This just irritates me.
Tomorrow will be a big day for our former New Jersey Governor,
Jim McGreevey.
His memoir is being released and to kick off his book tour, he will be on the Oprah Winfrey show.
Here's what the New York Post writes about his book:
Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey's gay sex life blossomed as an eighth-grader and continued with trysts in seedy Times Square sex shops and at an abandoned synagogue in Washington, D.C., he reveals in his new memoir.Yes indeed, the skeletons are out of the closet. But what I find so incredulous is the fact that he will be embraced by Oprah and all her viewers for being "painfully honest" about his life. Part of me wants to watch the show to see if he will portray himself as the victim in all of this.
[...]
The tell-all is filled with sex - including his first hookup as a teen with a "cute, blond, skinny" schoolmate he'd fantasized about.
Here's why I'm ticked off.
First of all, he shamed the State of New Jersey with his licentious shennanigans. He also jeopardized our state's department of homeland security by hiring his unqualified lover as an advisor.
He was never honest. Not to the people of the State of New Jersey, but more importantly not to his wife. How awful for her. I read this in the Star-Ledger yesterday:
Two years removed from the most difficult chapter of her life, Dina Matos McGreevey is watching it unfold all over again.
On Tuesday, former Gov. James E. McGreevey's tell-all memoir, "The Confession," will be released across America, and the storm of publicity over the book has been like an assault to the senses.
With all the sensation there will be about Jim and his memoir, we should remeber to pray for the woman who was his wife. You know, the woman he vowed to love and cherish. He broke his vow, committed adultery and seems to find no shame in it. I'm afraid that our culture will embrace his "courage" to come out of the closet and never condemn his deception and adultery. Talk about double standard. Sheesh.
