BACKSTORY
April 4, 2003
Kevin McCabe, deputy commissioner of the state’s labor department, was arrested last week on charges of reckless driving, speeding, and driving under the influence of alcohol.
A close associate of Gov. Jim McGreevey, McCabe was pulled over in East Brunswick at 1:40 a.m. on April 4 when a member of the East Brunswick DWI Task Force noticed McCabe’s late model green Mercury weaving in and out of the left-hand lane.
The car was clocked at 69 mph on Route 18, even after McCabe had past a posted 45 mph speed limit sign, according to the arresting officer, Sgt. Allan Quercia.
When McCabe was pulled over, the officer said he noticed the odor of alcohol on McCabe’s breath, and that his eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred.
According to the police report, McCabe swayed and staggered and couldn’t perform several standard DWI tests at the traffic stop. McCabe submitted to and failed two breathalyzer tests taken at police headquarters. He had a 0.14 blood alcohol content, above the legal 0.10 limit.
McCabe said he had been to a party in honor of Labor Commissioner Albert Kroll and to a New Brunswick bar afterward. He claimed that he had had two glasses of wine with sandwiches before 9 p.m., almost five hours before he was stopped on suspicions of DWI.
Dubbed a member of the "Woodbridge Mafia" that McGreevey took with him when he went to Trenton last year, McCabe has had an association with the governor most of his adult life.
McCabe, 30, started his career as an aide and chauffeur to McGreevey when he was mayor of Woodbridge.
A high school graduate, McCabe served as McGreevey’s chief of staff and was also appointed as a code enforcement supervisor over the township’s licensed code officials.
McGreevey had a closet in his suite of offices in the Woodbridge Municipal Building revamped into a workspace for McCabe even though it wasn’t near the department that McCabe supervised.
The governor said at the time that he needed quick proximity to McCabe because he relied heavily on his advice.
McCabe served as Woodbridge Democratic Municipal Chairman before McGreevey whisked him away when he was sworn in as governor last year.
McCabe was appointed to the deputy commissioner of labor post upon his arrival in Trenton at a salary of $114,900..
Other members of the "Woodbridge Mafia"-- longtime McGreevey associates who have roots back in his Woodbridge administration-- include State Treasurer John McCormac and former Chief of Staff Gary Taffet.
McCabe could not be reached for comment.

Brings new meaning to being "in the closet."
I wonder if they were "in the closet," too (smirk).
Atos
A high school graduate? Wow, McGayvey must use different credentials for his "positions".

Boy is this just too funny! He kept this guy in his "closet", gee I wonder how long this person has spent on McGreedy's staff?????
Pantry?
Oh.
I thought you said panty.
LOL.
He seems to have the need to have prospective sexual partners close by at all times.
If I am right, it is quite possible that he attacked the Israeli guy.
This story just gets weirder and weirder.
Yeah, like the homeland security guy Cipel's position between the sheets qualified him for the job.
Looks like the Trentonian could use a copy editor.
The question is, what did they do in that closet?
McGay is seriously disturbed. His chronic condition might make Johns Hopkins put back homosexuality on the list of mental disorders that Dr John Money removed few years back.
McGay might also be priapic, and always in need of "relief."
I don't doubt he attacked Cipel in a priapic moment.
I don't know about the closet guy but some newspapers are reporting that McGay forcibly performed o/s on Cipel.
Don't believe it. What really happened is that McG accompanied Cipel into the Statehouse urinals when McGay accidentally slipped and fell.
In one of those crazy, unforseen situations, somehow McGay's mouth landed on Cipel's private parts.
Now McGay was so stunned, his mouth locked on Cipel's privates and he couldn't let go no matter how hard he tried.
McGay just kept trying and trying, but his mouth simply would not release Cipel's privates.
Cipel---a poet, sailor, and PR man--was too politically correct to ask McGay to let go of his privates.
Finally help arrived when McG's aide came in to use the urinal.
The aide helpfully held Cipel down while McGay finished unwrapping his mouth from Cipel's privates.
And that's what really happened.
LOL!!!!
It's dreary here in my part of VA as well - so the chuckles from NJ are greatly appreciated!!!
glad I kept reading - was just about to make the identical observation!
That way, you have more time to produce the toxic waste we crave!
Send more!
LOL!!!!
Nothing personal, because I know there are good, decent conservatives in NJ and NY, but one of the leading reasons we left Delaware was because of the huge influx of the other type from NY & NJ into DE.
It would not surprise me to find out that McGreevey and company either have a place or fiends with places in Rehoboth Beach, of both political parties.
In his press conference McGreevey never named Cipel as the man with whom he had an affair...some of his aides used his name in reference to blackmail...what if this guy from Woodbridge is the boy toy and Cipel is really straight and was harassed? This guy McCabe was 18 and fresh out of high school...very vulnerable to McGreevey's advances IMHO...also he may be falling apart and driving drunk because of what he fears will come out.
I'm guessing his "advice" was delivered on his knees with his mouth wide open.

Question for you...there are what, 5 major papers IN ew Jersey ..excluding the NY and PA papers which often comment on NJ affaiors..but the in-state papers, what's been the editorial consensus on whether or not McG should go ASAP?
Yeah...... and when McG said, "turn over, I'm done with this side, let me juice the other side," the staff thought they were discussing cooking techniques.
ROTFLMCO.......... cute little twinkie isn't he?
From surfing the i-net and reading FR posts, my sense is that almost all of the NJ papers (including tri-state papers) editorially demanded McG step down...... with 1-2 exceptions.
Makes you kind of wonder, doesn't it?
BTW...when McG was considering fighting the charges,before deciding to resign, one of his defenses was gonna be that because Cipel was an Israeli, McG, in an effort to seem friendly and make him feel at home, was always offering Cipel "hummus"..which Israelis eat a lot...Cipel misunderstood this kindness as offering him "hummers"..preobably becuse McG has a terrible Yiddish accent.....hey, it's better than the meaning of "is"..
ROTFLMCO......tears rolling down my face.....holding my tummy. That is funny. Best laugh of the day.
Come to think of it, Cipel did look (ahem) hungry, LOL.
I try.....(g)..glad you enjoyed it...
Will he go?
Depends on what the Dims internal polls look like.
I'm sure they are in hurly contact with Kerry.
There are a lot of unknowns.
More damaging revelations might surface, more boy toys might have salacious stories to tell, more political corruption from appointees, and the like, will take their toll.
Is that the reason McGreevey put a "glory hole" in the closet wall?
The Dems problem is that they have a week, at best, to decide..if they tough it out, let McG stay and THEN the really bad stuff starts to come out, it's anybody's guess..BTWE..just heard a caller on Rush say that if their is an election, then Steve Forbes should be the GOP candidate..he's been silent..haven't seen his name lately...whaddaya think?
It's been rumored that that particular item is an attraction at gay clubs like Ramrod in New York City.
One of the attractions is that it offers anonymous sex. They poke it through, and don't know who's doing it to them.
If only everyone know how sick these people are.
The thing I like about what's happening in New Jersey is the primitiveness of the political situation.
There are so many unknowns.
Musta been like elections were in the beginning of democracy.
No focus groups, no advisors, no spinning, etc.
They also do not wear blue dresses. They do, however smoke cigars. Similarities here may abound...
...just as the the oval office also has a notorious 'pantry.'
Hmm.
Forbes? No.
Oh, OK. Thanks for the clarification. LOL.
The stench of corruption is damn strong in NJ.
Here's a thought..if we had cable..the 24 hour cable nets..talk radio, and the internet, in 1964..Goldwater would have beaten LBJ...
"We're doing our best, here in NJ, to keep the rest of the nation amused."
LOL! And you're doing an outstanding job of it. Keep up the good work! ;)
Don't forget - I left NY to go to Delaware........and VA is not immune to scandals either, from what I understand.
Now I just wish a few in Delaware could be so publicly taken down!!! The current scandals there are not making the national news.......yet.
We have been conditioned to the perpetual election cycle which has been fueled by huge amts of campaign money in the system.
Early elections were much shorter dictated primarily by voters' attention span.
True..and it's only gonna get worse..they day after Kerry loses..Hillary's campaign begins..it's gonna be 24/7/365/4 years....
Heaven help us.
It's been nice not having to see her too often on TV.
I guess we just have to suck up and take the good with the bad, don't we?
This is hilarious. It's the exact same thing McGay said about his Israeli friend when they went apartment-hunting, and McGay personally inspected the nearby prospective Chez Gay - something to the effect of him having to be available for consultation 24/7. Yeah, that's what it is.
Oh, come and share. Give us a link and some background. Nothing much in NY, but the usual late budget battles........
Yup, that turd Cipel said he was on-call for the guv 24/7.
Man, that McG must have a sexual appetite that rivals the Marquis de Sade.
Betcha the creep is into all kinds of S and M stuff. Maybe domination with whips and chains.
Somebody ought to check the personal ads in these S and M and domination magazines to see if McG advertised.
Unfortunately there are no links to give about the gay congressman - the media has always kept that very quiet.
But there are all kinds of sex and money scandals in the northern part of the state with the County Exec and his chief administrative officer - both retired county cops......and both currently under federal indictment.
I can only dream of the hildebeast being under federal indictment. I would even settle for a DWI with chuckie.......instead I've got dems fighting with Pataki about a state budget.
