MCG'S WIFE KEPT HIS SECRET LEARNED EARLY, BUT 'LET IT SLIDE' (mom asked him if he was gay)
NY POST ^ | April 23, 2007 | JEANE MacINTOSH

She knew. Despite claims to the contrary, Dina Matos McGreevey knew former NJ Gov. Jim McGreevey was gay long before he announced it to the world.......

"By 2002, just before Golan Cipel resigned, she knew," said a friend.... McGreevey says he had an affair with Cipel, whom he appointed as his homeland-security adviser in January 2002. In his memoir, McGreevey recounts how his wife - catching him on the phone with Cipel in the summer of 2002 - angrily asked, "Are you gay?" Cipel resigned August 2002. The couple began dating in 1997........

By 1999, those in McGreevey's inner circle said she had figured it out. McGreevey proposed to Dina Matos in Montreal in February 2000. They married that October. In her memoir, "Silent Partner" - due out May 1 - Dina reportedly recounts how she almost didn't make the Montreal trip because she was upset McGreevey had asked one of his good-looking male staffers to drive them. In 2001 - just after the birth of their daughter, Jacqueline - her husband began his affair with Cipel. She had no knowledge at the time about that relationship.

In February 2002, a NJ newspaper published a story noting the "close friendship" between McGreevey and Cipel. The insinuation was clear, and McGreevey later wrote that his own mom asked him if he was gay.

Sounds like she had strong indications he was homosexual before she agreed to marry him.

McGreevy is a scumbag, his wife apparently is stupid.

Do you really think she didn’t know he was gay before she married him? It was a political marriage and I’m sure she was paid well for it. He just couldn’t exercise enough self control to keep his secret life secret and the humiliation of being publicly exposed as a beard broke all deals between them. I don’t believe anything she has to say anymore than I believe anything he has to say. (P.S. I’ll bet a turkey baster was involved in the conception of their child).

Not just Mrs. McGreevey and Katie Holmes. My sister’s neighbor was married to a gay man for over 20 years. They had three children together. He is a great dad. She chose not to admit he was gay. It wasn’t until he was “outed” by his mother that they went their separate ways. This gal’s mother-in-law said, “sweetie I thought you knew he was gay.”

True story.

Why is the Post bashing Dina? This was well after she had a child with him and it was too late. Are they trying to say she tolerated it?

"angrily asked, "Are you gay?"

Reminds me of the lines in an old Dudley Moore movie:

"You're so damned nice to everyone that when he asked 'are you gay?', you said 'no, but thanks for asking!'....." (or words to that effect)

Society has become so overly-politically-correct, that we are FORCED to give deferance to sex deviates...

Was this Jimmy’s 2nd marriage? There is a special place in hell for homosexuals roaming rest stops for sex with strangers and returning to the bedroom shared with a spouse. There is something really wrong with this creep.
He seems to have no moral compass at all. Pregnant wife and rest stop sex? The health risks to wife and unborn baby no of no consequence to this little fop.

She compromised her self she said.... “Okay I know he is a gay, but I will play along because I am the wife of the governor of New Jersey and all the perks that go with it”
Conscious decision that. She rolled the dice that she wouldn’t be humiliated ... she lost.

She was probably the last person in the state of New Jersey to learn that he's as gay as the day is long.

For the life of me, I can't figure out which of these two is more fouled up.

If McGrevey wasn’t gay then Corsine wouldn’t be in the hospital with a dozen broken bones and a tube stuck down his nose. Think about it.

Indeed. I would imagine she’s not in a hurry to attend a highschool reunion.....(chuckle)

McGreevey is beyond contempt. He had no concerns for the children. He exhibits the signs of a sociopath.

There are certain states I would never move to - New Jersey, Washington, Florida, and a few others.

McGreevy is a sex fetishists and his wife was a clear thinking opportunist.

See bill and hillary clinton. same identical scenario for political power gain.

I don[’t believe she was unaware of her husbands sexual desires, any more than I believe ArieHeaded Huffington was unaware of her husbands same deviance.

As such, I can’t take anything from McGreevey’s ex wife any more seriously than I take this faux Zsa Zsa Gabor political ‘activist’ seriously.

“Daaarling, pull the limo up, I desire to ride among the little people....”

I can see Huffington saying that easily.

I knew a similar family, only the fact that he was gay was confirmed by the fact he had AIDS and had given it to his wife. They’re both dead.
