OK, so the government sexcapades continue as now-former New Jersey Governor McGreevey has some sexual skeletons in his closet, like being gay.
No wait, we knew that.
He likes dudes and had fun sexxxy times with his driver.
No wait, we knew he liked dudes, and his driver is a dude. so they had sex. OK.
He likes dudes and had fun sexxxy time with his driver and his wife.
Uh-huh. So, three consenting adults allegedly had fun, sexxxy times. He says so. She denies it.
It was in the privacy of his own home with other consenting adults. Allegedly. I tried to take a minute to see if it’s illegal in NJ, just in case. Then I though, honestly that would be a stupid law anyway. So, I don’t care. Plus, the hits that come up when you type “threesomes” and “New Jersey” into Google (250,000 of them) are not what I was looking for.
The Bottom Line
McGreevey is not Eliot Spitzer, which is where this is all coming from. Spitzer broke the law, a law which he busted other people for breaking. McGreevey likes to have fun with multiple partners simultaneously. Allegedly. These do not equate.
McGreevey Wasn’t an Openly Gay Governor
Also, I am bothered that they call mcgreevey the first openly gay governor. His situation is not a triumph over intolerance; it wasn’t proof that he could be elected on his platform and his stand on important issues, rather than with whom he spent his free time (ahem, without pay cash-money). He wasn’t open.
- He hid it.
- It came out.
- He came out,
- and then he resigned in shame.
This meant that his time being openly gay and his time as governor overlapped by, like, five minutes. That he had to hide it in order to get elected is everyone’s shame.
It’s All About Who You Bl-, er Know
Giving his boyfriend jobs (and I’m not talking about neither “hand” nor “blow”) is the kind of crony-ism that all politicians, as well as captains of industry, and corporations, and other places of employment, share. It’s usually about who you know, and by extension, to whom you’ve given a job (hand, or otherwise).
I am so done with Governors, their “scandals,” and their wives. She said no, let her have that. He’s not the governor anymore, so why bother?
I think I am going to call Governor Patterson the first openly legally blind governor in the country.
Pepper is a recent graduate of Sheboygan Conservatory of Music where she studied the accordion. She enjoys Horatio Caine/Grissom fic and old episodes of Designing Women. Since she has become unemployed, she’s got a lot of time to find stuff to be annoyed about.

Recently, Crystal at Big Bright Bulb, a blog chock full of great advice and insight for small business owners and entrepreneurs, tagged me with a blog meme that’s been making the rounds. I was flattered because it makes me feel a bit more like I’m part of the blogging community. The ideas is that someone comes up with a post, writes it, and “tags” a few other people to write a similar post. Everybody reads the others’ posts, and comments on them. Links are exchanged in a friendly way, everybody has fun, and then we move on with our lives.
