I’m pretty conflicted about the whole McGreevey issue. While I think it took guts to come out, it really as just a smoke screen to cover up his other scandals.

The man was a corrupt politician. Rallying around somelike like that to be the gay role model ain’t that great.

I also find it interesting that the article talks about how it’s easier now to be out in politics. I can’t imagine, even now, that an openly gay candidate would ever win a govenership.

I’d be interested to see if McGreevey reappears in a few years in politics and how he’ll position himself.

The book is creating a life of its own which is a testament to its value and excellence. Yay!

Personally, I think this McGreevey thing is pretty great. All this tragedgy stuff is pure spin.

It may be a media manipulation, but it will do us all good. People are talking about this, thinking about the tragedy of him living a lie, empathizing with him. And even if it is spin, the story is a story i have heard a million times. It’s my father’s story. It’s Barney Frank’s story — and he does have a good chance of getting elected to the senate. and that is statewide office just like governor. so i disagree that the country isn’t ready for a gay governor.

As for corruption, that is nothing new in New Jersey.
