Jim McGreevey Checks Into Jesus's Little Image Rehab

We never thought this great day would come! But yesterday was the first day of school at Chelsea's General Theological Seminary for former New Jersey gov Jim McGreevey. Says the NYDN: "He avoided press outside the college, but spoke to the Daily News briefly. 'I'm trying to be respectful of the seminary and their culture. They're really low key,' he said." Heh. It's like you can see him whispering from the bushes. And just like that, no one will ever think of McGreevey as a self-serving closeted adulterous opportunistic scheming sloppy hack bridge and tunnel mess ever again!

Because we're so foul-mouthed ourselves, and so accustomed to screaming at children, and also to treating everyone around us like garbage, we were surprised by the force of the anti-Baldwin sentiment still rising in New York. (Well, this is after all the new New York, the one where everyone's kind to tweens, instead of turning them out on the corner like Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver.) Our two most recent stalker sightings, from this afternoon and last night, both take a seriously dim view of the crude-mouthed actor.
