Mr. Rendell, tear down this ring!

POSTED: Monday, February 7, 2011, 4:45 PM

Wow, that didn't take long!

Gov. Rendell and his wife, U.S. District Court Judge Marjorie “Midge” Rendell, announced in an e-mail to friends today that they will be “living separately” now that they have left the Governor’s Mansion in Harrisburg.

But don’t let that prevent anyone from sending them invitations to the same party, the parting couple advised. The split after four decades of marriage is “amicable” and they won’t find it awkward or uncomfortable to socialize together.

Wonder if they both got bored of him hanging around the house these last 10 days, babbling insanely about barefoot Chinese people doing calculus problems....

Their marriage has been a sham for years. Ed loves the "working" girls.

It is a sad thing when a marriage dissolves. I just hope that Comcast dumps his sleazy, football-clueless behind from the Eagles post game show. He should focus on his part time job of narrating "Girls Gone Wild" videos.

So Rendel keeps his nickname true, "fast eddie." I wonder how long this has remained a marriage of professional convenience for him.

I understand that Midge was once a tall, willowy blonde. Ed might remember that with affection, but I guess that is not enough for him. Politicians do think the world should rotate about them, even half-way decent politicians.

wonder when a member of his security detail will write a book? Between being Mayor and Governor, many pages will be filled. May even be a chapter on Midge and Manny.

My memories of "fast eddie" go way back to his first campaign for D.A.; his campaign HQ's was above the Rite Aid at 15th & Market; I worked on his campaign (voluntarily); I remember his friendship with Buzz (Schuman); Bill Green, Jr.; one of his "aides" a/k/a bodyguards who shall remain nameless, but you could never ask the bodyguard for a sip of what the guy was drinking cause it was inevitably laced with Vodka, be it coffee, tea, milk or coke. Eddie was was running then because I knew one of the girls he was running; that was when he still lived in Center City; Midge was ever the lady, always polite, the perfect hostess; she does not deserve this kind of treatment.

None of us here know the reason for the split and so should not assume the worse. Why can we not just wish both of them the best going forward. Why can't we bless them. Why do we always have to curse someone and look for blame instead of good?
