Boo who? Let's get it straight

I personally think McGreevey realized he wasn't up to the job and needed an out

That sentence and the word reality do not belong in the same universe.

You can't honestly believe any democrat politician, or for that matter a republican as well, is concerned that they are not qualified for the job and would step down because of it. Can you???

"Perhaps McGreevey assumed that because Cipel is Israeli, he knows a lot about fighting terrorism. In fact, the 33-year-old had worked only in public relations. Those press releases will protect us!"

I guess that's what Kerry meant by fighting a more "sensitive war on terror."

[Popman]

If anyone thinks "it's only about sex", they are deluded, and have been corrupted as much as those who spread this terrible disease upon us.

Thanks to the media being lazy and sycophantic, 99% of Americans believe Clinton was impeached because "it's only about sex",

[DuncanWaring]

So much for the complaint that homosexuals can't get married - here's one that got married twice!

Yes sir!

The corruption that will be revealed in New Jersey, ala McGreevey & Co., will be just the tip of the proverbial iceberg of what Clinton, and his ilk perpetrated on the American people.

Most all of us want sex, however men who put sex before all else, are not only a danger to themselves, but those around him. There is a time and a place for everything, and engaging in sex in the WhiteHouse, while in conversation with a Congress person, on government business, is not one of them. Needless to say, that is but one he was caught at.

A man in the public service who thinks like this is a liability to our national security.

Once the "mongols" decend on the United States, it is too late. After all, how many times can you kill them for treason?

If the Republican Party in New Jersey is worth its salt, they will jump on this and jump on it hard. It's not the gay thing, it's the corruption and the whole emocratic and liberal media assumption that anything is permitted to an out and proud member of their favority victim class.

This is so not a gay thing. Finding out McGreevey came out almost made me want to go straight.

What do you think about gay activists getting out the confetti and celebrating regarding McGreevey's coming out? McGreevey wasn't an unmarried politician who was simply discreet about his gay life -- no, he went and got married and had a kid for political props. That's pretty disgusting, particularly in this day and age. Besides, what is the message here by McGreevey's coming out -- that gay people will jeopardize their state's security due to their sex lives? What is McGreevey a role model for, anyway, that gay people can be corrupt, too?

[DelurkingFreeper]

Oh, we've all known for years that gay people can be corrupt. I can't remember anyone being proud that Roy Cohn was gay.

I have no idea what's wrong with these people. I don't even think McGreevey is gay, I think he's bisexual but claiming to be gay as it gives his announcement more panache. But the people celebrating his announcement are either all Democrats or thinking it's about time he came out.

Thanks for your response -- I just can't understand why the quintessential closet case is being lionized for his alleged candor, when the only reason for his candor is political calculation, and your comments shed some light on the reaction.
