Selective Sex Scandals from Left Media: Still no focus on "Governor X" Eddie Rendell

Okay to be a hypocrite on Sex Freedom issues only if you're a Democrat

by Eric Dondero

One week and a day now, since Kristen Davis made her stunning over-the-top hints on the Opie & Anthony Sirius/XM radio show, that the mysterious Governor 'X' is indeed Eddie Rendell of Pennsylavania. But still no coverage in the mainstream media.

Take the Nation's Number One gossipist, Perez Hilton. Today Mssr. Hilton has a banner headline story about a sex scandal involving an obscure Tennessee State Senator. A guy named Paul Stanley (no not the same member of KISS), who by all accounts is a wonkish budget committee member, apparently had an affair with a 22-year old intern. The guy was blackmailed by the intern's boyfriend into admitting the affair. He's resigning his seat.

And lo and behold he's a "Republican."

Hilton makes the case, that makes him a hypocrite, cause he undoubtably is opposed to gay marriage. Maybe? Maybe not?

But if it's hypocrisy you're looking for look no further than Fast Eddie.

Last week, after the story broke, we revealed a statement Rendell made to the media last year, comparing legalized prostitution with "contract killings."

And on gay issues, Rendell has been even quicker to condemn.

Late last year, when Janet Napolitano was being considered as Homeland Security Secretary, fellow Governor Rendell snickered to some Democrat colleagues, that "Janet has no life. She is perfect for the job, cause she has no family..." The comments were made by Rendell on an open mic, that he presumed was shut off. CNN picked it up, and enhanced the sound.

It was obvious to commentators and others that Rendell was making a reference to Napolitano's sexuality.

See LR's original story on the matter, Dec. 8, 2008, "Dem Gov. Ed Rendell outs fellow Democrat Janet Napolitano at Governor's conference."

So, how about it Mr. Gossip columnist? Here you have a sitting Governor who is strongly alleged to have had an affair with a high-priced hooker, using the very same escort service as Elliot Spitzer. Not too mention the fact that he has been a big hypocrite on sex freedom issues, including gays. And you're talking about an obscure State Senator from Tennessee all because he's a - gasp! - Republican? Yet, not a single mention of Rendell.
