Gov. Rendell: "Don't Ask Me Again" About PhillyMag Story

POSTED: Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 6:29 PM

Gov. Rendell doesn't want to answer any more questions about his friendship with Kirstin Snow, the director of Commonwealth Media Services, now that Philadelphia Magazine has prepared a story in which Rendell and Snow deny rumors of a romance.  Leaving a meeting in Harrisburg this afternoon, Rendell shot down questions from reporters about the story and Snow.  Click here to watch a video of that, via Roxbury News.

Here's what Rendell had to say:  "No comment. It’s personal. It’s between me and my family. There’s no governmental interest here. What I said and what Dr. Snow said in Philadelphia magazine is the truth. That’s it. Don’t ask me again."

    Anybody having an affair with Rendell would have to immediately go to an eye doctor for a thorough examination. Or to a head shrinker because there is something seriously wrong.

    Quite surprising -- -- I always thought he could not make out in a woman's prison with a handful of pardons

    the only way the governor would have an affair would be if she had a slot machine attached to her

    Is she attracted to the combover or that bag of gravel in gullet?

    Are skeletons in Gov. X's closet starting to rattle (again)? Maybe that's why so many staff members have quit on him in his second term. Hmmm.

    This guy's a "legend in his own mind". Loves all the attention and face time. I heard Snow makes a wicked cheesesteak. The only thing that I think of immediately is "Sanford and friends". What is in the water these governor's are drinking???

    Who the hell cares? Thirteen imbeciles have commented thus far on this nothing of a story. I doubt all thirteen are totally pure. I'm the 14th and I know I aint! Wouldn't it be nice if writers, reporters and editors had to answer the same questions that they ask?

    Get lost, Spendell. I feel safer when he is not in Harrisburg running us into deeper debt.
