Rendell and Cosby on Larry King

Bill Cosby and Gov. Ed Rendell were on Larry King Live tonight to talk about the Pennsylvania budget. It was a brief segment and included a brief statement from State Sen. Dominic Pileggi. Rendell said the Senate Republicans were counting stimulus money, which will end eventually, and other funds earmarked for specific purposes, as part of their general education funding.

Cosby said it cost $5,000 to educate a child / year and $33,000 to keep someone incarcerated; so it makes more sense in the long run to keep kids in school than to let them get into trouble and eventually prison.

Cos was not at his most articulate but Rendell was more personable and charming than usual so it all balanced out.
