Jim McGreevey Now New Jersey's Go-To Gay
It's probably just the five-year-old in us, but we can't help finding "back story" and "push hard" in the context of the New Jersey gay marriage story incredibly hilarious. In any event, as part of its coverage of yesterday's Supreme Court decision, the Times has the inevitable "but would Gay American Jim McGreevey get married?" piece. The former governor says that he would, and offers some thoughtful discussion about what the ruling will mean for young people. He also apologizes for opposing same-sex marriage while he was in office, saying "I only wish I had had the fortitude to embrace this basic right when I was governor."
Don't be too hard on yourself, Jim. It's hard to embrace anything when you've got a fistful of dirty money in one hand and an Israeli "terrorism expert" in the other.
