Jim McGreevey gave New Jersey its first glimpse of his leadership style when he intervened last week in the fight over who would be the next speaker of the Assembly.

The news is not good. McGreevey staged a coup against Joe Doria, who has been the Democratic leader in the Assembly for 12 years. That is a new governor's prerogative, and given that Doria was never able to unify the party's caucus, the governor-elect had good reason to want fresh blood.

Another page out of the scumbag Democrat handbook.
This article perfectly portrays what Democrats do - - what they are.

And New Jersey has more than enough parasites to keep electing them, LOL !!!
(By the way, who did the Star Ledger endorse?)
"New Jersey and scumbag Democrats - - perfect together."

...He's wanted to be governor of New Jersey since he was a kid.

Is that kinda like wanting to be the mayor of Rio Linda? The greatest mafioso ever? The best born loser ever?

If that's how big my political asperations were, then I'd give up now.

Unless, McScum-vey knew how much loot he could make out of the treasury.

[SpinyNorman]

I hope the NJ "Republicans" that blackballed Schundler are happy now.

[Redleg Duke]

"And McGreevey's request that Assembly members sign a loyalty oath is heavy-handed and boorish."

Loyalty oaths were very popular with Adolph Hitler also!

[brownman]

Mcgreevey got back at all the blacks who voted for Schundler.

[Keith]
