship with a man who was his number two for most of his life and that led to obviously rumors innuendo and i agree with you to a certain point but at the same time there are serious rumors that been floating around for years that he was homosexual so then if you make a movie about his life

so thanks to the brennan center , we have documentary evidence that some 5 million citizens are being negatively impacted by restrictive laws. and i do not want to take the place of the witnesses, but since i have been doing this laundry list i just want you to know that the reason for these laws have been to fight voter fraud. you know, where people actually try to vote more than once and under false identities. you know how pervasive this is, it's going on all of the place, and it requires our leaders to take some action on an. -- on it. and so what do we do? after five-year investigation, we have turned up less than 90 cases. and further we found 19 cases have been eligible voting -- of it in eligible voting at the state level over the last nine years. so this is a serious problem, folks. we've got to deal with this problem and we're going to find out how best to do it. we would welcome all the distinguished witnesses, including the naacp leader who was not on time in coming to the hearing.

. >> let's turn to steve brennan, the writer for the washington monthly. rent, is it not? that's my term. what would you call it? >> well, i think that it's important for romney -- it was important for romney to try to get his campaign off on a good start. this was his first campaign ad for the entire year. if he was hoping to go for an honest campaign or even an honorable campaign, then this is a huge mistake. obviously it was a blatant lie. he got caught in this blatant lie. he had this defense which was just blisteringly stupid. we have a scandal on our hands. >> isç it a chance that this candidate didn't know that the ad would be produced like this and, if not, what does it say about mitt romney's character? >> well, you know, there's that line in the ad, i'm mitt romney, i approve this message. the importance of that line tells us that romney has certain ownership over this. he can't just wash his hands of it or distance himself. he owns the campaign. it's his message. it's his ad. and so the fact that he got blat ant blatantly lying affects his inte

my job was not to convince them to be justice brennan or suitor. you had to study who he was and hold him to these ideals. it was refreshing. it is not every justice that is like that. it is not every justice that would be embarrassed that he was inconsistent with himself. he could use it in a way that he will be one of the most important ones in the history of the quiet. >> what kind of the environment did you grow up in? >> my father is a capitalist. he ran a fabricating company in central pennsylvania. he did not have much patience for politics for law professors. i'm not sure what he thinks about me spending time arguing about politics. he was a hard-working person. use up every morning to work for his company. my mother later worked as a real estate agent. he did not work at home. >> brothers and sisters? >> i have a younger sister. i have two older siblings. >> currently, you directed the ethics at harvard university. who was he? >> and he was a founder of the republic bank. he is an extraordinary figure in the history of banking. he had a ve

difficulty in registering the vote, then there are problems with voting early or absentee is the brennanew york university thought that -- determined that there were about 5 million people that might be impacted, just by these voter i.d. laws. >> richard, on the conservative side, the argument is that these new laws help prevent any type of voter fraud. how widespread is that in the nation? >> well, nobody wants to see voter fraud. i used to prosecute election fraud, but there's really very little voter fraud. almost all of the election fraud that occurs, occurs from political operatives, and lower-level functionaries in the election system. election judges, clerks, and so forth. fraud that's actually committed by voters impersonating someone else, who is entitled to vote almost never happens. >>> what can be done? this seems like it's taken from a broader form. what can be done at a legal or legislative level. as you've said, you prosecuted on this before. >> well, yes, there are a number of things that can be done. star next tuesday is concerned, people need to be reminded that if thei

i have a down's syndrome 13-year-old grandson, brennan and every year we're about the buddy walk, allthere he is right there. >> you're a great grandma. >> thank you so much. >> and of course we remind everybody "the biggest loser: battle of the ages" airs tonight at 8:00, 7:00 central here on nbc. >> thank you so much. >>> coming up next, inside the mind of casey anthony, but first these messages. low back pain.nic imagine living your life with less chronic osteoarthritis pain. imagine you, with less pain. cymbalta can help. cymbalta is a non-narcotic treatment that's fda-approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. one pill a day, every day, can help reduce this pain. tell your doctor right away if your mood worsens, you have unusual changes in mood or behavior or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. cymbalta is not approved for children under 18. people taking maois or thioridazine or with uncontrolled glaucoma should not take cymbalta. taking it with nsaid pain relievers, aspirin, or blood thinners may increase bleeding

state tragedy and what i would call the coddling of college sports, here in washington, christine brennannist for "usa today," and a sports commentator for abc news. and in philadelphia, buzz billinger, contributing editor for "vanity fair." buzz billinger, you wrote about this for "the daily beast," the 10-year-old boy in the shower. you used very graphic language. why? >> well, because, you know, the grand jury report, where a lot of this information comes from, is very clinical. i understand that. but i feel the terms that they use, uni, oral sex, anal intercourse, don't get across the alleged brutality of what mr. sandusky did. and i felt that let's call it for what it is because this was nothing less than child rape. molestation doesn't cut it in terms of what he was alleged to have done and was seen to have done in a shower by a graduate assistant coach. it was not a kid. he was 28 years old. and i felt -- and i thought about it hard, it was not gratuitous, the public needed to know what we're talking about. >> does -- are the media kind of glossing over the sexual details, christin

i am joined by mark brennan. a fight dedicated to penn state sports.> thanks for having me. >> absolutely. let me get an idea of what students are saying on the eve of this big game. as i said earlier, it would be so ear and f and when they score a touchdown and fans are waving and investigators are looking for alleged abuse victims. >> yeah, it's really just an odd, awful situation. we saw the reaction of the students earlier. some violent and some supporting joe paterno. they just didn't know how to react after these horrible allegations came out and they were taking down and joe paterno lost his job. i hope there was a semblance of sanity. we are talking about the candlelight vigil and they will do a blue out honoring the victims of sexual predators. you would hope that sanity is restored. what's going to happen when state scores a touchdown. i don't know that anyone cares at this point. >> let me play what the governor who was the attorney general when this started what he had to say to students last night. >> the eyes of the nation are ow. they ar
