(1) McGreevey's spin - that he has resigned because he is gay and people just won't understand - has been completely and robotically adopted by every local media source.
(2) McGreevey appointed his boyfriend as head of NJ Homeland Security. This is an outrage that would have been roughly equivalent to Clinton making Monica Lewinsky FBI Director before details of their affair leaked out.
(3) McGreevey's closest fundraising crony Chuckie Kushner has not only violated campaign financing laws and fraud statutes left and right but he has impeded federal criminal investigations.
(4) McGreevey operative D'Amiano, a connected mob guy, extorted extra money from a developer who had already bribed McGreevey and McGreevey is on tape accepting the bribe in coded language.
(5) Although the Democrats violated the NJ State Constitution by replacing Torricelli with Lautenberg at the last minute, claiming that they had to do it or the electorate wouldn't have a "real choice", McGreevey has unethically gamed the timinmg of resignation so the Democrats can anoint his successor rather than holding an election.
This whole situation is a sleazy Democrat operation and it is succeeding beyond the Democrats' wildest hopes.
New Jesrsey politics have painted the state as a corrupt cesspool; for the residents of this state to continue to be supportive of this Democratic bull**** is absurd. They are getting the government and leaders they deserve.
