Jim McGreevey Can't Come to Your Birthday Party :(

Do you remember Corey Johnson? He was the kid who was the co-captain of his high school football team, and maybe "the first high school athlete in the nation to declare his homosexuality so publicly while still enjoying the support of his teammates, parents and coaches," back in 2000. It's his birthday! He invited all his Facebook friends! One person, though, can't make it. Former New Jersey Governor and Gay American Jim McGreevey. He has a totally valid excuse! More »

Jim McGreevey's Puppies!

A tipster—who insists in no uncertain terms that he is not "friends" with the former governor of New Jersey and noted Gay American—forwards us this adorable image of Jim McGreevey's brand-new puppies. Sooo cute! Unfortunately, Dina Matos will sell them all to a puppy fur-obsessed heiress and use the money to buy more helicopters. [Facebook]

Male Escort, Homeless Guy Now Defining Governor Sex Discussion

If it sometimes seems like every American will be talking constantly and forever about politicians whoring and cheating and having threesomes, until, within our sad lifetimes, the political fabric of the nation turns to ashes and our economy is paralyzed and society burned to the ground, it's because that is probably what is going to happen. In the meantime, let's all read and think about these important sexual issues some more. Here is what everyone is saying about governors having sex with people other than their wives: More »

How Threesomes Started, Ended for New Jersey Guv

The New York Post dug into the alleged threesomes involving former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, his wife and their male driver and found, not surprisingly, that gay guv was more into the three-ways than his wife. He enjoyed them so much, in fact, that he invited the driver on a romantic getaway where McGreevey planned to propose to his then-girlfriend. (The girlfriend, who later married McGreevey, got really pissed and disinvited the driver.) The driver now has a girlfriend "of several years" and has not disclosed any contact between himself and the governor during the threesomes. But it appears the governor was not left out of the action. The driver told the Post: "He liked watching me, and she would watch me while she was [performing sex acts] with Jim." The whole thing started one fateful night, when McGreevey was mayor of Woodbridge, NJ, and the tale is maybe vaguely hot, at least by New Jersey standards: More »

Threesome With New Jersey Guv Out-Trashes Spitzer Scandal

New Jersey WILL NOT be out-trashed by New York, so a former driver has announced that not only did ex-Garden State Gov. Jim McGreevey have a gay lover, but also the governor's wife joined in on three-ways with the driver on many Friday nights from 1999 to 2001. The encounters would usually start with dinner at TGI Friday's — classy! — followed by sex between the driver and the wife at McGreevey's condo. They were known to all involved as "Friday Night Specials." From the Star-Ledger's story: "[Driver Theodore] Pedersen did not say if he was gay or bisexual and only described having contact with [Dina] Matos McGreevey during the trysts. He also said he never knew for sure if McGreevey was gay." McGreevey did not marry his wife until 2000, so the aide is saying the three-ways belie her claim to have been duped about her husband's sexuality. (Also, McGreevey was not elected governor until 2001, so the driver may not have been a driver at the time of the three-ways.) The aide's allegations are coming as Jim and Dina Matos McGreevey are battling over custody of their daughter. After the jump, video of Dina Matos McGreevey lending moral support to the wife of very-soon-to-be-former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, whose own cheating now seems just a little bit more tame.

All Apologizing Governors Look The Same

Eliot and Silda Spitzer apparently took fashion notes during the sex scandal of New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey: "If you own an American flag pin wear it to prove you’re still patriotic... Your wife should wear any sort of soft blue lady power suit... Nothing says I’ll stand by you more than a pearl necklace." [Blakeley on Boinkology]

"Pony rides and face painting don't make for a good parent," Dina Matmos McGreevey emailed to former Jersey love guv and gay seminarian Jim McGreevey last week, demanding that he cancel this coming weekend's 6th birthday party for their daughter because she has custody that week. Do you know what happens to kids whose parents use them as tools of petty revenge? That's right: Tiny Courtney Loves. [NYP]

Aww! New York Observer publisher and Ivanka Trump-lover Jared Kushner's dad Charles, who sponsored the work visa for then-Jersey gov Jim McGreevey's supposed Israeli lover-employee, has now hired his buddy McGreevey's new boyfriend to be the Kushner family corporation's chief investment officer! [NY Post]

Former New Jersey first lady Dina Matos McGreevey was just on It's Your Call With Lynn Doyle on the Comcast network, and we learned a lot about gay Americans. Like: you're probably married to one right now! According to some graphic they showed, "there are an estimated 2 million marriages where one spouse is gay." There wasn't really a source for that number so we'll assume Lynn and Dina just gave their best guess. Also there was an insane return from commercial where they showed the USS New Jersey and Lynn said "it is appropriately lit in pink, for breast cancer awareness, and also appropriate because of our guest." Because an estimated 2 million husbands across the country are secretly captaining huge pink battleships, sailing through the strait of betrayal and torpedoing the Good Ship Family.

Jared Kushner Gets The Trump Seal Of Approval!

On the Howard Stern show yesterday, Donald Trump noted that, according to a listener, his daughter "Ivanka was dating a 'very rich guy—not as rich as me, but a very rich guy' from a 'real estate family.'" Translation: That is basically a blessing from the goyim for New York Observer publisher Jared Kushner! ("Rich"="good.") Anyway, that's exactly the kind of Trumpism that we imagine gets the hackles up on Jared's daddy, New Jersey kingpin (and good pal of gay American Jim McGreevey) Charles Kushner. But hey, the real estate union of Jersey Jared and Manhattan Ivanka is good for everyone for now—just like an arranged marriage between little empires! Though we still don't think it's remotely possible that Jared will ever marry the shiksa. Prove us wrong, you adorable lovebirds! We want to believe.

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!

Dina McGreevey Wants A Faaaaabulous Jury Trial

Gay gov idiot turned seminarian Jim McGreevey has filed court papers that seem to be the faggiest escapade to hit New Jersey since Vito Spatafore first put on a leather harness. The Post does a particularly dreamy and lispy job with it:
Dina Matos McGreevey's tell-all memoir about her marriage to the Garden State's "Love Gov" sank like a stone because she's a fashion disaster who can't string together a sentence, the gay ex-governor claims.
Okay girl? Anyway. Dina Maaaatmos wants her trial. She will have her day in court! She is choosing cute outfits for it right now and practicing her sweeping arm gestures! She's all, "Eviiita! Eviiita!" Of course so is Jim. More »

Divine Intervention

The Post finally gives the wood to this week's revelation that Jim McGreevey (former New Jersey governor, Gay American, etc.) plans to become an Episcopal priest. (The news gives the paper an opportunity to summarize the recent conflict in the Anglican faith over the ordination of gays. It may be the most informative article the Post has ever provided its readership.) In any event, while we applaud the paper's vague restraint in its choice of headline, we think an event this joyous calls for a little more pizzazz. More »

Jim McGreevey Really Is Off To Priest School

As we told you Monday, Jim McGreevey actually is headed toward the seminary and a life of study and hot Episcopal devotion. Today's Star-Ledger comes in late and claims that he hasn't officially been accepted into the General Theological Seminary in West Chelsea—but we think that they're wrong and he has. Previous rumors that McGreevey was being sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Newark, however, are false. In fact, we hear they wanted nothing to do with him. That's weird! More »

Jim McGreevey: Gay Seminarian

We hear that former New Jersey gov Jim McGreevey has a new career planned—and that he'll enter the General Theological Seminary in Manhattan next year. (We know—this is the second-craziest rumor we've heard this week! Please tell us we're wrong?) A religious-type person says that the Episcopal Diocese of Newark will sponsor his training for the priesthood. McGreevey, a former altar boy and a graduate of the Catholic University of America, broke with the Catholic church circa 2005; his daughter is being raised a Catholic. What all this means for his very nice boyfriend, or for his Jewish-institution-funding pal Charles Kushner (sponsor of Golan Cipel's work visa!), we're just not sure.

McGreevey Beard Gets Jimbo Banned From Sleeping With Daughter, Lover At Same Time

Remember that epochal Times story a few weeks back about how kids share beds with parents now, till toddlerhood and puberty and beyond? Well, Karen Cassidy, the New Jersey judge handling the Jim McGreevey custody proceedings, laid down the law yesterday: You gays can have the right to get civil unioned and not to be bludgeoned or whatever, but you'll NEVER get to replicate trend pieces meant for the heteroworld! From the Daily News:
Matos McGreevey had her request for sole custody denied, and failed to stop the court from appointing a mediator to oversee Jacqueline's relationship with her parents, which McGreevey had asked for.
