We interrupt the regularly scheduled Super Bowl frippery (Today's meme: Why Does The Evil Media Keep Asking Tom Brady Mean Retirement Questions, Even Though He's The Oldest Starting Quarterback In Super Bowl History?) to check in with the ongoing scandal(s) at Michigan State University, where getting out of one's own way is apparently a bridge too far.
The latest from MSU's eternally clueless board of trustees: They've picked former Michigan governor John Engler to be Michigan State's interim president.
This would be the same John Engler who, when he was governor, dismissed out of hand multiple allegations of sexual assault brought by female prison inmates, even refusing to cooperate with outside authorities in their investigation into the matter. The women eventually won a huge class-action settlement against the state.
Now Engler is the board's pick to see Michigan State through a crisis triggered by, yes, multiple allegations of sexual assault brought by young women in the university's care.
Can I get a facepalm?
And can you fire a board of trustees en masse?
