MAY THE BEST RASCAL BE GOVERNOR OF N.J.

JOANNE Corzine has not only left the building, she's left the country. The lady who knows New Jersey Sen. Jon Corzine since kindergarten, who was his wife 35 years, who quit a law career to support her "workaholic" husband, who was divorced by him in 2003 while he was having an affair, told me she was leaving for Europe yesterday.
Mrs. Corzine won't smear her children's father, but she admits living through this election is tough. What I know is: She considered them "a team," but the one-time CEO of Goldman Sachs never discussed with her a future in politics. Just told her he's running. She says he became totally removed.
I recently met Jon Corzine at a dinner party. He said he'd never heard of me. Last week I reported many people were dropping many things about him. He called a p.r. friend to ask me what I knew. So either he took a crash course in New York Post or played loose the first time.
Corzine's romance with Carla Katz, who heads New Jersey's largest public employee union, has been widely spoken about. What he hasn't spoken about is how one will manage to negotiate — should one become governor — with a lady one has known in The Biblical Sense. As in, naked.
Have a handful of allegations:
- Supposedly, Corzine went for a $125,000 (give or take a few bucks) Cartier necklace to keep Carla from attending his son's wedding in San Francisco.
- In a newspaper photo, Carla flashed a Cartier bracelet identical to one Corzine had bought Joanne before. Joanne returned hers to her husband.
- Family members have mentioned certain credit card usage.
- Although they have since broken up, he remains obsessed with pleasing Carla. Even complained that her children — not his, he never mentioned his — were suffering from the adverse publicity of their affair.
- His wife confronted him about Carla early on. He denied it, although they'd be on the phone sometimes from midnight to 2 a.m. He admitted it when confronted with telephone records.
- Joanne has said he always said he had never been unfaithful. Joanne has also said she doesn't "know what he was on."
- He's "a prime narcissist. Calculating, driven. Does and says exactly what will get him whatever he wants, then apologizes for it later big-time. Will do whatever and say whatever to get elected.
- "He surrounds himself with people he pays or needs, then on to the next. It's all about him. He'll never be satisfied."
About the huggy, kissy, fuzzy aroma he exudes it's: "He's mastered a disguise."
You're told: "When he ran for Senate if he said once more how much he loved his wife, I'd have vomited." He dumped his wife after his election.
