Lot’s of talk on Oprah about his historic struggle and decision to come out of the closet — a historic decision, no doubt — but nothing about the culture of corruption that made it impossible for former Gov. James McGreevey to stay in office. New Jersey would have accepted a gay governor; it just couldn’t accept the slime that came with the McGreevey administration.

I don\’t think that McSleezey\’s corruption even registered on the NuJerzee voters. I bet if he ran again a la Lieberman, then he\’d win. And, the people get the gubamint they deserve. I vote every election against incumbents. yet they win. Nationally 98% get returned to office. So like the school budget votes, it\’s rigged. (And, maybe after all the voting machine scandals, it is really really rigged!) Rigged in the sense that the powers that be figure out the rules to keep themselves in power. Just look at the kulture of korruption in NuJerzee. It\’s not something new. And, unfortunately, I don\’t see anything changing anytime soon.Ferdinand John ReinkeKendall Park, NJ 08824Webform that creates an urgent email => http://public.2idi.com/=reinkefj Web page => http://www.reinke.cc/ My blog => http://reinkefj.wordpress.com/
