Right smack dab in the middle of an interview during which Neil Cavuto was bashing Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell said he thought Fox "did the best job" covering primary and convention news. Rendell now officially joins the likes of Lanny Davis at being utterly clueless as to what Fox is all about.
Can you believe that Rendell didn't notice what was going on here:
Cavuto introduced Rendell (over this chyron, "Did Obama Let Clinton Hijack the Dem Convention?"): "Meanwhile, to what has been called the Clinton convention. Did Senator Barack Obama just blink? Growing outrage today over his decision to give Hillary Clinton exactly what she and her supporters want — a roll call vote on the convention floor." Reaction now from Ed Rendell. Governor, "you know how this plays out? Obama blinked and that he's, you know, kowtowing to the Clintons. That, you know, Bill's gonna speak in prime time. Hillary's going to speak in prime time. Chelsea's going to introduce her mom. I think there's a targeted speech for Socks
the cat, if it's still around. You know what I'm saying? That it's gotten a little out of control."
Rendell said that was, "A lot of sound and fury signifying nothing." Hillary Clinton has been "very strong" on the need to "look forward" and to "concentrate on electing Obama" and she's even done that "in the face of a number of her supporters who are trying to dig in their heels." This is Obama's "way, and I think it's a good way," to try to "diffuse the rest of the bitterness out there...It'll be fun."
