Pinning Down Jelly: Dealing with an Ed Rendell Shill

Over the Labor Day weekend, I sent a message via www.rendellforgovernor.com, pointing out that -- judging from their campaign propaganda -- the a priori odious Fisher seems more interested in public transportation than Ed Rendell is, mentioning the cuts in state funding for transit (particularly in Pittsburgh), and requesting Rendell's position on the Mon-Fayette Expressway.

A few days later, I received the rather vague reply below, and replied immediately requesting (again) Rendell's position on the Moron-Fuckit Excessway (in more polite terms). In minutes, I received the message immediately below.

Parrish, career opportunities await you at the Turnpike Commission; they need idiots like you.

What really bugs me, of course, is that I'll probably vote for Rendell despite this.


Addendum: I did vote for him; in early 2005, whatever his motives may be, Rendell restored transit funding in a stunningly sneaky performance that left the Legislature babbling incoherently. Now I get to vote for him again, against instacandidate Lynn Swann. Yay.

Does Ed Rendell have a position on the Mon-Fayette Expressway, and if
so, what is it?
