Let's get this straight, so to speak...

New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey is resigning because he is being blackmailed by the other party in an adulterous homosexual affair. He says he's ashamed of his behavior. Fair enough.

But it sounds like an effort is being made to make it appear that his homosexuality, which he announced for the first time in his resignation speech, is his reason for leaving office. To the extent that he cooperates in this, he's copping out.

He isn't the victim here. His wife is.
