Eagles workers leave pile of snow in governor's seat

By Chris Chase

Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell lamented that the delay of the Philadelphia Eagles game due to this weekend's blizzard was another example of America turning into a "nation of wussies." On Tuesday night, the staff at Lincoln Financial Field did its best to ensure that Rendell doesn't join the unmanly masses.

When Rendell took his front row seat at the team's game against the Minnesota Vikings, he was greeted with a pile of snow and a sign declaring that the seat was for "non-wussies" only. Six hundred workers had spent the previous 48 hours clearing snow out of the stands but managed to leave a little bit for the governor, who had said he would have preferred to have watched the game during the blizzard.

Rendell's initial comments skewed toward blowhard territory (saying the Chinese never would have canceled a game, for instance), but you have to appreciate that he can take it just as well as he dishes it. He sat outside in the elements, laughed off the joke and even refused to wear a winter hat on his bald head to better project his machismo. Maybe there's hope for the U.S. yet.

1. At least it wasn't yellow snow. nt

3. I'm kind of surprised it wasn't.

2. *snort* Heh.

That's pretty clever, actually. Rendell's kind of a windbag and he should have kept his mouth shut.

4. Oh gawd no - that's the beauty of Fast Eddie!

And he's the type that would enjoy what those shovelers did to his seat too!

7. He thought it was pretty funny, and sat next to the seat so as not to disturb it....n/t

5. At least he took it well

bushie would have been crying to daddy about how they didn't clean his seat, and then would say the military needed to attack since they insulted him.

6. it wasn't that they couldn't play the game in the snow, it was the transportation problems

the NFL has played numerous games in similar conditions. But it would have been played in an empty stadium, or somebody may have gotten hurt or killed trying to get to/from the game. Rendell knows that, he was just trying to make a clever soundbite.

8. Rendell's language

needs a dose of Progressiveness. Woman + Pussy = Wussy. The worst thing you can call anyone is anything to do with the Feminine.

I hope he never gets f*cked again....and goes blind.
