This sucker McSeedy actually thinks people will believe he's a "victim" after all the depraved and perhaps illegal machinations he reduced himself to doing while in elective office. The list of federal crimes (not to mention crimes against the state) committed by ex-Gov Jim McGreevey, together with his Big Money Backer Charles Kushner (now incarcerated for political and business fraud), and their handyman, Golan Cipel (who absconded to escape US justice), would fill an encyclopedia of political crime waves.

It was all downhill from here when Jimbo and Golan met when then-Mayor Jimmy went on a politicans' obeisance tour to Israel to scrounge for votes and money. Even better than the tour, Jimbo brought Golan home as a vote-buying souvenir:

This pic of McGreevey meeting Golan Cipel in Israel occured just two weeks after McG proposed marriage to his now-ex Dina Matos. Nice guy. McG brought Cipel back to NJ and set him up in an apartment not far from his Mayoral office.

Fast-forward to August 12, 2004. Now-Governor McGreevey stunned a nationwide television audience when he announced he was gay and would resign from office. The Media quickly identified Golan Cipel as McGreevey's lovebug. McGreevey made himself into a victim. Golan was no prize either, and tried to blackmail the State of NJ into paying him big bucks to disappear. Cipel then fled to Israel to avoid prosecution, and tried to portray himself as someone who had been sexually harassed by Governor McGreevey. Law enforcement sources then told the media that the FBI was investigating Cipel's blackmail efforts. At first, attorneys for Cipel were alleged to have demanded millions of dollars from McGreevey in exchange for his not filing a sexual harassment lawsuit.

Then, just hours before McGreevey called his I am A Gay American press conference, Cipel’s demands allegedly included help by the Governor in allowing Touro College to build a campus in New Jersey. Among the members of the Board of this medical institute are Charles Kushner, with Robert Torricelli having been hired by the College to lobby on their behalf. Only 6 days after Governor McGreevey’s stunning announcement, Charles Kushner pleaded guilty to the campaign finance violations and blackmail charges involving sending his sister a videotape Kushner made of her husband and a prostitute. State charges should be mounted with regard to official acts taken by then-Gov McGreevey in the hiring and lying about Golan Cipel.

This guy is a criminal not a victim. Appointing his foriegn national homo lover to his state's Homeland Security job is an example of why the Dems can't be trusted.

I don't see why the Repubs don't exploit this egregious violation of the public trust.

Tell McGreevey to stick with his buttplug and not his pen.

[SkyPilot]

The book will include details about McGreevey's gay sex life

I wish to read the details of this "Gay-American's" homosexual nightmare as much as I wish to watch liposuction procedure on the Discovery channel.

Hey, the gay American is getting ready for a comeback. He's tan, he's rested and he's single. Above all he'll be running in New Jersey where they have the dumbest voters and most corrupt pols in America. Why can't a proud gay American win back his power?
