No Name Post #1
I've had an interesting last couple of days. I've gotten a chance to think about some stuff. I also got around to doing some stuff that I've been intending to do for a while.
Timi- My Ringtone (LOL)
I think I may be doing this voice recording thing more often because a sista is too cheap to pay $3 a month to transfer my blogger audio account to Movable Type.
Next Oprah: Politicians on the DL
I'm still shocked about this Gov. McGreevy drama. My mouth was to the floor as I watched him admit his fallacy on national tv. A few years ago when he was running against former NJ Gov. Christine Whitman, I volunteered for his campaign. I thought that he was a pretty cool guy. I guess we all have something that we'd like to keep secret. I know I do, so I can understand McGreevy's unwillingness to "come out" to the world. However, I must admit that I really don't feel sorry for this guy. I know it was hard for him to resign, but I really feel for his wife and his children. How selfish can you be Jim? Granted we all are a bit selfish at time, myself included, but dang. That's just over the top. I'd be extremely hurt and embarassed if my husband did that crap to me.
It's not about him being gay. If you're gonna be gay, at least be honest with yourself. It's about unfaithfulness. Regardless of who he slept with, the fact remains that he's forsaken his wedding vows. I wonder if his wife new his secrets prior to marrying him? It makes me wonder if she would've walked down the isle with him if she knew that he had a thing for men. It would be wise to share those secrets with your spouse prior to saying "I Do." That kind of baggage should not be carried into a marriage. I must applaud Mrs. McGreevey. She was calm and composed. I'm sure she wasn't like that when she found out. I would not have been that composed. I might have sucker punched in front of everyone.
I don't think he was very honest about his resignation either. Upon his admission, I believed that there was more to the story. Why would quit because your gay? Granted, not everyone is receptive to the homosexual lifestyle, but that's not an excuse to leave. However, Blackmail, fraud & scandal are all excuses to bust out. So in essence, he did the appropriate thing...he just didn't tell the entire story.
I bet good ol' boy Rick Santorum loved every moment of McGreevey's confession. I bet he watched it over and over again like a gagillion times with evil laughter. We all know how much Ricky hates homos
