Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell’s limo has been clocked by State Troopers going over 100 mph nine times since November.

The governor’s office issued a carefully worded statement from the governor.

“I am not aware of any instance of my executive detail being cited for driving at unlawfully high rates of speed. I depend on my detail to drive me to and from my many appointments each day … and they serve me well,” Rendell’s statement read….

Of course the State Police aren’t citing the Governor’s car, which is driven by a State Trooper. Aside from professional courtesy, ticketing the Governor is a sure way to miss a promotion. And, yes the drivers are serving him well, from the perspective of getting him from one place to another in as little time as possible.

The governor said he has asked state police Commissioner Jeffrey Miller to review the reports of his car speeding.

In other words, find out who those State Troopers are who painted him on radar those nine times and make sure any Troopers don’t talk if they do it again.
