Ex-N.J. Gov. Admits 3-Way Sex; Wife Denies

Jim McGreevey Says Former Aide's Report Of Sexual Threesomes With His Wife Is True

(AP)  He says yes. She says no. He says yes.

Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey said Monday he and his wife and a male aide engaged in sexual threesomes, contradicting a denial issued hours earlier by his estranged wife.

In an e-mail to The Associated Press, the nation's first openly gay governor said published reports by former campaign aide Teddy Pedersen were true.

In interviews posted online Sunday night by The Star-Ledger of Newark and the New York Post, Pedersen said he had consensual sex with the couple for about two years before McGreevey became governor. He said he had contact only with Dina Matos McGreevey during the trysts, and wasn't sure whether McGreevey was gay.

In his statement, McGreevey said he and his estranged wife need to move forward for the sake of their 6-year-old daughter.

"This happened, this happened in the past, and now we need to move on with our lives," McGreevey, 50, said without being specific.

His e-mail to The Associated Press came shortly after one from Matos McGreevey. She said Pedersen's claims of consensual three-way sex "are completely false and were prompted by Jim McGreevey."

"Jim has had a close relationship with Pedersen since his days as mayor of Woodbridge, and arranged jobs for Pedersen from that time through his years as governor and beyond," said Matos McGreevey, 41. "They have continued their close relationship since Jim left office. This was obviously payback time for Pedersen."

The McGreeveys are in the midst of an acrimonious divorce. She accuses him of hiding his homosexuality before and during their marriage and has sued for damages. He has said she should have known he was gay.

Pedersen, 29, told the newspapers the threesomes went on for about two years during the McGreeveys' courtship and into their marriage. He said the trysts ended when McGreevey was elected governor in 2001.

Pedersen said he came forward because he was angry that Matos McGreevey was offering television commentary on the resignation of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who stepped down last week amid a call-girl scandal. During her commentary, Matos McGreevey said she was blindsided when her husband announced his homosexuality.

McGreevey resigned in 2004 after acknowledging an affair with a male staffer who he said was trying to blackmail him. The ex-staffer said he was sexually harassed by the Democratic governor.

The McGreeveys separated shortly after McGreevey's nationally televised speech in which he declared himself "a gay American."

Much more so than Demorat cowards, perverts, racists and traitors, chum.

before more gets posted why does it seem that the people most fascinated by this stuff rarely have a meaningful relationship with anything except the end of their arm?

[blazercoach1]

You know...it SHOULDN''T matter...but since CBS always makes sure to let us know the party affiliation when it''s a Republican that screws up, I don''t think it''s unfair to expect that the word "Democrat" should appear SOMEWHERE in this article about McGreevy.....

[inventagod]

News services and reporters are too chickensh*t to go after Bu$hCo and other real criminals. G*y-bashing is far easier than front-line investigative journalism. So sad, America...

[tomanyt]

Pelosisaho2...You must be off your medication or just stupid.

[barbaraf4]

The reason you don''t hear these things about Republicans is that power and money are their s*e*x*u*a*l pleasure. Most of them look like they never take off their suits, so the thought of getting naked and sweaty is beyond their comprehension.

[tomanyt]

william19491...If this is true, at least it was done in private and not a public airport bathroom!!!

[alexma50085]

Don''t you just love how when one s e x scandle surfaces, our reporters scrounge around to find another? Same thing goes for when kids are killed and guns are used for mass murders. I guess we''ll just be reading about s e x for the next week or two until another "contraversery" surface.

This article is definetly for enquiring minds.

What is going on with CBS?
Digging into this is important because? ?

Slow news day.

Who cares? He resigned.

Where is bathroom enthusiast Larry Craig right now? Voting on the Senate floor?

Where''s ********** enthusiast and diaper wearer David Vitter? Oh that''s right he''s still in office too.


lol!

Hey all you nutty LIBS---I see you are out early today--you idiots just love to take 5 or 6 of you and gang up on the one Repub don''''t you- . . ..

If they had computers in men''s bathroom stalls you''d have more of your "pals" defending you.

[stn_sage]

As Mr. McGreevey is now out of office, I believe this story as far less relevancy than it would have if he were still in office---though, it''s interesting! Oh, the lifestyles so many of these politicians live---!

[l8c6]

Who run''s the media? Amazing how these *** scandals emerge at a time when the majority of people are being fleeced by the big monetary players who own the government and the media.

The promoters of "free market" and "privatization" promote these ideas when they are turning profits and then demand that the "little people" bail them out by nationalizing the burden on the big player''s downside when profits have subsided. Meanwhile these corporate media pimps focus the ignorant on an elected official''s di*ck and what he''s doing with it of course more than likely an elected official inclined to expose the sociopaths that are running the american people''s financial future into the ground.

This has to be one of the FUNNIEST post I''ve read in a loooong time.

I re-read it and it still makes me laugh.
Thanks william19491.
Confirms that skrewballs are good for at least a laugh.

[indivthinker]

There is no excuse for any politician or anyone to do anything like this. Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, and Jack Ryan with the Republicans. Bill Clinton, Eliot Spitzer, and Jim McGreevey for the Democrats.

What is wrong with this country? What ever happened to morals that our politicians used to have?

Fist post that has any credibility. It''s all about the lack of morals with most ALL politicians, regardless of political affiliation.

[tazntpa]

indivthinker: When exactly did Politicians have morals?????? And besides, who cares about McGreevy''s indiscretions - we have bigger things to worry about! Economy, Healthcare, Iraq, etc. I really don''t care about this kind of stuff.

Ahh, I''m not sure what you are saying.

I do know one of the founders, Ben-jamin Franklin wrote a great article about how to pick a mistress.

[erichsh]

Hey zoe2006,
this article was about a Democratic governor who resigned in the face of a sleazy *** scandal (no, not Spitzer, another Democrat). Any comments re: Democrats?????

[tomanyt]

You can not be a politician and have any morals. It just doesn''t mesh.

I see what you mean, but the lack of morals in BOTH parties is a part of why they make bad decisions when it comes to running the country with no guilt or accountability whatsoever. It''s all kinda tied together in my opinion, so you should care.

[deemsnyd]

deemsnyd at 11:40 AM : Mar 17, 2008

The entire Republicon party has no morals! Corruption, fraud, no-bid contracts, a war in Iraq (and no end, after 5+ years), financial corruption, illegal wiretapping, kickbacks to oil companies, etc.

Posted by zoe2006 at 11:44 AM : Mar 17, 2008


Apply this kind of thinking to BOTH parties and you''ve got my vote.

[rushlimpdrug]

The only moral people are liars, politicians, and lawyers.
Oh, and preachers.
Especially preachers.
Of course I am the most moral person on earth.
I wouldn''t lie about that, really.

Only in the sexually repressed United States would this constitute "news" -- elsewhere, people who are into this sort of thing just do it, instead of having to drool over their newspapers reading about it.

Actually, this sort of thing has been common since the ancient Greeks and before. It''s just not talked about anywhere except in puritanical cultures where the craving exceeds the supply.

[sharednotion]

I get tired of hearing these kinds of things about public officials. What about how they perform their PUBLIC duties? If Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein had been like today''s reporters, we might have never learned the truth about Watergate; Woodward & Bernstein might have been preoccupied following leads on some *** scandal.
