Joe Paterno's death caused, to put it mildly, mixed reactions: The
Hollywood Reporter
has a roundup, and it includes everything from George HW Bush's glowing
remembrance of the Penn State coach to this zinger from a
Late Show
writer and producer: "Will there be a moment of silence for Joe
Paterno, to honor his silence when he discovered children were being
attacked?" But the most extreme reaction came, of course, from those
paragons of understatement, the Westboro Baptist Church.
Pastor Fred Phelps' daughter, Margie, announced on
Twitter yesterday that the church would picket Paterno's funeral,
TMZ
reports. "'Penn State Penn Rape' rings in Joe Paterno's ears in hell.
He partook of sin for fame & fortune. Worth NOTHING to him now.
#PicketFuneral," she tweeted. Another gem: "Stop pimping out your kids
to raping coaches @CollegeFootball! WBC must picket Paterno funeral."
