In his highly anticipated memoir, former Gov. James E. McGreevey writes of his deep love for the man who ended his political career, the destruction of his second marriage and the events that forced him into his stunning admission on national television that he is gay. In "The Confession," the former governor also touches on New Jersey's sometimes seamy political landscape, where cash, cronyism and a handful of powerful men intersect. But the 384-page book focuses mostly on McGreevey's secret life, from his frequent sexual encounters with men at highway rest stops to his infatuation with Golan Cipel, the Israeli...

McGreevey, who had been publicly silent since announcing two years ago that he was gay and was resigning, arrived at the studios of the "Oprah Winfrey Show" Tuesday to tell his story.

A few hours ago, Bob Grant on his WOR Radio show mentioned the name Freerepublic.com in connection with a breaking scandal involving NJ Governor James McGreevey that would SURELY result in his resignation if the facts of the scandal could be proved. He indicated that he read this on Freerepublic, (apparently as a post) but would not divulge any particulars, since he couldn't verify the purported facts himself.
