"McGreavey promised that if I was his hot playmate
in New Jersey, that I'd be Freeh."

The reports out of New Jersey are breaking my tiny little heart. They say the Love Gov might quit any day now instead of hanging around until Nov.15. What a loss that would be, a true tragedy for journalists, lawyers and comedians. Speaking for all of them, I beg you, Gov. Jim McGreevey, Don't do it. We need you. Your saga is our summer meal ticket, an easy read packed full of juicy gems about sex, or maybe it was attempted sex, and talk of hush money and extortion and blackmail. Why, there's even international intrigue via the cutie-patootie Israeli poet you so innocently confused with a terrorism expert.Here's a hot tip: Fire your lousy translator. My Hebrew is a little rusty but I don't think "gay" and "terror" sound anything alike, unless you're into some really kinky stuff.
If you quit now, we'll never know what exactly you're into or when your two wives learned you prefer men. And which men and where and whether others were on the public payroll and whether your security detail protected you on trysts.
Inquiring minds want to know all that and more, and so do the lawyers who will be wanting to put their hands deep into taxpayers' pockets. So what if you have to raise taxes to pay off the lawsuits - at least we'll get some laughs for our money.
But without you in office, the media will lose interest and those of us hooked on your special story will never understand how granting a state charter to Touro College got to be part of the hush-hush talks about settling your boy toy's sex suit.
We'll be left wondering whether Charlie Kushner, your biggest fund-raiser, had anything to do with the mess.
Already there are mouth-watering links, such as his role with Touro and the fact that he sponsored Golan Cipel's visa and hired him.
And, thanks to Kushner's own bizarre indictment on charges that he hired hookers to sleep with witnesses against him, including his own brother-in-law, your fans will be looking for the other stiletto to drop.
You should stick around just to seize the license plate possibilities in the scandal. Finally, you could get rid of that dopey Garden State tag line. Make it the Bedroom State! Now, there's a tourism pitch - and a legacy for you.
Not for nothin', Gov, but pulling the plug now would also be a cruel tease.
We haven't had this much sex talk in Jersey since Bianca Jagger dumped Robert Torricelli.
Speaking of the Torch - he's baaaack. Thanks to the nondiscriminatory ethical climate you created and Touro's decision to hire him for the charter bid, his banishment is history.
He's suffered enough, I say.
Let's face it - not everybody will agree with that. It's a cold world, and there aren't that many people with hearts as big as yours. Who will take care of the Torch if you quit? How will he ever get the kind of power that makes people quake and give him gobs of free stuff?
Don't be selfish, Gov. You have a special gift as a wordsmith, even if public service is a demanding lover.
Take that clever first-person article you published yesterday in USA Today. Readers in Iowa and Utah probably were moved when you said you resigned for "very personal reasons." Their patriotic hearts surely skipped a beat when you invoked the state's Constitution and the good of the people as reasons why you wouldn't agree to the bum's rush.
I believe you, Gov. I really do. But you know how people are around here. They always think the worst.
Ignore them and hang in there. After all, there are only 90 more fun-filled days until Nov. 15.

Bedroom state? More like the steamroom state.

Wh-a-a-a-t?
The reporter doesn?t get the Touro College connection? Let me explain it to you. bub.
Clearly, the thieves needed a way to launder millions of dollars to pay Cipel's demands for hush money.
Some point to the NJ state budget and several multi-million items labeled unspecified, and McGay's meedlessly borrowing over $1 billion to balance the budget.
Master extortionist Kushner (who videotaped hookers in sex acts to obstruct justice) sits on Touro's, board and criminal mastermind Torricelli's firm represents Touro College in the NJ medical school deal.
Now this is a perfect set-up to launder money. Would work something like this: The named principals would submit phoney financial statements to the state for say $150 million. But actually Touro needs only say $100 million. The difference is hush money.
The rest is transferred to a friendly bank under accounts labeled Building Fund, Director's Account or Staff Accounts.....and friendly bankers (Kushner owns NorCrown bank) would ensure that only Kushner would have access to these accounts.
A medical school? Corrupt Touro officials, crooked Kushner and Torricelli have their greedy eyes on all that wonderful federal Medicaid money flowing in to a medical college as well.
A FReeper posted that his father worked for Touro but quit in disgust at Touro's crooked activities. Seems Touro enrolled hundreds maybe thousand of Russian refugees claiming Jewish heritage (even if only one out of four grandparents was Jewish) then applied for Pell grants. The so-called students never even showed up for class but Touro collected the avalanche of Pell Grant money which was intended for underprivileged Americans. Touro also gets state and federal grants.
And don't forget the Clintons pardoned four Hasidic in New Square who ripped off Pell grants for about $94M --completely looting the fund---signing up people who never even existed. These same Hasidics whp claim to be pro-life and anti-gay then promptly voted pro-abortion, pro-gay Hillary to the Senate.
Hello,
I am a Touro student in California and am having a dispute with the school. I'm meeting with Dr. Lander via video conference this week. The school is suddenly claiming that Dr. Lander is blind and requires an assistant to be in on the meeting. (Two against one or one of this attorney's?)
Do you or anyone else know if Dr. Lander of Touro College is blind?
