Well, considering that there's absolute zero evidence (feverish rantings by DUmmies and Kos don't count as evidence) that it isn't true, I hope you'll forgive me for assuming that it is. If the evidence situation changes, then I'll be open to changing my opinion. Until then, the cases have nothing in common.
I will also note, as an aside, that the main thrust of comments at FR about McGreevy wasn't that he was having a gay extra-marital affair, but that he used that affair to distract from the corruption and influence-peddling issues that were starting to come to the surface. McGreevy played the "gay card" to avoid criticism for abuse of power...

I hit the "back" button as fast as I could and erased the page from my history so my wife wouldn't start having doubts about me.
