Matos McGreevey, who is now locked in a contentious divorce proceeding with her estranged husband...

I hope she's able to pick him clean...financially,that is.I doubt that any self respecting woman would want to "clean" him any other way.

Maybe she knows more than she lets on ~ now that Larry Craig has “outed himself” maybe she can recall others with whom her husband had encounters at interstate rest stops in Virginia, or what officials here might have gotten him off the hook.

“James McGreevey, the nation’s first openly gay governor”

Is this right? Didn’t he come out only after he was caught?

["James McGreevey, the nation's first openly gay governor, later said he stepped down rather than succumb to a $50 million blackmail threat from a male former lover."]

This is why homosexuals should not be in power positions in government.

Jim McGreevey, 50, will begin full-time studies at General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church in Manhattan, seminary spokesman Bruce Parker said Friday.

If he plays his cards right, he can become a TEC bishop in time.

Stuff and nonsense! A heterosexual philanderer is just as open to blackmail as a gay philanderer, and an “out” homosexual is less open to blackmail than a heterosexual philanderer.

Good catch. That description makes him into a brave civil rights icon, not just a slimeball whose questionable activities forced him into his self-pitying “I am a gay man” speech. That was the first spin, making himself the poor victim of close minded gay bashers, instead of the criminal activity he was really involved in.
But what the hell, it worked.

Gee, my recollection is that, three years ago, the press couldn’t care less about Matos McGreevey (today is the first time I’ve ever even read her name in print, let alone heard it). Now, when it’s a Republican who’s in trouble, she’s wheeled out as a fellow victim “of his choices.” An expert commentator, as it were.

He’s got his sights set on the next growth industry.

The fellow already has a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center and a master's in education from Harvard.
Perhaps he was inspired by The Right Reverend Vicky Imogene "Gene" Robinson from up New Hamster.

That and the fact that they are usually bounders.

While there are similarities, I found McGreevey far worse than Craig. Yet I cannot recall Chris Mathews of Hardball go into a frenzy over the McGreevey story to the extent he went over Craig. I just saw parts of Chris Matthew’s handling of the Craig incident - but it made me wonder if Chris himself has done the very thing. The story just seemed to excite him to a point it was creepy.

If you’ve seen Eddie Izzard’s skit about the Church of england you know why Miss McGreevey chose to jump from the Catholic Church to the Episcopal Church.It’s kinda like going from the Marine Corps to the Girl Scouts.

Yes, and he was not elected while “openly gay”. It kind of “happened”.

Wasn’t it just a short time ago that McGreevey was hired to teach Ethics at Kean College in New Jersey? Ethics! OMG! Kean College must be the worst school in the country!

““James McGreevey, the nation’s first openly gay governor””

James McGreevey, the nation’s first openly gay governor caught in a corruption probe and forced to resign to prevent prosecution.

Much better.

Hillary’s advice:

“She said the best piece of advice I can give you is to get your own counsel and do what you think you need to do protect you and your daughter,” Matos McGreevey recalled. “And don’t let your husband’s advisers make decisions for you.”

Just like a lib, never take their own advice.
