Can Someone Get The Big Vaudeville Hook For Ed Rendell?

Nice guy. I know a young woman who sold him a time share in Orlando. Said he was unpretentious. That's all I need to know about a pol. But he needs to get off the "Romney has momentum" narrative.

WTF moments when listening to Rendell talk about what the gop is doing and what the Democratic Party should be doing ... that whole false equivalence/look I'm being balanced thing.

Since 2008 when he was Clinton surrogate in the primaries, he has never spoken well of President.

We should just ignore him as we do Cory Booker's and Mark Halperin's of the world

.... even though he was chairman of the DNC, he was one of the first Democratic 'leaders' to throw Al Gore under the bus in 2000.

And, if you can ever watch the documentary movie "The Art of the Steal" you will see what a consummate establishment insider this guy is.

He's one of those Democrats who always seem to have this unspoken belief that in the end Republicans are superior and are destined to win.
