Should We Call Rendell "Eduardo the First"?
Catherine Lucey
Filed Under: Rendell | Statehouse
Our man in Harrisburg, John Baer, reports that Gov. Rendell yesterday said at a capitol press conference that there’s only one answer to the Legislature’s inability to get things done: “Monarchy.” He then offered to serve his last year in office as a “benevolent dictator.”
You think there's something to the idea?

Fast Eddie is the worst governor in the history of this commonwealth. Take him back, Philadelphia, we don't want anymore of this tax-and-spend windbag.— pscott520- Let's call the U.S. Attorney General instead...about "The Rendell Murders"/shorting public safety since 2003 to pay for "No Bid and Inappropriate" contracts to the tune of over $60 MILLION! Look at all the murders, rapes, Civil Rights Violations and destroyed families "Teflon Ed" is responsible for. What a "LEGACY" it is. Eric Holder, U.S. Attorney General...where the hell are you!?— John Law
- Phooey!— FJG JR
- If Fast Eddie promotes tyranny then I shall promote sedition.— junethe4th
