haha...owned

from the AP:

A Roman Catholic, McGreevey had a daughter with his first wife, Kari, who lives in British Columbia with the child. He has another daughter with his current wife. McGreevey spokesman Micah Rasmussen declined to answer any questions about the future of McGreevey's marriage...

As a candidate and governor, McGreevey proudly discussed his Catholic faith but publicly disagreed with church leaders over his support for abortion rights and same-sex partnerships. He pushed for the state's domestic partnership law, which went into effect this year.


Thanks Sir Psycho, we here in civilization have Lt. Govenors! My bad on the bad reporting!

Well that statement goes against the whole spirit of your legal system.

But that aside, it is VERY likely that someone who found all this out blackmailed him. It's much better to control the story yourself, as much as possible, than to let it come out even worse, with more lies and innuendo, outside of your own control. That's one possible reason. I'm sure there are many.

Point is: if something illegal has been reported, it's only an accusation until verdict is decided. But in the court of public opinion, it's a very different thing--as we are witnessing in this thread. Hence better to announce it himself than deal with it worse later.

have you?

if you could shit on my birth place a little more, i'd really appreciate it.

Oh if you only knew.

I posted his name before, but the guy (Golan Cipel) who is accusing him of harassment had McGreevey in hot water earlier...

He was appointed as NJ head of homeland security, despite having no experience(except for being Israeli). The thinking is that he got the job because of an affair with the governor.

i kinda want to laugh

Actually it goes just with it just fine...if he is just gay there is no need for him to resign. What would make this a controversy strong enough to force a resignation? There would have to be some impropriety, other than cheating. Sure it's not expected and he's lose more confidence...if that's possible. I doubt that it would be nearly as bad if there wasn't a sexual harassment lawsuit on the horizon. Maybe there is something to the allegations. If not why lose the upper-hand on the story?

Anyway, the plaintiff will use this against him in any trial. have that someone. He is trying to control the story and have some damage control now....why let your secret homosexual life come out at trial? And what evidence do you have of blackmail....that goes against our legal principles, we need evidence. Call Oliver Stone maybe he'll make that a movie.

Well If you read what I said, I threw out the blackmail scneario as one possible (and maybe plausible) scenario that might explain an alternate reason, besides simply that the man is guilty, for him going public. I didn't say he was blackmailed.

I'm not saying he IS guilty but it certainly won't help any issues he might face in court. So "VERY LIKEY" is now "one possible."

That's semantics. Come on. You can clearly read my original statement in context to see that I did not once suggest that he WAS blackmailed. I do believe it is a strong possiblility, but I also said, if you notice in the original statement, "That's one possible reason. I'm sure there are many." Please do not take my words out of context.

Right, because that would never happen in court...what a great defense. -Your honor it is very likely that there might be a possibility my client was set up. Sorry very likely, means, very likely...in our court system you need evidence to say anything, is very likely and you have none.
On one hand, you say we need proof to call him guilty, but say you need none to imply a set up is very likely. huh?

Uhhhhh...I'm a social worker and most of my clients live in the city of Camden. I can tell you with first hadn experience that Camden is most certainly NOT fixed.

You don't know New Jersey very well. Despite a Democratic Governor...it's still a VERY consertative state.


This issue isn't about him being Gay. I mean, it is...but it isn't. He was under such heavy investigation for campaign stuff, he accepted gifts that were highly suspect, more of his appointees than you can count were being indicted, he had THE highest payroll in the history of the state.....The guy was the most corrupt governor in the history of the state.

Florio wasn't corrupt, he was just an idiot. Anyone remember the ban on runny eggs? For those of you who are inexperienced in the ways of the Garden State....it was once illegal to serve runny eggs in NJ restaurants.

Whitman was a party stooge. She hadn't one original thought in her head. She also fucked us with the Parsons thing.

Back to McGreevey......Like I said before. I'm glad he's not goin gto be governor anymore...I just feel bad that this is how it happened.

I thought if you were from Camden you'd be a little tougher. Are you actually denying that Camden is the asshole of New Jersey and possibly the entire Eastern Sea Board?
