Reverend Jim McGreevey has gotten his celestial shorts in a bunch over Dina Matos’ renewed airings of her humiliation by his actions during Eliot Spitzer week. Via collusion, McGreevey’s cohort informs us of threesomes in their past. This hearsay evidence is the best Jimbo can hope; the kind that plants seeds yet can’t be proven. Of course if false, this statement converts to perjury in a court of law.
One can rationalize a kind, lovely albeit naïve woman like Dina agreeing to such a circumstance as an attempt “to keep” her husband. However, if the ex-Governor has this evidence hanging over her head, why would she vehemently detest McGrevey’s behavior in TV, radio and print media? Why would McGreevey omit this arrangement in his liberating “tell all” memoir book, which would make for salacious details and great book sales? Did he have a sudden bout of honorability? His current actions depict a man devoid of character.
McGreevey continues to play “the man scorned” stooping to any level to defend his perceived oppression, and defend his misconception as to why he resigned. He didn’t resign because he is a Gay American; that is an affront to U.S. Congressman Barney Frank, N.Y. City Council President Christine Quinn and the countless number of Senators, Mayors and other Civil Servants who are openly gay. Governor McGreevey used State funds and services to conduct an underground sexual tryst, used undue influence in obtaining said tryst, and placed himself in the position to be blackmailed while having access to state funds.
Most ludicrous of his assertions is the claim Dina “should have known” of his being gay. This is like telling a victim of a pyramid scheme they should have known they were being conned while being conned. Absurd! Why would someone knowingly continue to be duped?
McGreevey sounds like a punished child on the verge of losing his toys, and will whine and lie to defend against such an outcome. He needs to act like an adult, take his medicine and make amends, a concept the right reverend should embrace not only to his wife whom he deceived, but to the mother of his child and his daughter. I doubt that means anything to him. His sole interest is self preservation sans respect or decency. In lieu of any contrition, New Jerseyans would just like this freak to go away.
