How many times have politicians been warned about the dangers of an open microphone? And yet, on Tuesday, the lectern mic at the National Governors Conference picked up this little nugget from Pennsylvania's Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell.

He's having a conversation near the lectern about President-elect Barack Obama's choice for to lead the Homeland Security Department, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano. Here is what Rendell said about Napolitano:

Rendell: 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

Wow. Now, I'm sure Gov. Napolitano has many qualifications for the job beyond having no family, and therefore the ability to devote 20 hours a day to the job. Watch Campbell Brown's commentary

But it is fascinating to me that that is the quality being highlighted here as so perfect. C'mon. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is married with two grown children. His predecessor, Tom Ridge, had a family. Anybody remember a debate about whether they would have trouble balancing the demands of work and family?

Listen to the video at http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/02/cam...dell/index.html

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

Silly....men don't have to worry about their families. Only women do!

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

but i thought dems were all supporters of womens rights? :whistle:

What's that to do with 'women's rights'? He probably just doesn't like the woman - being liked isn't a political ideology.

Refusing to use the spellchick!

I have put you on ignore. No really, I have, but you are still ruining my enjoyment of this site. .

I don't know why everyone was so hard on Sarah for taking her kids everywhere she went.

Look what happens when she leaves them alone...they get knocked up.

Well, she did rack up quite the bill at the end of the campaign. Just too many little ones flying on private planes and stuff.

Yep that was a pretty unfortunate thing to say...

Of course its really no different to the sort of banter that probably goes on in most offices, so I'm not sure why this gaffe makes the guy some sort of terrible a$$hole.

Because he should do it like the rest of us. Behind closed doors. Duh! :bonk:
