I have a question for people who don't live in NJ.
If your state had a Governor whose friends got indicted right & left, and who then came out as gay as s/he resigned in disgrace, would the people in your state get more worked up about the corruption, or about the homosexuality? Would it bother them more that he had a boyfriend, or that he hired his (unqualified, non-citizen, over-paid) boyfriend to be head of the state's homeland security?
I'm asking because I just finished reading McGreevey's book (capsule review: funnier than he intended) and I'm writing up a review, and I wonder if it says something unusual about NJ that we're a lot more ticked about the corruption thing than the gay thing, or even the adultery thing. Personally I think our state motto should be, "New Jersey: Tolerant But Cynical".
