When state officials held a press conference Monday to announced that GEICO was returning to New Jersey's auto insurance market, McGreevey was noticeably absent.

Which was odd, since it was an opportunity to crow about reforms he signed last year.

Where was he?

Administration sources say billionaire investor Warren Buffett , who owns GEICO, refused to attend if McGreevey was present.

Micah Rasmussen, the governor's spokesman, said only that his boss was with his family at the time.

Jimmy was busy, and had something important to do anyway.

Jimbo needed to line up a coupla dates for later---and some of his aides were using his Dial-a-Dick phone line.

I don't think he is. I read his son is homosexual.

No.

Anyone who criticizes, or even disagrees with McGreevy means they're homophobic.

I don't think he is. Rather, I'd say he's scandal-o-phobic.

Gay or not, McGreevy is as crooked as a dog's hind leg.

Yeah, but he's a Gay American, and anyone who criticizes or opposes a Gay American is a Homophobic Bigot.

"Govornor McGreevy, I have more bad news: The billionaire liberal Buffett doesn't want to be seen with you.

"But I do have some good news."

"What?" the gay governor asks, "Will Buffett help fund my living expenses after I leave office?"

"No," says the disgraced govornor's assistant, "I just saved hundreds by switching to GEICO."

McGreevey held a press conference.

"The bad news is I'm gay and I'm resigning."

"The good news I just saved $100 by switching to Geico."

Then he turned to Cipel and said, "Gimmee a ball."
