I Am A Happy American
A couple of years ago the former Governor of New Jersey Jim McGreevey resigned from his position because he forgot to tell everyone in his state, including his wife, that he was gay.
OOPS.
His press conference announcing his resignation happened, ironically, JUST before he was going to be "outed" by a man he had a crush on. Instead of giving the object of his affection a tasteful floral arrangement or perhaps a pair of designer leather pants, he presented him with a gift of a six figure job somewhere in the Homeland Security Department of his state. So what if he wasn't qualified? Big deal if he wasn't an American citizen. He was HOT, and the Gov wanted some action!
But as soon as Governor Libido caught wind that there was a sexual harrassment lawsuit pending against him, he stood before the world and announced that he was a "Gay American." Poor guy. Joan of Arc has nothing on him.
Now he's running around the country plugging a book in which he says, basically, "I've known I was gay since I was three but I'm an a deceitful opportunist and a coward who got caught." HE doesn't word it quite that way, but those of us who don't belong to the "I'm Gay and No Matter What I Do I'm a Martyr Club" get it.
I hope his book tanks-I'd accept 332,653,000 on the Amazon.com "bestseller" list. I hope he's par boiled in every interview he does. And mostly, I hope his ex-wife writes a book that shoots immediately to the top.
Not that I have any personal bias regarding this issue or anything. I'd be happy to write a review of his book, but I don't think I could stomache the smell of going near it-even if Borders gave me a discount.

I heard that McGreevey picked up that dude in a $300.00 for 5 hours Black Stretch Limo (for buddy night.)
Does him being a Democrat have anything to do with this story?
Just curious (yellow)
Clinky,
Just because he likes designer shoes, shopping at Linen n' Things, and is an overall "fancy lad" doesn't mean that....
Oh. Nevermind.
Motheragawd,
Gay Republicans? It's almost an oxymoron (go ahead Clinky-spellcheck THAT one-it's AWESOME when you get a chance to use that word).
Do these handsome and perfectly groomed logcabin guys get that they weren't invited to the Party?
Pesky Gay Republicans-they're like the Wedding Crashers. Somebody call Security.
Hoagy is aka McGreevey!? I'm so confused...
