Up until last week, however, it was never reported in any way other than through innuendo. I hope that my faith in the integrity of journalists is justified; that it only went unreported because nobody could get the facts on the record. But all of us journalists should consider whether we employed sufficient diligence in covering McGreevey’s tenure in Trenton. And we must also be reminded that the notion that an elected official’s private life is off limits crumbles when that person’s off-hours behavior inappropriately conflicts with his or her official duties.
He's right on the money there.
