Again, think like a shifty, devious, criminal dem. Today's announcement was a preemptive diversion. It surfaced an issue. How many crapweasel dems have you seen that have resigned in the face of prove of filth, corruption or dishonesty? IIRC, two other dem governors (West Virginia & ?) have admitted committing adultry with a state employee in the past year. They (with the "help and support of thier wives") have been able to put the unfortunate incident behind them and move on.
By the end of next week, this will become a fairy issue. All the left-wing crapweasels in the media and Hollywood will say how brave he was for "coming out" and that the nation should not lose such a fine public servant just because he plays for the other team.
By raising the issue at this time, he hopes to exhaust opposition in the near term so he can respond to the "public outcry" of "folks who are not mean-spirited" and announce, maybe, mid-September that he has changed his mind and decided not to submit a letter of resignation to the state legislature.
Never be surprised by the blatant dishonesty of a dem politican or spokesman!
You're probably thinking of former Gov. Paul Patton (D-KY)
I agree completely Tacis! A local Philadelphia station led with the story then broke to their "Jersey correspondent" that said, the Governor's announcement was answered by locals with "disbelief and then 'acceptance'." What a crock, he found a few folks that said that and kept the rest of the public off the air!
If McGreedy were a Republican, there would be nationwide outrage at his postponing his exit date until November!
I agree..."the overwhelming support and outpouring of sympathy have convinced me to continue to serve the people of New Jersey for my full term, just as they elected me to do." I guarantee it.
Next week????? I could hear it in their voices as the whole smutty thing was exposed for all on the evening news. The "fairy issue" news cycle is way faster than waiting to next week to get wound up.
BTW, "plays for the other team" is a term a former co-worker used when referring to homosexuals. Made me LOL everytime....
