Ed Rendell’s Book Launch Party

Last night at Xfinity Live, Ed Rendell celebrated the launch of A Nation of Wusses, in which the former Philadelphia mayor/Pennsylvania governor shares his current assessment of the nation (yes, he still thinks we’re wusses). Guests got signed copies of the book, due out June 4th, and when he thanked the crowd for coming, Rendell acknowledged the VIP makeup of the party with “this is the crowd that made me in politics.” Read the excerpt of A Nation of Wusses that appears in the June issue of Philadelphia magazine here.
