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'll cut him a lot of slack, but I'm not sure integrity is the first thing I'd praise him for. Bravery? Sure. Certainly I feel for the guy right now.

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.

His lack of integrity had nothing to do with extramarital sex per se, what he did that was really wrong was put his illicit young lover who had no experience to speak of on the taxpayer's payroll. As the head of homeland security. What homeland was he thinking of? His ass?

And that's just for starter's, plenty of other dirt and corruption besides that was circling around this loser.

Good riddance.

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.

SEbby, I love you. Will you be a sperm donor for my love child?

One of Mrs. Hand's best childhood friends went through this with her Dad, who divorced her Mom and moved to San Francisco with his new partner. Her friend was apparently angry at first but got over it, her friend's siblings not so much. We went to her wedding and naturally her Dad and his partner were there, but you could definitely feel the tension that weekend.

query: Is it possible for a hate fuck to result in a love child?

Just wondering.

No, but I believe you can unsuck a cock.

Always with the rats with you people. Yes, yes, we get it. Rats are worthless creatures, and their asses are, um, even less than worthless - they subtract value. Because we beeg beeg humans get to decide which of God's other cretaures have value and how much value they have.

Anyhoo, I know everyone hates the "Here is what I am listening to" posts because they are perceived as being nothing more than desperate cries of "Hey, look how cool I am!" But, really, could not every FB post ever be described the same way? Some are just less effective than others. Anyhoo again, I'm not going to tell you about you the CDs in my car or whatever, just one song: "Sea Groove" by Big Boss Man. I have it on the new Thievery Corporation DJ mix, The Outernational Sound. That damn organ is so groovy that when I listen to the song, I am always transported in my mind to a darkened club with a dance floor heavily populated by beautiful, nubile, and fabulously-dressed women who know how to dance so well it could make you cry, which is weird because not only have I never been to such a club, but I cannot even imagine what one would be like. Except when I listen to "Sea Groove" by Big Boss Man. My apologies to those I have annoyed with my deperate cyber-cry for a perception of coolness. But, if you have an opportunity, check that song out.

You sap Ty! The people who I feel sorry for our my neighbours across the river in New Jersey. I pray that there is not a terrorist attack in New Jersey in the next several months and may Satan have mercy on the democrats who let it happen if there is.

Although I worry that there will be given the fact that this louse of a Governor was doling out National Security jobs to his non-citizen lover, irregardless of gender, and the fact that he just made himself a lame-duck governor for 90 days the state is a sitting target.

Playing with New Jersey's security is shameful and treasonous. Perhaps he is a collaborator with Al Qaeda.

A Penske by any other name still smells as...right wing.
