CIPEL BLASTS 'SMEARS' (McG gay lover hits back at Kushner)

Golan Cipel came out swinging yesterday, denying he had sex with a gay New Jersey doctor and claiming he is the victim of a "monstrous, well-oiled" smear machine backed by disgraced developer Charles Kushner on behalf of New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey.

"I am a lone man who is struggling against a monstrous machine, well-oiled by lies and manipulations, which operated methodically in order to destroy me," said Cipel, the Israeli national at the center of the McGreevey gay-sex scandal.

"I assume that every few days, a new lie will appear worse than the previous one," Cipel said in the statement issued in Israel.

He singled out Kushner — a McGreevey pal and fund-raiser who pleaded guilty this week to federal tax and witness-tampering charges — as the man behind the campaign to destroy his reputation.

"One should remember who these people are," Cipel said. "Kushner, who is the main backer and personal friend of Gov. McGreevey, hired two call girls, took pictures of his brother-in-law with them and blackmailed him and was sent to prison."

In attacking Kushner, Cipel was biting the hand that fed him, because the developer sponsored the work visa that for Cipel and gave him a job.

Kushner's lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, called Cipel's claims "a vicious lie."

"Regardless of what Mr. Cipel or anyone else may say about the McGreevey-Cipel situation, Charles Kushner has absolutely nothing to do with it, directly or indirectly," Brafman said.

Cipel also denied ........ claims made to The Post and other media outlets — that (he had other) lovers. The claim was "a brutal lie," Cipel said. "I never had relations with a male in all my life, and clearly not with a person who came out with declarations in the United States." Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel's biggest newspaper, ran a four-page story on Cipel's plight in which several of his colleagues swore he is straight. "I am saying . . . that he is a serious person, not a blackmailer and not a homosexual," said Meir Cohen, the mayor of Rishon Lezion and Cipel's former boss. "I know him, I know that he had girlfriends and I am sure he is the victim of a blood libel."

(Sniffle) Cipel's a "victim," (sob).

Roll out the money machines.

This drama queen, Cipel is conditioned to play-act the victim role to the hilt.......he knows "vicimization" is where all the money is.

Cipel must be taking everyone around him for a fool. He took a cushy job for which he was not qualified and did nothing...and his conscience didn't hurt him. He was obviously prostituting himself to McGreevey in one sense, even just as "eye candy" - what's so far fetched about thinking he would do so in others?


And I'm pretty disgusted that Democrat politics has sunk so low that their scandals have made corruption and gay sex go hand in hand.

What's next, Barak Obama gets caught in bed with one of the descendants of his father's goats with Halliburton share certificates stuffed under the mattress and dead voter registration cards filling shoeboxes in his closet?
