When the mayor of New York City gets caught cheating on his wife, he's not exactly ousted out of office. But when the governor of New Jersey does it, he has to resign?

I'm sorry. I'm not saying cheating on your wife with another man is GOOD. But is it WORSE than cheating on your wife with another woman? I think not.

Edit: Nevermind. I see there was more to this that that he was gay and was having an affair. Check out Washington Post for more details.

Edit^2: OK, I can't help but feel really bad for McGreevey. I mean... if this had happened to any other middle-ager, this would be disasterous enough, but add the pressures of being a governor and being in the spotlight and all. Poor guy. I hope he gets things sorted out before the sharks attack.

I would say.. yes. Definately still cheating.

I have no idea if Mrs. McCheesy?!?! (hee) has made a statement.

He was called Mayor McCheesy by local radio guys aaaages ago. (Obviously, cuz he'd just been elected mayor then.)

Well, unless it was consensual. IF she agreed to basically an open marriage situation once she found out he was gay (and admittedly that's a big if for the wife of a politican)...cheating is in the eye of the beholder. It's her call to make, not anyone else's.

This is true. By the sounds of it, however, that was not the case. It could be an elaborate ruse to sort of save face, but at this moment, I doubt it.

*hasn't read enough outside of LJ to try to call that*

That aside, it's still her place to call it cheating or not. Though it would also be good if he could honestly face it himself, too.
