Oh, Rendell does think he is bill clinton and can do whatever he wants and get away with it. Like bang holly without getting a divorce from his wife, who is a Federal Judge in Philly.
TWO NAMES ALL PA VOTERS SHOULD KNOW BEFORE the ELECTION:
Lisa DePaulo

Gore's DNC Pick Got Crude and Lewd with Female Reporter
During his debate with former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley last Wednesday, Vice President Al Gore felt compelled to apologize for his boss's behavior with Monica Lewinsky.
"I understand the disappointment and anger that you feel toward President Clinton, and I felt it myself," Gore said when asked how he could change America's cynical attitude about modern politicians.
But if Gore was as angry as he says over Clinton's Lewinsky affair, media insiders are starting to wonder why he picked Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell to head up the Democratic National Committee -- given Rendell's own reputation for womanizing.
In April 1994, Rendell was profiled in Philadelphia magazine by reporter Lisa DePaulo, who spent an afternoon traveling with him to New York to meet Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
By DePaulo's account, Rendell started the trip by explaining to her that he and Bill Clinton had much in common. Then he attempted to prove his point.
"I probably shouldn't say this, because it might not be taken right," DePaulo quoted Rendell as saying, "but Clinton and I are very much alike."
The mayor pointed out that Clinton and he are both "gregarious and fun," both have big hearts, like junk food, love politics and are married to successful women. Then Rendell added with a laugh, "You can draw some other conclusions."
Based on what? Perhaps on Rendell's raunchy behavior toward the reporter, culminating in his attempt to bed her.
According to DePaulo, when something she was wearing set off the metal detector at New York's City Hall, Rendell squawked as guards looked on, "Take it off, Lis! Take everything off."
Later on, Rendell attempted to debunk rumors of his own Clintonesque recklessness:
"When all this b---s--t popped up during my campaigns about me using my power position to abuse women," Rendell told DePaulo, "that's not true. I've never done anything to hurt women -- or men."
"There's got to be a statute of limitations on this stuff," Rendell added, ostensibly referring to the then-new charges by Arkansas state troopers that Bill Clinton used them to help stock his harem.
After making excuses for both Clinton and himself, Rendell decided the moment was right to explore his prospects for a less professional relationship with the reporter.
Rendell said he'd heard "something very interesting about me," DePaulo reported. Then the mayor proceeded to describe, "in raw and alliterative terms, how he presumes I am in bed. All of which he says I 'should find flattering.'"
DePaulo was offended enough to blow the whistle on Rendell's thinly veiled proposition, which she recounted as follows:
"It was cute, for example, at the train station -- after I noticed he'd forgotten his bag in the car -- when he gave me a little hug and said, 'Lis, you're a lifesaver. I owe you one.'"
"It was still pretty cute a few minutes later on the train platform: 'Anything your heart desires. No task is too menial, too trivial or too abject.' Later in the train, it's a little less cute as he's going through his itinerary: 'They didn't schedule any time for me to do whatever you ask me to. Remember, I owe you one.'"
"Even the following morning, he's still on this rant: He hopes to squeeze in a workout at the Plaza Hotel, he tells me. 'Or,' he adds, 'you can get your favor then.'"
With Ed Rendell at the helm of the DNC, it looks like Al Gore may be in for some more anger and disappointment.
Absolutely. I can and do. Fair game in every case. If anything, I hold Republicans to a higher standard than Democrats.
Just goes to show the radio guy's ignorant bias. Harvard is a liberal bastion of academic snootery and shifty, disengenous misinformation. Those attending Vo-Tech pursue careers involving straightforward, honest labor.
Typical blonde bimbo liberal presstitute.
They're a dime a dozen, cheaper if you're a 'Rat running for office.
Hot? Maybe... but IMHO hot and smelly... like a damp, overripe gym locker...
While there may be some validity for the stereotype, I don't particularly care for that generalization.
There are many, many highly intelligent people who pursue Vo-Tech careers. Perhaps due to economic limitations, perhaps because that's simply where their abilities and interests lie.
I'm quite certain that you're totally indiscriminate in matters of fornication.
Some people are simply fixated that way, taking whatever they can get, whenever and whereever they can get it.
It's a disgustingly regressive, self-destructive trait. Sorry to hear that you're so afflicted.
