HP: "I think it is a joke," Rendell said, explaining that there was only five inches of snow on the ground when the game would have started. "I was looking forward to this. It would have been a real experience. This is what football is all about. We're becoming a nation of wussies."
The game was supposed to be played on Sunday night, but it was moved to Tuesday for safety concerns.
I first met the Guv at a campaign event in 2002 at the Riverfront in Plains organized by then Luzerne County Controller Steve Flood. I told him to get past the election stuff and get back on CSN for the Eagles pre and post-game shows like when he was Mayor of Philadelphia that may have helped him win the primary against Bob Casey. He won the general election defeating Atty. General Mike Fisher 53% to 44%. He won reelection in a blowout in 2006 over Steelers great Lynn Swann 60%-40%.
Many people dubbed him Fast Eddie, especially his political opponents. I think that is disrespectful so I prefer Rapid Edward that a commenter on GrassrootsPA that is now The Keystone Report (gotta fix that link) came up with. Thanks Conservative Goddess.
PN: In 2004, Rendell’s car was clocked at traveling more than 100 mph several times
in a four-month period.
Huh. I thought you named him "Rapid Edward" for his famous contempt for speed limits while traveling the state.
