Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease

FOX: Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell announced Monday that he is battling Parkinson’s disease.

Rendell — Pennsylvania’s two-term governor from 2003 through 2010 — said the original diagnosis of early onset Parkinson’s was made three and a half years ago.

“I always viewed myself as indestructible,” Rendell, 74, said during a press conference at Pennsylvania Hospital.

Rendell also told reporters that his mother suffered from the disease during the last 13 years of her life.

Rendell said he wanted to make his diagnosis public so that he could stress to others the importance of catching the disease in its early stages.  more here

  1. Doubt he’ll seek Jesus, he’s Jewish. A veteran, an advocate of Capital Punishment, an overall good egg, imo, with the huge exception that he’s a D and supported Hitlery (likely as payback for Clinton/Gore support he benefitted from).

    An insignificant story, but telling nontheless:
    “On December 26, 2010, the Philadelphia Eagles home game against the visiting Minnesota Vikings was postponed before any snow had fallen due to an impending blizzard in Philadelphia. Rendell said of the postponement, “My biggest beef is that this is part of what’s happened in this country. We’ve become a nation of wusses. The Chinese are kicking our butt in everything. If this was in China do you think the Chinese would have called off the game? People would have been marching down to the stadium, they would have walked and they would have been doing calculus on the way down.”[57] As a result, the grounds crew piled snow on his reserved seat the following game, and topped it with a sign that said “This seat reserved for non-wusses”.[58]—from Wikipedia

    Bear in mind, he was Mayor of Filthadelphia and dealt with goon Labor criminals as their Dem. leader.
