The thing that disturbs me about the story is that he apparently appointed an unqualified foreign national to be in charge of New Jersey's homeland security program. That is inexcusable.

The sum of $5 million was mentioned on the news this morning. If this is true, talk about extortion backfiring: the employee dude fucks the governor then asks for $5 million in hush money. Instead, the governor turns to the press and says, yeah, "I used to fuck that guy", effectively outing both himself and the extortionist. Pretty slick.
