This incident isn't cited to condemn Rendell. His decision to head off the march probably spared the city a lot of heartache.
But consider what the Clinton camp and the media have put Obama through because of Farrakhan's unsolicited endorsement.
Did Clinton demand that Rendell "denounce" or "reject" his association with Farrakhan? Did she condition her cooperation with the governor on his distancing himself from the Nation of Islam?
Can a mule whistle?
Clinton simply demonstrated her uncanny ability to condemn someone for behavior that is more applicable to her own camp. Some might call that hypocrisy; others, unmitigated gall. She calls it winning.
Obama, on the other hand, can't play the victim. He needs to take to heart another tune. Billy Ocean's 1985 hit: "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going."
