Not Just Gay, Nor Merely Adulterous

Don't forget that the real Gov. McGreevey story is that he was massively crooked. Not just installing his putative lover in a $100K-a-year homeland-security position for which he had no apparent qualifications. There was the bribery scheme with the codeword "Machiavelli". His head of state police had to resign because of connections with the mob. He had aides resigning after only a few months in office because of corruption scandals. John Fund breaks it down, along with some possible structural explanations for the Garden State's perpetual corruption problem, in the Wall Street Journal Online. Man, and I thought Rhode Island was crooked.
