I’m watching Princeton / Penn basketball on the tube. Earlier in the game, the cameras showed Rendell in attendance sitting by & chatting with Fox pollster Frank Luntz. Both were seriously chowing down on nachos & hotdogs.
I’ve sat immediately in front of Eddie at several games at the Palestra. He eats like a champ, and really used to work the refs. To his credit he is no “John Kerry sports fan”; he really knows the game. I took my son and daughter one night, and when we left I asked if they had had a good time. My 10 year daughter said “yeah, but who was that jerk sitting behind us.” I told her it was the Mayor of Philadelphia, Ed Rendell.
