Oh no! Poor sad Jim McGreevey. At least he has adorable puppies to cheer him up.

• The Times cast a wide net to gather reaction to all the recent kinky governor action going on with Eliot Spitzer and his whores, David Paterson and his mistresses and Jim McGreevey and his driver and his wife. A male escort said we're cheapening politics and keeping otherwise brillitant johns from running for office. A homeless man said something on a cardboard sign, and the newspaper was amused but criticized his syntax. [NYT]
• In the same story, the Times pointed out that adultery is actually illegal in New York. So why isn't Paterson gone yet?
• Paterson is so not worried about that supposedly dirty tape of him talking to one of his mistresses. [Post video]
• Playgirl, assuming this is really the porn magazine's blog, would like to cut a deal with Spitzer. Somehow I doubt it will involve as many digits as his whore's deal. [Playgirl]
• DC's Mayflower Hotel is basically the Grand Central of whoring and debauchery, having hosted not only Spitzer and his hooker but also JFK's mistress, Clinton hookup Monica Lewinsky and former mayor Marion Barry and his crack pipe. "We are in the business of selling rooms... And the escort services are in the business of keeping our guests happy." [NYT]
• Spitzer hooker Ashley Dupre may turn against two of her lesser pimps and rat them out in court. [Post]

[Driver Theodore] Pedersen said the threesome started as an "idea" he and McGreevey tossed around during the aide's long hours behind the wheel for the Woodbridge pol.

"We developed a good relationship - we were colleagues, but we were friends," Pedersen said, adding that, once Dina and Jim's romance bloomed, she was often in the car with them headed to various political events.

"There was a level of comfort that evolved into, eventually, hints of pushing it into this sexual realm," Pedersen said.

"Jim and I thought we could see if she would go for it - beyond just the hints in conversation," Pedersen said.

"So one night we came in, I went down to the basement bathroom, and when I came up, to my shock, she was basically undressed and on the loveseat with Jim. So I sat on the couch and watched and eventually joined in.

"And that's how it got going," he said. "We came up with this nice little formula for making it work."

Other revelations in the Post story:

• The driver said he is revealing all this now because he was just deposed after the wife subpeoned him in the couple's divorce battle.
• "The former driver said he believes that Dina subpoenaed him as an end-run around her estranged hubby, to see what he would say if he was called on by McGreevey's side."
• McGreevey removed a "coy" reference to a third person in his marriage from his 2006 memoir "the Confession," a Regan Books source told the Post.
• There were threesomes in hotels while McGreevey was traveling on business, right under colleagues' noses.
• After the McGreeveys married in October 2000, the threesomes became more subdued and shifted to Saturday morning, at home in the couple's condo.
• Then things tapered off. The driver told the Post: "She sealed the deal, she got what she wanted, the nice life, the governor's mansion, and she would do everything in her power to keep it."
• As in the Star-Ledger story, the driver is basically saying he thinks the wife is a big liar, pretending she was a victim of her husband's gay philandering when "she was a willing participant."

Spitzer of course resigned after a hooker scandal and allegedly after 10 years and $80,000 of whoring. Spitzer's wife has not said much to the press but appeared pretty broken up when appearing by her husband's side as he apologized.

Star-Ledger: McGreevey aide says he had sexual trysts with ex-governor, wife

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.

On Oprah yesterday, the soon to be ex-wife of New Jersey's ex-governor debuted her candid tale of betrayal and heartbreak—at least, the parts of it the Post hasn't already covered—and also her adorable little-girl lisp. Here she's telling about how Jim "Gay American" McGreevey instructed her to behave like a certain heroic first lady. "Jackie Kennedy? Her husband was murdered!" Dina recalls saying. It's kind of the funniest Jackie reference since The House of Yes!

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.

But she did win a victory in barring her daughter from sharing a bed with her husband and his partner.

[The judge] also ruled McGreevey use "common sense" over what aspects of his lifestyle he may expose Jacqueline to, after furious complaints from her mother that he had a life-size photograph of a nude male model hanging on his bedroom wall.

One of the most contentious issues in the divorce is what the child should be exposed to. Her mother made McGreevey and his partner take down a nude photograph in their home, contends that Jacqueline should not be allowed to sleep in her father's bed, and says that the girl should not be allowed to receive communion in the Episcopal Church because she is being raised a Roman Catholic.
