A back-handed compliment for Janet
Opps. Those pesky open mics! It happened to Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell yesterday. Talking about Gov. Janet Napolitano selection as Homeland Security Secretary, Rendell said, "“Janet’s perfect for that job. Because for that job, you have to have no life. Janet has no family. Perfect. She can devote, literally, 19, 20 hours a day to it.” Read the Christian Science Monitor account.

You'll also want to pay attention to CNN's Campbell Brown on the sexism of Rendell's remark. It's in the same article.
