Ed Rendell can kiss my ass.

He just said there can be no deal without "shared pain" on Alex Wagner's show on MSNBC. The middle class and working poor have born all the pain for the last thirty plus years!

He just constantly pisses me off with his pro business upper class agenda!

I guess if we take away the catfood from some old lady, she can share the same pain as if we ask a millionaire to pay $25,000 dollars more in taxes??

WTF. We just had the President on asking us all to take an action step that could have impact on the process. Then the first thing these two--ostensibly belonging to the left-- is to start shooting it down. Issenberg was just as bad. No encouragement at all. I do believe that yesterday Martin Bashir by way of full disclosure mentioned that Rendell is associated with some one of these think type groups like Fix the Debt or some such. Rendell has an iron in the fire. He's not an independent observer by any means.

not elected to anything now.

doesn't seem to know much, he's constantly misrepresenting the side he's brought on tv to represent.

there's no reason to put him on the air, why is he on?

he represents nobody, he has no connection to what's going on, he is not a journalist nor expert on the federal process, having held no federal role in his elected career.

stop interviewing this guy about congressional issues he has no expertise on, has no role in and offers no informed insight.
