In an appearance on Meet the Press on Sunday, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell was asked by Tim Russert if he thought the Clinton campaign should “fire Mark Penn?” Rendell’s responded, in what appeared to be a nervous smile on his face, “Well, there are a lot of issues in which you can raise that question.” He continued, “I think you’ve got to make it very clear, when you are someone who is a consultant, who you are representing and who you are not representing. And I would hope that Mr. Penn, when he talked to the Colombians, made that clear. It doesn’t sound like he did and that’s something the campaign should take into question.”
