GAY GOVERNOR GOING, GOING, GONE

The party's over, or it's over between New Jersey Governor James McGreevey, and the Democratic Party.
McGreevey will deliver his farewell speech today at the State Museum in Trenton.
During his short tenure as Governor McGreevey managed to successfully push stem cell research legislation, obtained benefits for domestic partners, and brought about much needed reforms at the State's disgraceful child welfare agency.
However, McGreevey's accomplishments as a humanitarian were quickly overshadowed by numerous scandals involving adultery
, with another man, and possibly with femail prostitutes.In addition a pair of Democratic fundraisers were indicted this past July on a variety of Federal charges.
The thing that did the Governor in however was his sexual relationship with Golan Cipel, and Israeli national who was hired by McGreevey as a security aide, who initiated and later dropped a sexual harassment suit against the Governor.
McGreevey, the married father of 2, was also an avid attendee at New Jersey strip clubs during the late 90' s through 2001.
So once again we have a Democrat who' s political career is tarnished by a voracious, and in this case, diversified appetite for sex.
I guess in some ways he did personify the term, "Head Of State."
Here's a link to a more comprehensive report in "Newsday.com."
