Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Sunday Whispers:

We would never say that Catherine Baker Knoll is too elderly or ineffectual to perform her duties as Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor.

Why would we? We have Democrat Senate leader Robert Mellow to do it for us.

The Harrisburg Patriot-News reported that Mellow, of Lackawanna County, recently screamed at Knoll, "You're too old! You're incompetent!" Mellow and Knoll's office both denied the remarks were made, but several senators and officials confirmed the outburst.

Hint to Mellow: Next time you castigate Knoll, don't do it in front of witnesses on the Senate floor.

Mellow apparently was frustrated following a Republican maneuver that prevented Democrats from offering amendments to a bill to rewrite parts of the state's new gambling law.

As for the 74-year-old Knoll, the Patriot-News reported that she once again publicly referred to Gov. Edward G. Rendell as the late actor Edward G. Robinson, famous for his portrayal of gangsters. Knoll made the slip while reading a proclamation to a Latino group from the governor.
