Listening to the chatter about Jim McGreevey, I keep thinking of Bill Clinton & Monica Lewinsky.
Everyone knew Bubba was lying, but:
he stood his ground; refused to resign; survived an ill-conceived impeachment attempt; and generated enough sympathy for his wife and enabler so that, with no experience whatsoever, she was elected senator from a state she never lived in.
Now, four years later, they are both very rich, best-selling authors. Bill is a Democratic Party Elder Statesman. Hillary is constructing a power base to run for President 2008 or '12, or '16, or '20. Not bad for survivors of an incessant and unrelenting media lynch mob.
One wonders how many years must pass before a politician like Jim McGreevey can survive a gay sex scandal the way Clinton finessed Monicagate and still end up a winner and the beloved best little boy in all the world?
