He is an amazing example of moral decay combined with a narcisistic pathology. Good thing that the pillars of morality in society (like Hannity) won't give him access to their audience the way that supreme opportunist Oprah did.

His interview with Hannity on the radio the other day, was pathetic. Had him/herself a regular little hissy-fit when Sean wanted to delve into the cheatin aspect of it, be it gay or straight.

McGreevy made it clear that this book is and it promotion are nothing more than a "Look at me! I'm Gay! It's ok to be Gay!" statement.

Considering how agonizing being in the closet is said to be....... McGreevey should be locked into one so we don't have to hear anymore of his disgusting deviant
lifestyle. I truly feel sorry for his exwives and children. I don't want to hear anymore of his sordid lifestyle. I just hope there no movie coming out next. Enough is enough.

How many people can say they met the Governor of their State while taking a leak at an Interstate rest room, by letting him watch them pee through a peep hole.

Imagine what this is doing to McGreevey's wife and kids. This is reminiscent of the gay Episcopal pastor (Robinson) who created deep rifts in his church for his own selfish gains.

Maturity is an understanding that it's "not all about you". Neither McGreevey or Robinson have reached that stage in life yet, despite their numerical ages.

He may have been ethically challenged but he was an adulterer and he's gay. That's all liberals need to view him as a hero.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

Goldberg nails it.

McGreevey fills his book with prurient and tawdry sexual details to distract the readers' attention from a number of interesting claims:

(1) That he had no specific knowledge of the bribes he was paid by various individuals and companies for political favors, that his aides committed these crimes without his direction and that he only passively acquiesced in them after the fact.

This from a man who was known as a micromanager who kept all his employees on a short leash.

(2) That he did not have a physical relationship with Cipel until after he had named Cipel as his director for Homeland Security.

In other words, he is claiming that he appointed Cipel purely on the merits, believing that Cipel was fully qualified for the post.

Another outrageous claim.

This "confession" abdicates all responsibility for criminal malfeasance.

The facts remain: in his sheer greed he sold the power of his office to the highest bidder and in order to satisfy his sexual appetites he deliberately compromised the security of New Jersey.

He now lives in a palatial home on an enormous plot in Plainfield, NJ. A home that is clearly worth millions.

He took bribes, got away with it and is now enjoying his ill-gotten largesse while Oprah Winfrey, New York magazine and a variety of other media outlets are rehabilitating him for a new career.

Disgusting.

And certain talk show hosts seem to think there is something to be gained by giving publicity to this type of pervert.

No different than the UN giving Chavez and Imadamnutjob a free podium.

I've been listening to news for the last two weeks on this, and have been flabbergasted not to have heard any comment on the scandal that should have put him into jail: Trying to extort money from the Halper family in order for the Halper family to get something close to market value for the farm the state was seizing. The initial offer was $3M, a court ruled it was worth $18M.
