Campbell Brown Chastises Ed Rendell

Were Rendell's comments sexist? Probably - but Campbell Brown is correct in saying that single women are also likely to be taken advantage of by bosses; working extra hours, taking on tasks no one else wants. That can go ditto for single men as well.
Don't you think Bush may have at least considered the fact that Condoleeza Rice had no children or husband when he gave her two high level positions in his cabinet? Or Janet Reno with Bill Clinton? Part of this is how we are socialized in society, but let's be honest - the burden of child care falls almost exclusively on mothers, fairly or unfairly.

You're a "progressive" of course you think this chick is harping about nothing.

You guys don't care about sexism you revel in it.

How can Ed Rendell be considered sexist when his candidate-of-choice was Hillary Clinton?

Ed Rendell is wrong, but not because Janet Napolitano has no family, but because as Governor of Arizona, Napolitano has done nothing to secure the border with Mexico, except to complain about the Bush Administration.

In fact, she and (Democrat) Phoenix, Arizona Mayor, Phil Gordon fought every effort by Maricopa County Attorney (Republican) Andrew Thomas and (Republican) Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, to catch and deport illegal aliens. And now, she allegedly asked Obama appointee Eric Holder to investigate Arpaio.

As a Phoenix resident, I appreciate Sheriff Arpaio’s efforts to uphold existing law. Most important, the enforcement effort is working! School enrollment for the children of illegal aliens is down, as is Emergency Room treatment for uninsured illegals. With no work and increased likelihood of being caught and deported, illegal entry into Arizona has fallen dramatically!

Napalitano’s claim to fame is her campaign support for Obama, and her reward is to become the top officer responsible to keep America safe? What a stunning collection of retread hacks!

As a single, professional female, I support and understand Campbell's remarks. Under no circumstance, would anything even close be said about a male (married or single) in a similar situation.

Did Campbell Brown defend Sarah Palin when she was criticized for neglecting her family to run for office? Just asking.

i never heard her say anything about that when the press was villifying sarah palin for "abandoning" her family for washington politics... me thinks thou dost protest too much... oh, wait, what WAS i thinking - she's a republican, and therefore, there is always open season on them, right, campbell?... as animal farm says, "some pigs are more equal than others!"...

CNN, MSNBC, FOX, are all becoming irrevelent -- same old blather from all -- "Oh, Oh! I've got my panties in a bunch because somebody worded something that I can take offense to." We're turning into a Country of wimps and malcontents.

Couldn't have said it better Jane. And she has the nerve to be upset. New slogan, "All Bias, All Bull".

CAMPBELL BROWN GOT HER ASS RAN OFF AT NBC BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO MAKE NEWS INSTEAD OF REPORTING IT. YOU NEVER KNOW FROM DAY TO DAY WHAT SIDE OF ANY STORY SHE'S GOING TO BE ON. IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE CNN RUNS HER ASS OFF ALSO.

I do think that it's a fine line but I would not consider his commnets as sexist. Insensitive maybe but not sexist.

Who is Campbell Brown and why would anyone care?

"By way of inference, no life!" Isn't that like putting words in Ed's mouth? Cambell Brown is just a royal pain in the ass who wants attention. If Napolitano has no kids, then that leaves her with time on her hands. What's so sexist about that? And, I agree with whomever said Napolitano's only claim to fame was campaigning for 'that one' Of all the people who Cambell could have attacked on sexism, it sure shouldn't be Rendell who campaigned his heart out for Hillay.

David S. is on the mark. Rendell is nothing if not realistic and blunt. Ms. Brown takes that as sexist in this case, and I sincerely believe Rendell did not mean it like that at all.

Rendell has his faults but this is a mountain being made of a molehill.

typical American television... a waste of time!
As James would say... 'talkin' loud, and sayin' nothin'
