Ed Rendell says to "shoot Howard Dean" when asked about delegate problem

[JI7]

this man happens to be a current Governor of a state. for all the crap Michelle Obama is getting, there have been nothing against Rendell on this.



<Like when Rendell was asked recently what the Democratic National Committee should do about the valuable Michigan and Florida delegates it rejected as a penalty for those states' moving up their primaries.

"Shoot Howard Dean," Rendell, who once occupied Dean's seat as committee chairman, was quoted as saying in the Los Angeles Times.>

1. Fuck Ed Rendell. What an ass hole! nt

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

11. Imagine if a key Obama promoter had said that.

[JVS]

2. Too bad Rendell doesn't pull a Bud Dwyer.

[Zynx]

13. Woah. Not cool.

[JVS]

14. Why not? He's a scummy douchebag just like good old Bud

[Zynx]

29. No one should shoot themselves. Ever.

And certainly not on live TV.

[JVS]

31. That's your opinion. I think it would be a vast improvement over his current behavior

[tishaLA]

33. sorry, but that crossed a line

and it's indefensible.

[JVS]

36. It needs no defence. But I would rather he shoot himself than threaten Dean.

[NightWatcher]

3. what a true progressive asshat

let's find out who is running against him next election and be sure to send them lots of money

[eggman67]

30. That would be nobody

He's in his second term. PA Govs are term-limited to two terms.

[Kittycat]

4. POS... He's just lobbying himself for a seat next to Clinton's shady donors

[DJ13]

5. Why is it that so many Hillary supporters are willing to trash their own images..

....just to push her towards a nomination?

She's really not worth it, so why do it?

[XemaSab]

15. Why are crack whores willing to give BJ's in a filthy alley for 5 dollars?

:shrug:

[JVS]

18. for Crack

[XemaSab]

19. Exactly

n/t

[Bake]

21. OK. You lost me. Are you calling Sen. Clinton a crack whore now?

Maybe you're not. If not, then who IS the crack whore?

If you ARE, then I hope there's a tombstone in your future.

Bake

[XemaSab]

26. I'm not calling her a crack whore

I'm calling some of the politicians who have made complete asses out of themselves in the last few weeks for her crack whores.

Such as Ed Rendell in the OP, who apparently advocated shooting Howard Dean. :(

[JVS]

28. She doesn't have the integrity for that vocation.

[tishaLA]

34. LOL!

[tabasco]

6. How many Dems are going to swirl down the toilet with Hillary?

Maybe Rendell is planning on retiring.

[Liberal Veteran]

7. Um...wasn't he like head of the DNC during the 2000 election?

[Medusa]

8. Is it just me or does Rendell come off as a thug?

in interviews?

I loved how he tried to spin Michigan as a "win" today for Hillary on Meet the Press and when Russert called him on it, he just kept right on going and said "of course not" even though that's exactly what he'd just tried to do.

[Yurovsky]

10. I always thought the guy was mobbed up ...

and have no real reason to doubt my belief.

[still_one]

9. He is a thug, I would expect nothing less from him /nt

[jody]

12. It's Dean's job to find a way to let each vote count in FL & MI. n/t

[Hawkeye-X]

16. No it's not. It's actually the Rules Committee..

but whatever works for you.

Hawkeye-X

[XemaSab]

17. I don't think he wants to get into it with Howard Dean

[LiberalFighter]

20. DNC Chair doesn't make that decision without direction/input from members

[spag68]

22. Rendell

How do you go from mayor of Philly to Gov. and not be a little stained? He made me laugh last year when he "discovered" coal to gas as a new thing. In fact I helped to build a coal to methane gas plant in Pgh. in 1975, and we got the plans from a South Africa firm, who got them from nazi Germany which was using it in the thirty's.

[wisteria]

23. Rendell is a Clinton supporter through and through and we know the Clinton's

never liked Dean and even tried to get rid of him before the election by have Carville do their dirty work for them.
The problems with Florida and Michigan are not Dean's fault. The Clinton's and the Clinton's supporters like Rendell don't like ti when they don't control everything and can't change the rules.

[tishaLA]

35. not to mention the way Rendell failed to support Gore in 2000

[krkaufman]

24. What a monster.

Ack. I resign. I resign.

[thoughtcrime1984]

25. Yep, he's a worthless piece of shit. nt

[MagickMuffin]

27. That's how mobsters talk, don't ya know

The rules were already set in place before Howard won in 2005.

Terrence R. McAuliffe, is responsible for this mess, since he was head back in 2001-2005.

Should Terrence R. McAuliffe be shot instead?.?.?:shrug: by Rendell's logic.

[Cali_Democrat]

32. Ed Rendell is a DLC tool
