AP NewsBreak: McGreevey confirms threesomes; wife denies trysts

TRENTON, N.J. - His estranged wife denies it, but former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey said they engaged in threesomes with a male aide.

In an e-mail to The Associated Press Monday, McGreevey confirmed published reports by former campaign aide Teddy Pedersen. Pedersen said he had consensual sex with the couple for about two years before McGreevey became governor.

McGreevey said the encounters happened, but the couple needs to move forward for the sake of their 6-year-old daughter.

"This happened, this happened in the past, and now we need to move on with our lives," McGreevey said.

Dina Matos McGreevey said Pedersen's published claims are "completely false" and were prompted by the nation's first openly gay governor as a way to discredit her.

The McGreeveys are in the midst of an acrimonious divorce. She accuses him of hiding his homosexuality before and during their marriage and has sued for damages. He has said she should have known he was gay.

Pedersen said he came forward because he was angry that Matos McGreevey was offering television commentary , in which she said she was blindsided when her husband announced his homosexuality , on the resignation of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who was embroiled in a sex scandal with a call girl.

Is anybody getting sick & tired of ANY stories about our pols in bed (or elsewhere) with people they aren’t married to? I was too young for JFK & Marilyn (now THAT’s a good choice - if you’re going to cheat, go with the best); Bill, Monica & the cigar was a national disgrace; McSleazy & his queer tryst - utterly sickening - we did NOT need to hear about that; Spitzer-nauseating, if only because of him; now we have to relive McSleazy again???

Why can’t we go back to the days when the bedmate of a politician was his business and his wife’s, not that of the nation? There are enough financial and influence-peddling scandals to go around - why can’t the press concentrate on those? They are, after all, a whole bunch more relevant to whether someone is fit to hold power than their choice of bedmates.

It’s pretty big news when a president is impeached for lying or a sitting gov hires a gay lover for Homeland Security Chief or a arrogant NY gov launders $$ to pay for a call girl.

All the other guy has to do is ID something on her body......

No, that wouldn't work. If he and McGreavey are in cahoots, the ex-Gov' could just tell him what ID'ing marks there are.

what better way to destroy your ex than to bring up salacious rumors...

this gigilo could be in cahoots with the Gay Blade so the divorce settlement "swings" in McCreeveys way..

The short story is, they are an amoral group of perverted slobs. I hope McGreevy enjoys his stint at the ministry. Hopefully he will return to I 95 rest areas and follow his true calling.

But on a technical note; just how in the hell did that one in the blue get those panties on???

I think that's the wrong question. It's why didn't she take them off when she still could.

urp

“Well, one of them is lying through their teeth.”

In my opinion the wife is telling the truth.

Two chicks and a guy OK. Two guys and a chick, forget it.

Especially if the two guys are homosexuals. They wouldn't want a woman involved.

Multiple simultaneous partners is a male fantasy, not a female fantasy.

That is true. It sounds disgusting to me.

Not so. McGreevey could tell him something about her body.

On the Internet, nobody knows if you're a dog, much less a man or a woman.

I can tell you that this is not absolute as you state.

No, I actually know a few and they’re all very female.

A lot of print book girls got their start in ebooks-—A
Angela Knight, Lisa Marie Rice, Maya Banks, Lora Leigh, Sherri King, Emma Holly.....

And dang those girls can write :)

Something reeks here. McGreevey is an acknowledged liar; any reason to believe him here?

Yes, but there's also this angle . . .

I happen to know that Dina McGreevey knew damn well -- long before his "self-outing" episode -- that Jim McGreevey was gay. So I have no reason to believe this story isn't true.

I give the wife the benefit of the doubt on this one. It helps McGreevey to say this happened. Even if it did, he should be protecting his child from further hurt. He's a total jerk, not because he is gay, but because he is self-absorbed.

But even if she knew he was gay, why would she sleep with his gay boyfriends?

Well, it is becoming clearer to us li'l folk out here in the heartland why anyone would want to go to a party's national convention...and it ain't for the food...or the speeches.
