I'm no fan of Rowland, but what Rowland did was not even close to what McGreevey did.
Rowland accepted gifts from state contractors in the form of home improvements on his vacation home.
McGreevy appointed an unqualified gay lover as director of New Jersey's Homeland Security, thus putting thousands of people's lives at risk.
I will agree that this is a borderline coup though.
No, the one before McGreevy, who was that? He got watches and favors like that, too, just like Rowland.
BUt, the McGreevy episode is another example of the Dems circling the wagons to keep their bad boy in, while the repubs just let their boy go down in flames, fleeing like rats from a sinking ship...whether they should have or not.
