Money For Nothing.

I don't feel good about "Gay American" Jim McGreevey. I also don't feel good about how much we have in common. He and I are both Gay Americans. He was born eight years before me, almost to the day, both under the Leo sign. We were both born on the east coast, although he was born on the other side of the river, in Jersey City. And we're both Democrats. (insert heavy sigh here) Former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey will be here in Denver at the amazing Tattered Cover Book Store to sign his new book, The Confession. I remember first hearing about McGreevey's coming out. I was in Seattle for work and I immediately called my well-connected political dad in New Jersey and I'll never forget what he told me: "Even I thought he was gay." To this day it still makes me laugh.

Like my dad, David Letterman has made me laugh for a long time. This one is too good not to share:

Not funny was how this happened. McGreevey was not straight with the public in many ways. His "pay to play" tenure as the Garden State's Governor is conduct unbecoming of a democrat. An extra marital affair and/or being gay are the last reasons he should have tendered his resignation. It disappoints me that a crooked politician has been turned into a gay hero. Well, at least he can write a book about it. And it's a best seller- #17 on the New York Times Best Seller List.

"Money For Nothing." I want my MTV.
