Bet that one got your attention, eh? The New York Post reports: “A former driver and aide to former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey yesterday made the bombshell claim that Dina Matos McGreevey must have always known her husband was gay - because he was the other man in bed with them.”

Ah, yes, the profound gravitas and level of statesmanship in our wonderful democracy never fails to impress.

The Post continues “In an explosive interview with The Post, the McGreeveys’ self-professed man in the middle, Teddy Pedersen, gave explicit details of three-way sex romps that he claimed to have had with the now-divorcing duo, starting during their courtship and continuing into the marriage.”

Is there some kind of conspiracy on the part of the media to keep on throwing this tawdry sex rubbish at us to distract us from something? Is Dubya trying to gin up an attack on Iran again?

The Post goes on: “Pedersen - who said he had already spilled the beans on the ménage a trois arrangement under oath in a deposition for the couple’s divorce battle - hinted that he thinks his presence was required to get Jim’s motor running for Dina. Matos McGreevey’s basic argument in her divorce war with the former gov is that he covered up his homosexuality and tricked her into a loveless marriage… But McGreevey confirmed the accounts. ‘This happened, this happened in the past, and now we need to move on with our lives.”

McGreevey had to resign from the Governor’s office three months after news broke of a Gay affair with Golan Cipel, McGreevey’s Homeland Security adviser. Curiously, Mr. Cipel was born an Israeli citizen and had been an officer in the Israeli military and active in politics in Israel. Apparently high profile Gays get all sorts of cushy job offers –even after disgracing themselves. McGreevey (believe it or not) now “teaches ethics, law and leadership at Kean University in Union, New Jersey” and he was promoting a book about his sordid lifestyle on the Oprah Show according to one source. McGreevey’s wife must think there’s a worthwhile alimony income for the taking otherwise we would not be hearing all the ugly details, charges and counter-charges during this especially nasty divorce.

Back to the Post: “Pedersen - who is named in Matos McGreevey’s court papers - agreed to talk about the alleged unconventional relationship after Dina sounded off to the media last week about Eliot Spitzer’s sex scandal. ‘It’s frustrating to hear her call Gov. Spitzer a hypocrite while she’s out there being as dishonest as anyone could be about her own life,’ said Pedersen, 29.”

After the recent Eliot Spitzer scandal and this latest revelation about McGreevey, one wonders if there’s anyone in our ruling elite who is not some kind of pervert or mentally ill in some way?
