Rendell getting trashed on local Pittsburgh radio this morning

[RamboLiberal]

by Marty Griffin (hey I'm not a fan). Marty is trashing Ed for his fund-raising pledge on MTP for a do-over for MI and FL on PA taxpayer time and not raising funds for PA needs like volunteer firefighters. Also trashing him for Hillary support. Just found it interesting. BTW, KDKA is RW radio in Pittsburgh for the most part. But it also is 50,000 watt and a big player.

1. I'd be pissed too, but even more so if I lived in NJ.

I find it ironic that Governors of two struggling states want to raise millions to conduct elections in other states.

[TomClash]

2. Corzine could fund it himself nt

[Jersey Devil]

4. My thought as well, especially NJ

We have a fiscal crisis in NJ that Corzine has addressed so far only by floating a trial balloon that we raise tolls on our roads or sell the NJ Turnpike to private investors. This idea went over like a lead balloon and now he is back to square one trying to solve NJ's debt problem. So now he is going to change his attention from helping NJ to raise funds for elections in Fla and Michigan?

Well, he may help his friend Hillary get re-dos but it may very well come at the expense of making a Republican the governor of NJ next time around.

5. That might have been a mismatch. It is very hard for a state

to make a whole lot of cuts when its governor is swimming in $. Just screams "inequality".

[NDambi]

6. EXACTLY! NJ resident too!

[MonkeyFunk]

7. Why?

They're not using tax money.

[Jersey Devil]

10. Appearances regarding priorities

NJ is a fiscal mess and people want his full attention to try to plan a way to get out of it.

3. Lol! I called it!

That I could've advised him this was a bad idea, does not speak well for the political savvy of our "dear" Governor. :rofl:

13. Oh you know those hilary surrogates..

they'll throw themselves under a bus as well as the Obama supporter they're trashin' if it means brownie points with their girl.

[UALRBSofL]

8. It's understandable considering Pittsburgh is a high populated area

That someone would take offense to his endorsement of Hillary. As I have always said, you can't please everybody.

[RamboLiberal]

11. I don't think Fast Eddie has a lot of fans in Pittsburgh

We just voted for him last time cause he was the only alternative to a Republican much as we loved Lynn Swann as a Steeler, we didn't want Lynn for governor.

[JVS]

14. No. He's not liked.

[JimGinPA]

9. Rendell Sure Has Disappointed Me Lately...

He came off as a complete buffoon yesterday on MTP.

[truedelphi]

12. Did you get a chance to hear him on Bill Maher

Two Fridays ago?

What a pompous douche!

He basically announced that the TRUTH of the election is that Hillary is a stateswoman and that Obama is a cheerleader, and also that if the masses of the unwashed populace vote for Obama over Senator CLinton, then the Superdelegates will undo our stupidity and make sure tha Hillary wins the nomination.

Very nobless oblige.

Of course all I coul dthink is, this guy should put it where the sun don't shine.

[BklynChick]

15. the more I hear him, the more I cannot stand Ed Rendell. Do the folks in PA like him?

[scheming daemons]

17. Not those of us on the Western end.... he's pro-Philly on everything....

...and we yinzers resent it.

[Cha]

18. But, wouldn't Obama be more

likely to shine in Philly?

[goclark]

19. My cousin in Pulilly hates him and they are working

for Obama in Philly.

He said Rendell is a real jerk.

[Doctor_J]

16. So hate radio is bashing a Dem?

You're kidding! :eyes:
