I'll go with ElectraWoman, but it really, really, really doesn't matter. How long ago was this?

I wonder if Rick Perry will join the inevitable support group.

Fox News has the video of his speech. Powerful, brave stuff.

I agree. It's a shame that kind of integrity is more often seen as a barrier to public office in this country than it is a qualification.

Maybe if he'd shown that integrity earlier he wouldn't be resigning now. Not to say NJ is any more broad-minded than the rest of the country, but the guy is resigning for having an extramarital affair. Integrity?

The affair is understandable given his personal circumstances. As for his showing the integrity earlier, give me a break. When New Jersey elects an openly gay governor, I'll vote for Alan Keyes for carpetbagger....uh, senator.

Funny, I don't remember the sleestaks being elbow-throwing assholes... I would have guessed Rodman.

Megadittos. Does anyone know if there is any truth to the rumor that his lover was Hillary Clinton? Either way its bad news for CambodiaKerry as NJ will certainly swing to the Right side now.

I have sympathy for him, no doubt, but many, many affairs are understandable - not just those that are the result of being in a marriage that is not compatible with one's sexuality. It doesn't mean he is any less deceptive.

Well, wife was standing by his side when he confessed all. Seems that she's at least publically ok with it. I don't think anyone would have blamed her if she'd have left his ass or leaked the whole thing to the press before his announcement.

I know a few people who got married and later figured out/acknoweldged that they were gay. Initially, their spouses were understandably pissed off, but after a few months, the former spouses were very close friends. I think that a lot more slack is given to someone who's having an affair because they're gay than for other reasons.

I don't give a rat's ass about the affair, but a guy who's allegedly sexually harrassing people below him shouldn't be in office.

That said, whether he's leaving because he's gay or because of the alleged harrassment, he's knuckling under way too early. Barney frank got pinched years ago for having a gay hustler use his office for some scams, and he overcame it.
