Talk about selective memory.

Gov. Rendell has nothing but praise for his departing State Police commissioner.

Wasn't Col. Jeffrey B. Miller the guy in charge during the Interstate 78 fiasco?

It's funny how nobody is bringing that up.

You remember the I-78 fiasco don't you? It wasn't that long ago. On Valentine's Day 2007, the state police couldn't figure out a way to close off an ice-covered highway, stranding more than 1,000 motorists on the road for up to 24 hours.

Miller should have been demoted or fired for his department's total lack of preparedness. But then again, Rendell should also have fired the head of PennDOT. The state's transportation department didn't have enough people or equipment to plow one of the busiest highways in the state during the middle of winter.

An independent report faulted every aspect of the Rendell administration's response to the storm, but especially singled out PennDOT and the State Police.

Oh well, what's the worst that could happen during an NFL game? I'm sure Miller can handle his new duties better than he responded to the I-78 fiasco.
