Gay sex trysts in 'bookstores and rest stops'
(New York-WABC, May 21, 2006) - It was the announcement that caught the attention of the nation. Jim McGreevey, Governor of New Jersey, husband, and father, telling the world he was gay and involved in an extra marital affair with a man. 21 months later, the former governor is going public again with a book titled "The Confession."
This is a tell-all book in every sense of the word. Former Governor Jim McGreevey doesn't appear to hold anything back. In the book, he writes about his life as a gay man in power and how he lied to everyone. The book comes out in September. The publisher just released 16-pages of excerpts.
"The truth is that I am a gay American," said former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey in August of 2004.
It was a personal truth aired in public. Now, McGreevey goes even further. In his new book, "The Confession", McGreevey speaks about meeting anonymous men at rest stops for sexual trysts. "As the years went on," McGreevey writes, "I became as avid a womanizer as anybody else on the New Jersey political scene, but my attraction was largely artificial. My sexual performance a triumph of mind over matter."
This is a tell-all book in every sense of the word. Former Governor Jim McGreevey doesn't appear to hold anything back. In the book, he writes about his life as a gay man in power and how he lied to everyone. The book comes out in September. The publisher released 16-pages of excerpts at a book expo in Washington D.C. Saturday. McGreevey made his first public appearance since the summer of 2004 at the expo.
McGreevey writes, "As glorious and meaningful as it would have been to have a loving and sound sexual relationship with another man, I knew I'd have to undo my happiness step by step as I began chasing my dream of a public career and the kind of 'acceptable' life that went with it. So instead, I settled for the detached anonymity of bookstores and rest stops. A compromise, but one that was wholly unfulfilling and morally unsatisfactory."
In the excerpts, McGreevey doesn't say when the encounters started. Nor does he mention his two marriages to women. He comes off as a man in great pain, in great conflict. "I knew I would have to lie for the rest of my life, and I knew I was capable of it," he writes. "The knowledge gave me a feeling of terrible power."
McGreevey will get $500,000 for writing the book and he's already a scheduled guest on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" for his first interview since the announcement. That interview will air next fall during Oprah Winfrey's new season right here on Channel 7.
Amen. I'll be heading south from New England in a few weeks, and I will be trying to 'hold it' all the way to Virginia. Wish my wife similar luck...
From the NYP article,
"The closet starves a man, and when he gets a chance he gorges till it sickens him," he writes in his book, titled "The Confession."
That sentence is so sick and disgusting on so many levels.....
I do not want to know what felching and rimming is.
They mean ADULT bookstores, I presume. A lot of them have peep show booths, which are commonly used for homo sex.
Anonymous men and a rabid womanizer...so the guy is just a pervert.
Dude, it happens everywhere. If you're that concerned, I'd add every populous state to your list. So that's the entire east and west coasts and most of the midwest. North Dakota rest stops are prolly safe, but then, the more remote rest stops often resemble outhouses, presenting their own set of disgusting issues.
"morally unsatisfactory."
Let's see; bookstore and rest stop sex was morally unsatisfactory.....hmmmmm.....o.k. So glad he's moral.
Thanks for stating the obvious. I'd feel the same way about him (sick, and he has issues) if he was hetero, as well.
Oh...that makes more sense. LOL! I was thinking Barnes and Noble or something like that. Ick! They have some disgusting reading sections and everything but, I mean, come on. That?
Okay, sinky, is this ex-gov a degenerate?
Barnes and Noble does have rather luxurious bathrooms. lol.
I read y'all's little dustup on this topic...the Mary Cheney thread. But MHGinTN, be real, you're not suggesting that Mary Cheney's conduct, in public or private, is similar to that of McSleazy's, are you? Are you suggesting she frequents rest stops and adult bookstores?
Obsessed with your genitals? Don't worry - it's normal. Just ask your local sodomite.
I think you're on to something. He'll go on Oprah, and the next thing you know liberals will be talking about how, once again, a nearly great hero was brought down by small-minded, mean-spirited conservatives: "He didn't do anything wrong; it was all about sex."
OTH, I think New Jersians got what they deserved when they voted Democrat. Why should anyone be surprised?
Can you think of anything sleazier than the top dem politicos running the state from a drug infested go-go bar? Bada Bing indeed.
Astonishing 'Confession' from former NJ Gov.
Astonishing? As far as male homosexual activity -this is the norm. What is astonishing is that the happy go lucky rainbow colored "gay" veneer has been temporarily removed to expose the depraved underbelly comprising just what those suffering the homosexual disorder engage in and expose others to -it is what exclusively differentiates it from the norm -it is all about the sex...
You won't hear about this in any "gay rights" speeches or see the content embodied in any "gay love" platitudes -and you sure won't see it in any homosexual school club brochures or "safe sex" condom and microbicide galas either...
This slimy creature is now trashing everyone in politics.
Come on. You must be inclusive, sensitive and understanding of alternative lifestyles. These perverts, er, I mean people, are just another form of normal that your kids must be taught to engage and embrace. SARC!
