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.
When I saw her name in print around the time McGreevy came out as a “gay American”, it was Dina Matos. I never saw her referred to as Dina Matos McGreevy before reading this story. One feature that this story avoids — she apparently doesn’t want the kid exposed to his alternative lifestyle. Since she’s a very liberal Democrat (gadzooks, calling Shrillary for advice!) there is definite cognitive dissonance happening. She’s torn between what she knows is good for the kid and what she is supposed to think and say as a progressive.
