Will the McGreevey's Please Go Away

The McGreedy saga continues:

A former aide to James E. McGreevey said today that he had three-way sexual trysts with the former governor and his wife before he took office, challenging Dina Matos McGreevey's assertion that she was naive about her husband's sexual exploits.

The aide, Theodore Pedersen, said he and the couple even had a nickname for the weekly romps, from 1999 to 2001, that typically began with dinner at T.G.I. Friday's and ended with a threesome at McGreevey's condo in Woodbridge.

They called them "Friday Night Specials," according to Pedersen.

Well isn't that pleasant?

Nice people the governor had working for him, huh? First he had a Homeland Security Director who was allegedly McGreedy's little love machine and was about as competent as any bum on the street and now we have details of an aide who was involved in a three way with the guv and his wife who was shuttled to exotic locales at the expense of NJ taxpayers.

In light of the Spitzer revelations last week, isn't it about time we held these scumbags to a higher standard? The newspapers that cover the Capital know all about these shortcomings yet hold to the JFK/Bill Clinton standard whereby they don't report on sex-related stories. The fact that the sex issues show a great deal about ones character seems to escape those intrepid reporters. I look at it this way: if a man can't keep the most solemn oath he'll ever make (to his wife) than I can't rightly expect him to be honest about anything, ever.

Update: In a related story, Charlie Sheen gets dragged in to the Spitzer affair.
