Poor sad ex-TGI Friday’s gay romancer and New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey is so poor that he lives on cat food and canned beans, so he cannot spare any wooden nickles from his bindle for his betrayed former wife who “should have known he was gay” when she married him. MORE »

Now that America is about finished with New York and its terrible sordid sex scandals, a nation turns its lonely eyes to New Jersey for more smut. And New Jersey delivers! Remember that other governor who had to resign because he slept with some non-wife sort of person? It turns out former New Jersey Governor James McGreevey maybe used to have sex with his wife and some other dude, at the same time. Worse yet, these unspeakable acts allegedly followed weekly dinners at T.G.I. Friday’s. MORE »

James “I Am A Gay American” McGreevey resigned as governor of New Jersey in 2004 with his wife by his side. That relationship went to shit after it turned out that he’d been fucking around on her with men pretty much their entire marriage and didn’t resign because he was gay so much as that he’s was about to get slapped with a sexual harassment suit over the gay man he put on the payroll. It didn’t get better when he went on Oprah and bragged that he got his first piece of ass from the guy while his wife, Dina, was in labor with their daughter, Jacqueline. She turns 6 this weekend, but the way. Guess how her estranged parents celebrated?
