In New Jersey, governor Jim McGreevey held a stunning press conference yesterday where he announced that he was resigning from the office because he had an affair with another man. The governor said “I am a Gay American.” He said “Shamefully, I engaged in adult consensual affairs with another man, which violates my bonds of matrimony. It was wrong, it was foolish, it was inexcusable.” McGreevey became perhaps the country’s highest ranking politician to ever come out while serving in office. McGreevey announced his resignation ahead of a sexual harassment lawsuit which is expected to be filed shortly by his former aide. We’ll have more on this in a few minutes.
