What happened on Cape May beach, and who was there? Monday August 16, 2004 By JOHN CURRAN Associated Press Writer TRENTON, N.J. (AP) What happened that night on Poverty Beach in Cape May? Was Gov. James E. McGreevey really with his wife when he fell and broke his leg?
Or was he with Golan Cipel, his alleged lover?
Ever since the February 2002 incident, rumors swirled that McGreevey, on a romantic getaway with his wife, really wasn't with her when it happened. On Sunday, a senior McGreevey administration source told the AP that Cipel was with McGreevey when it happened. McGreevey spokeswoman Kathy Ellis denied it.
A call to Cipel's lawyer seeking comment about the incident was not immediately returned.
John Schatz, sous chef at the Peter Shields Inn in Cape May, where McGreevey was staying, insisted Monday it was Dina Matos McGreevey who was with her husband on the beach, not Cipel.
``I know for a fact he was with her,'' said Schatz, who responded to the spot where McGreevey had fallen after receiving a frantic call from Matos McGreevey.
The couple, who had come for a ``romantic getaway'' following the birth of their daughter, had planned a one-night stay at the pricey oceanfront inn but decided to extend their stay, Schatz said.
They had a reservation for dinner at 7 or 8 p.m. on Feb. 1 but decided to go for a walk on the beach, according to Schatz. They left about 7 p.m.
``By 7:15, Dina called here and she was freaking out, saying the governor broke his leg, please get help,'' Schatz said.

Remember when Bubba was at Greg Norman's house in Florida?
Is this important?
Oh, this isn't the interesting part -- the more interesting part is the potential funding via Toricelli. So the questions to pursue are the financial links between McGreevey and the Torch, separate from those (if it can be shown) between the Torch and Cipel.
No, why should it matter that dem politicians just routinely release lies about everything? He's a hero, for lying to the press, the state, for having some sort of sham marriage, even perhaps a child just for show, for selling the entire NJ population out by hiring his boy toy to direct homeland security, for being involved ina rat's nest of corruption. Butafter all, he is a "Gay American."
If an insider wanted to demand $50,000,000 in hush payments, wouldn't he be fairly confident that the money was available?
Word from South Jersey ( rumor ) is :
Rough ORAL sex with a state trooper . Fell out of the bed and broke leg . Was rushed back to Trenton with fell off a sand dune story . Supposedly two more " Boy Toys " in the Cape May area .This is what has been going around for two years !!
I didn't think it was important.
-so philandering dems need to be concerned that they will break a leg at the beach???
The only real news is the corruption in McG's governor's office and the good citizens of NJ need him to get out so they can clean up the mess. One hopes that Cipel will get his own just rewards.........not one penny more of taxpayer money. Can the state demand a refund on their wasted tax $s he has already collected?
That Friday evening was cold and rainy.....no one would be walking on the beach.
If half of what I've heard about that incident on the beach is true, then yes -- it IS important.
The first question I would ask is why the governor of New Jersey was walking around on a beach on a rainy night without his State Police guard detail. Two things about this John Schatz story that I know to be absolutely false: 1) McGreevey's SP detail wasn't with him, and 2) neither was his wife.
In fact, the whole things rings false from the start -- mainly because nobody really believes that during an incident like this the wife of the governor would even bother calling the sous-chef at the hotel where they were staying.
Recently heard that Bubba put the moves on Norman's wife and it was Norman who broke bubba's leg!
We'd all understand why it is important if the republicans would stop giving the dems a pass for despicable behavior. Ok, let's recap. It's important that he spent taxpayer money and put his lover in charge of Homeland Security, thereby exposing the whole state to increased danger. It's important that he was subject to blackmail. It's important that he was being injured doing who knows what and making up total lies about it. It's perhaps even important that this means his marriage is a political sham and his wife was part of an elaborate cover up which relates to the first three points - endangering homeland security to put a love interest on the public dole.
BUT the news article said he FELL off a sand ledge and broke his leg !!!! Weather or not !!
There is no doubt in my mind that many of their friends and family work in the financial offices mentioned in the most recent terror alert.
Are they too consumed with hatred of the President to notice what McG had in mind for the security of New Jersey.
this whole story confuses me - how exactly did McGreevy claim to have broken his leg? Fell off a ledge of some sort? Into sand? While walking around on the beach on a rainy night without his security detail?
Knowing how corrupt New Jersey is, I'm sure that the sous-chef was paid off a long time ago for his part in the story. The poor guy probably didn't get the memo that he's supposed to tell a different lie now!
