Governor X’s looming sex scandal(Details given by Prostitute point to PA Gov)

Mark Sanford is trying to win his wife’s forgiveness, said George Rush and Joanna Malloy in the New York Daily News, but another married governor could be headed toward “fresh hell.” A “high-end escort” who's already said she had rough sex with then–New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is claiming that she also had three sex “dates” with another of our “most prominent governors”—call him Gov. X—whose wife is “prominent in her own right.”

This story has to be “prompting a variety of quiet phone calls” among some governors' staff, said Moe Lane in RedState. As for the rest of us, the speculation begins. “Fortunately, there’s a dearth of male Republican governors of states within reasonable driving distance of NYC.”

Any Democratic governor “would likely have been brought down right alongside Eliot Spitzer,” said Teddy Partridge in Firedoglake. Whoever Gov. X is was in office in 2006, and has a “media-saavy-enough” staff to stop the Daily News from “printing his name,” even though it got a “carefully parsed denial” from his office.

“Let’s speculate recklessly!” said Gawker. Based on the criteria from the Daily News story, the most likely governors are, in order, Arnold Schwarzenegger (R, Calif), Ed Rendell (D, Pa), Jim Gibbons (R, Nev.), and Deval Patrick (D, Mass). We’d throw in Tim Pawlenty (R, Minn.), too, but only because he’s a potential 2012 GOP candidate.

Looks like this has some meat behind it.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Gotta be Faster Eddie Faster Rendell.

[Ann Archy]

Wonder if “FAST EDDIE” is.....never mind.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Rush hinted the state had a lot of Eagles...

[umgud]

ditto on Fast Eddie.

[domenad]

Discount?

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I don’t know much about Rendell. What signs from the article point to him?

[umgud]

Said there was a prominent wife?

Marjorie Rendell, judge, 3rd circuit court af appeales.

[Ann Archy]

Nooo... the “Fast” part

[Varda]

When Ed Rendell was running for governor the first time, he told a heartwarming story about visiting a prostitute when he was a teenager.

If it is him, the Dems of PA won’t care.

[grjr21]

“Let’s speculate recklessly!”

 

LOL

Gotta love it

[Ann Archy]

Same Hooker that Spitzer had??? Hey Fast Eddie.....Don’t BUY RE-TAIL!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

With that woman? YUCK.

[Helen]

...as in the Philadelphia Eagles?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Bingo.

[BenLurkin]

“high-end escort”

Is that the same thing as an expensive whore?

[Oldpuppymax]

With the “blonde” skank in the photo? Rendell better have stock in a penicillin company.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

There you go; taking all the romance out of it...

[Maelstorm]

I was listening to the radio while driving through PA and it seems the call girl has did everything but say his name. Rendell is in deep crap already so this would be the nail in his political coffin.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Fast Eddie ...

[csvset]

Prominent in her own right?

Marjorie Rendell is a Federal judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit who was appointed by President Bill Clinton.

How do the other governor's wives stack up against that?

[Texas resident]

Oh yes, but no one will mention his party. HMMM. wonder why. As for the picture, jeez, if that’s the best he can do, well never mind.

[Texas resident]

Probably wouldn’t happen, but what if fast eddie had to go before his judge wife?

[Maelstorm]

What can I say. Their tastes and sense are cut from the same cloth.

[supremedoctrine]

“he told a heartwarming story about visiting a prostitute
when he was a teenager.”
-——that’s called “priming the pump”.
On ALL levels.
When he said that, running for Gov.,he probably had already seen prosties as an adult,
but likely not this Spitzer-related group.
But when you go ahead and “prime” your constituency
with something like that, it’s in order to COVER what
you’ve done and are doing more recently.
I never liked Rendell, a true CLinton ButtBoy, anyway.
I remember how totally useless he was in the Don Adams
case when the Teamsters attacked DA, a Freeper, probably 11 years ago.

May he perish, or remain forever “tarnished”.
It’d be better if he perished due to his new role as
an Obamite, but I’ll take what I can get.

[Yorlik803]

He went to a Avis rent a slut. Why own a slut when you cant rent one for half the price.
But since he is a lefty, nothing will be made of this and it will pass.

[dearolddad]

Wonder if “FAST EDDIE” is.....never mind.

LOL!! You should be ashamed of yourself.

[4yearlurker]

I hope Rendell goes down big time. He's nothing but a union thug. Since he took office he has raised every tax,fee & toll he can get his slimy hands on. Some twice! Now he wants to raise the sales tax and income tax in PA again!!!!Thank you union voters.

[Vermont Lt]

Or they have long legs.

We need a fraking translator around these days to tell us what politicians are saying.

[norge]

Ahhh...I would think, maybe, Maria Shriver.

[Varda]

“that’s called “priming the pump”.”

That’s how I took it though the libertarian host doing the interview didn’t see a thing wrong with what he said.

Unless he gets arrested, I don’t see how this will really harm him. Hopefully I’m wrong but this is Pennsylvania.

[norge]

On the other hand, I think Arnold could do better than the pictured one, and probably gratis.

[VRWC For Truth]

Has to be a ‘Rat. If it was a GOP gov, it would have been out by now to distract from the disaster that is Urkel.

[P.O.E.]

She looks “prominent in her own right.”

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

[Erasmus]

That’s how I took it though the libertarian host doing the interview didn’t see a thing wrong with what he said.

Stab in the dark: Rollye James? I think she went to Philadelpia from Austin.

[Varda]

No if I recall correctly it was Mike Pintek in Pittsburgh.

[2harddrive]

Well, at least she was STIMULATING the economy......or something! LOL.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

“high-end escort”

Is that the same thing as an expensive whore?

No, that is a woman with a high waist (high-end) and long legs so that she won't tire as she escorts you.

[Tribune7]

Haven't seen anything in the local dino-media, yet.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

There was another article last night that gave all the hints - I’ll see if I can find it.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

——that’s called “priming the pump”.

Or perhaps priming the pimp, to let the procurers know he was in the market.

[Tamzee]

It was Rendell, no question whatsoever...

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Another tread has an interview with Opus & Andy (?) that said the hooker wrote the name on a peice of paper in the studio and they the hosts started dropping "hints" about coal, eagles, etc.

That's all i picked up, not sure of truthfulness or not, but figured i bring you up to speed with what i know is out there.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Why own a slut when you cant rent one for half the price.

Dems don't care about cost. They operate on OPM. Own, rent, buy - who cares?

[clintonh8r]

Yeah....the guy Hannity has a man-crush on. O’Reilly, too, I think.

[blastdad51]

For Dems this is a resume enhancement !!! Why would any of you think this would bring ol Fast Eddie down ?!!

[wastedyears]

No, this part will probably be at the end of the book he’ll release.

[Ray54]

[ConservativeMind]

He’s guilty!
