I didn't know, sez gov's ex
2 hours, 43 minutes ago
BY MAGGIE HABERMAN, DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
The first wife of New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey said yesterday she didn't know her ex was gay until last week.
"He told me just before he went on TV," Kari Schutz said in a phone interview from British Columbia.
Schutz described the call from her ex-husband as "difficult," although she declined to give details. But asked if she had any idea of her husband's sexual identity during their marriage, she said, "I never knew."
The governor's second wife, Dina Matos McGreevey, also didn't learn her husband was gay until just days ago, sources said. One source said that McGreevey first told Dina about his affair with a man last week, but it wasn't until Wednesday that he told her he was certain he was gay and was going to come out of the closet.
McGreevey took to the airwaves Thursday to say he had had an affair with a man he didn't identify, and that he was resigning the governorship, effective Nov. 15.
Schutz said she and her ex-husband had "discussions" about a brewing scandal involving former McGreevey aide Golan Cipel, since named as the other man in the affair, when she and their daughter, Morag, visited less than two weeks ago. It was unclear whether the governor had insisted the allegations weren't true at the time.
She and McGreevey have talked repeatedly since his bombshell announcement.
"We've been in touch with him," Schutz said. "And we're just wanting our privacy back, and we support him 100% and wish him well."
"He's a wonderful father," she added, noting that they have stayed in close touch with each other and that he sees their 11-year-old daughter often.
"My main concern is for my daughter," she said of the media maelstrom surrounding her family. But Shutz has nothing but good will toward her ex-husband.
"He's been a wonderful governor, and that's how people should remember him," she said.
McGreevey met Schutz, a librarian, on a cruise in 1990. They married in Canada and moved into a condominium in Woodbridge, N.J., where McGreevey became mayor. Schutz wasn't happy as a political wife and split for her native Canada in 1994 with Morag.
The divorce became final in 1997. Later, as he was running for governor, McGreevey took the unusual step of sealing the divorce records, with Schutz's permission.
yeah, riiiiight
Wife #2 - no way.
I just wonder how their kid, Butters, is reacting to this.
These chicks seriously need to get their "gaydar" fixed.
This doesn't sound like a very common name. I wonder it's derivation.
I don't think we should beat up on the wives. I have seen women who have dated or married men the rest of us suspected were gay. Some women are insecure and unsure of their attractiveness and respond to (secretly) gay men because they are the first men who treat them as desirable. I think McGreevey's second wife is a victim here. Even if her husband confided his sexual confusion to her, I'll bet the implicit or explicit understanding was that he wouldn't be messing around.
I don't know what the first one looks like --- but the second one to me looks like one who might see herself as a trophy wife and as long as she had enough money for shopping and getting her hair done figured she was in a pretty good marriage. She might not have married him for sex in the first place but for his political position and money.
That's because he isn't a homosexual. He is bisexual. In other words, he'll screw anything. Tammy Bruce, a former leader of NOW and a lesbian herself, said this on her talk radio show here in Los Angeles yesterday.
Although Ms. Bruce is still a lesbian, like many Americans who were formerly on the Left, she's the political light and now is a Republican who supports President Bush.
She ripped into McGreevey yesterday, saying that she believes he is a sexual impuslive who will have sex with anyone who'll drop their pants, male or female. She said he used the "I am a gay American" line to deflect attention away from his corruption. I agree with that assessment.
They knew. This Daily News story is a too-well-cooked pot of misquotes.

"Morag"???????????????? |
We had a neighbor with the same name, it's Irish I think.
"He's been a wonderful governor, and that's how people should remember him," she said.
Yes, he's been just lovely! Sarcasm off.
"The divorce became final in 1997. Later, as he was running for governor, McGreevey took the unusual step of sealing the divorce records, with Schutz's permission."
I'd bet the first wife may have known.
"She ripped into McGreevey yesterday, saying that she believes he is a sexual impuslive who will have sex with anyone who'll drop their pants, male or female. "
I agree.
AIDS test! Hepatitis-C test! You name it - you better get the entire series of shots including for RABIES!
Then sue the dnc, the queer nation, and the state of NJ (whose ignorant elected the pervert)!
Ha!
I hear that the poor wife now just doesn't know which way to turn....
Isn't that why his first wife left him in the first place?

So is "Fintan" (Celtic, actually), but I can't find anything references to the name Morag in my Celtic history or mythology books. |
It sounds Celtic, though...
