[indistinct conversations] in 2004, the democratic governor of new jersey, Jim Mcgreevey, stepped into a press room just like this and became an Overnight Sensation when he admitted to a gay affair and resigned in the same speech. A governor coming out of the closet was genuinely shocking, a careerkiller at that time. Looking back, though, i cant help but feel that we were also quick to embrace the headline that we may have forgotten to dig a little deeper, because the reason why Jim Mcgreevey resigned is a lot more complicated than we remember. Ah, new jersey americas communal jacuzzi, or cesspool, depending on who you ask. [glass shatters] a land with its own unique culture and customs and a Political Landscape than can be rather. Shall we say, in your face. Youre done. Its 4 30. Youve maximized your tan. Get off the beach. New jersey is a roughandtumble place, man, you k
