Description"At this point, Chicago probably wishes somebody would just seal former Gov. Ed Rendell's mouth with duct tape already.

He was referring to comments by Obama's deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, that Romney may have committed a felony by signing filings with the FEC that indicated he was the CEO of Bain for nearly three years after he said he left the company, in 1999.
