Jersey Jerk

Argh! After reading this, I had a strong urge to go take a bath. I feel slimey and dirty just reading this cretin’s words. I was also strongly reminded of Bill Clinton while reading. Clinton wasn’t homosexual (as far as I know) but he was just as sleazy. I read this and other news about US Representative William Jefferson (D-LA) taking $100k in bribes and wonder what the connecting thread is between these three politicians.

Oh yeah, they’re all Democrats. You know, that party who claims to be fighting corruption in the wake of the Abramoff scandal - which allowed them to tar the Republicans as “corrupt”. The party of Teddy “Lifeguard” Kennedy. You know the bunch. This Jersey jerk is just more of the same. The fact that he is homosexual is of minor consequence and really doesn’t count for a hill of beans. The fact that he is a sleaze does. Case closed.

McGreevey’s Memoir Details Gay Trysts

NEWARK, N.J. (AP)—Former Gov. James E. McGreevey once resorted to anonymous homosexual trysts at highway rest stops, according to recently released excerpts from his memoir being released later this year.

McGreevey—who proclaimed himself “a gay American” in 2004 while announcing his impending resignation as governor - describes his long struggle with his homosexuality in the book “The Confession.”

According to the excerpts published Sunday in The Star-Ledger of Newark, McGreevey engaged in the secret encounters because he feared having a relationship with a man would ruin his chances of success as a politician.

”So, instead, I settled for the detached anonymity of bookstores and rest stops—a compromise, but one that was wholly unfulfilling and morally unsatisfactory,” McGreevey wrote. The excerpts do not mention whether the activities extended into his time as governor.

ReganBooks, a division of HarperCollins, is paying the 48-year-old McGreevey up to $500,000 for the 384-page memoir. He made an appearance Saturday at BookExpo America in Washington, D.C., where he told the newspaper his book is “painfully honest.”

“A lot will resonate with readers,” he said. The excerpts do not detail his two marriages, or even the scandal, which became public knowledge during an August 2004 televised news conference in which McGreevey acknowledged a gay affair and said he would resign in coming months.

The excerpts also do not mention the former aide whom sources close to McGreevey have identified as the man he had an extramarital affair with. According to the excerpts, McGreevey said he also became “as avid a womanizer as anybody else on the New Jersey political scene.”

”I knew I would have to lie for the rest of my life - and I knew I was capable of it,” McGreevey wrote. ”The knowledge gave me a feeling of terrible power.” He said he became an avid student of human behavior during his rise from the state Parole Board to Woodbridge mayor to governor, and that allowed him to keep up the charade.

”I studied the moves, figured out what worked and what didn’t, practiced and perfected my perfect inauthenticity,” he wrote.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
