Rendell: If I Was Palin, I’d Be Getting Impeached

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) tells The Huffington Post’s Sam Stein that while Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) claims to be a reformer, she is anything but.

“She is being investigated on the charge that she used her power as governor to fire someone who was going through a messy divorce with a relative of hers. Could you imagine if I was doing the same thing in Pennsylvania? You would be calling for my impeachment,” Rendell said.

Rendell added that the McCain campaign “has tried to again obscure the facts about Gov. Palin. ‘She is a reformer and against earmarks.’ No she isn’t, when she was mayor of that town she hired a lobbyist to get earmarks… ‘She was against the bridge to nowhere.’ No she wasn’t. She was for the bridge to nowhere first… She is a budget balancer. But she left the town in greater debt then when she became mayor, so she is not a budget balancer.”
