McGreevey Resigns; Is Gay

And this breaking story...

NJ Governor James McGreevey resigned today after revealing that he is gay and that he carried on an adulterous affair with a man.

McGreevey said his affair and sexuality -- "if kept secret" -- would leave the governor's office "vulnerable to rumors, false allegations and threats of disclosure."

Even as he acknowledged his sexuality, McGreevey spoke of the "suffering and anguish" he had brought to his family and friends, saying he would "almost rather have this moment pass.

"For this is an intensely personal decision and not one typically for the public domain," McGreevey said of his revelation. "Yet, it cannot and should not pass."

All I can say is Whoooaaa.... Actually, that's not true: It would've been better if he were a republican.
