Bill Clinton.. His real last name is Blythe

OK, yes, I see that.   So, actually.....there are at least two:    As  Gerald Ford was born Leslie King....and had his name changed after adoption,  similar to  Clinton.

@gunz41 said:

Not from adoption though, his mother remarried and thus his name changed. Ford was adopted and name changed

Yeah , I had forgotten that.. I just knew he wasnt born a Clinton.

That would be his stepfather's name....but he was not adopted....as far as I know.

But....trivia question:

Which President  WAS born with a different name that was change after adoption?   As far as I know....there was just one.

Rutherford B. Hayes?   He is the only guy I know that is close to being from anywhere near the name of Kenya.    He went to Kenyon College.

Yep she's still a spring chicken at 78.

I was under the impression she passed away not long after Joe... I was unaware of the lung cancer.. The same thing took my father back in 08 COPD.

Careful doing that autopsy on Mrs. Paterno ... She's still alive.

--Joe had lung cancer. He spent his final 9 days in the hospital, it wasn't a mystery.

@nickers said:

The whole thing that freaks me out about that whole news.. Was how suddenly Paterno and his wife passed so suddenly afterword... Its almost uncanny..... Would love to read both autopsy reports on them.. I just find it too convenient.. They're deceased.

You'd be surprised how many Americans will continue to love someone in power they support regardless of the avalanche of proof of how morally-bankrupt said person is.

Al Pacino‘s performance as legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno in the HBO original movie Paterno is awfully impressive. Here he is, playing a guy known for being essentially a pair of sunglasses and a windbreaker jacket for the last 10 years of his career at least, who coached into his mid-80s and whose career was cut short by a sex scandal involving one of his assistant coaches, Jerry Sandusky, who was accused or raping many young boys via his position as a coach and director of a youth camp. As the scandal quickly unfolded in the fall of 2011, Paterno soon became embroiled as he was accused of ignoring evidence and claims that the abuse was happening and either turning a blind eye towards it or enabling........

Is this the one on Netflix? 

I found the outpouring of love toward Paterno that came from Penn State fans after the allegations very disturbing.

But no, it's not on Netflix, it's on HBO.

However, in Barley's defense, he's been compared to Marshall Faulk.  Well, Faulk wasn't a 'move the pile 4 yards' type of back either.  But he could run, make people miss and catch.  Kinda' like Duke.  We can pick up a RB later.

How did the PSU fan like "Paterno" on HBO? 

The Penn State fans in my family won't watch it, because its easier to deny the truth and be complicit I guess.
