Penn State Used To Teach People About Dumb Questions

I try to maintain my belief that there's no such thing as a dumb question, but the Penn State sexual abuse scandal has certainly tested that view. No figure in this situation has pushed the limits of this belief than the now-infamous Mike McQueary. The accounts of what Mike McQueary saw and did that night in March 2002, when he testified that he saw former Penn State assistance coach Jerry Sandusky raping a young boy, have gotten more confusing and seemingly contradictory over the past week or so.

With that in mind, I wonder if perhaps the ripple effects of that night are largely the side effects of a dumb question by Mike McQueary. Perhaps his reaction when seeing Sandusky and the as-yet-unidentified boy in the shower was to say, "Pardon me, Jerry. Would you mind taking this clearly underage boy somewhere else and finish @$$-raping him there, so I can go home with a clear conscience?"

If true, and there's nothing in the Grand Jury presentment to say it couldn't be, it would be safe to say that there's at least one dumb question in the world. Thank you, Mike McQueary.
