NJ politics

Well, sure you've all heard, but McGreevey is gay and resigning from his position. Quite a shocking announcement, if you ask me. (Though I vaguely remember that the fact that he's gay has been a topic of gossip since his election.)

Lots of debate swirling now ... is he resigning because of fundraising controversy, corruption and other things he's being targeted for? For the civil suit against him by a former male aide? For having an affair with that aide?

Probably saw his chances better this way after how the Clinton ordeal blew up.

Even by NJ standards McGreevey is far from "an honorable politician". The sleeze factor has been steadily overtaking his administration for a while.

I don't think he is resigning simply because he is gay(which, while not necessarily public knowledge before today, has been a longstanding rumor) or because he had a gay affair. My suspicion is that it is a pre-emptive action and that there is a lot more here that may or may not become public, depending on how aggressive the media is in following up this story.

Edwin Edwards (D-LA) once bragged that the only way he could lose was to be caught with a live boy or a dead girl. I fear McGreevey's next revelation.

Oh dear, the Gov was a victim of the MOSSAD. Well that's a relief, I was afraid he was a victim of his own damn stupidity.
