Do they vet people who are in line for the Presidential Metal of Freedom, or not?

I guess not:
Pennsylvania’s senators on Thursday announced they no longer support awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Joe Paterno, the former Pennsylvania State University football coach.
[...]
“In light of the recent events in State College, we are rescinding our support for the nomination of Joe Paterno for the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” Sens. Bob Casey (D) and Pat Toomey (R) said in a joint statement.
WTF? Did they do their “do diligence” in nominating people or is it all about being star-struck?
I think I know the answer.
What. A. Racket.
What. A. Farce.

Yeah, and Santorum didn’t do any due diligence for Sandusky’s award, either.
