When Harlequin meets Hoboken
by David Benzion · 09/19/2006 11:11 amGay-American and Former New Jersey Gov. James McGreevy has a book out, and New York magazine has extensive excerpts.
It is one of the nuttiest things I’ve read in a long time.
On December 10 or 11, after I rebuffed several requests for meetings, Golan reached me on my cell phone, upset that I’d been out of touch. I invited him over to the condo for a late dinner, to assure him that he had a future in the administration. He arrived in a suit and tie, dressed impeccably as always. With Dina still in the hospital with our newborn, I was left to my own devices for dinner. I think we ate cold cereal.
He was politely appreciative. We sat at the dining-room table talking and half- watching the cable news, our shared addiction. I don’t know at what point it occurred to me that something more was about to happen. But I know how it started. I stretched out on the couch and placed my legs over his knees, as I’d done previously in the car. I then leaned forward and hugged him, and kissed his neck. His response was immediate and loving.
It was wrong to do. I wasn’t an ordinary citizen anymore. There were state troopers parked outside. My wife was in the hospital. And he was my employee. But I took Golan by the hand and led him upstairs to my bed. He kissed me. It was the first time in my life that a kiss meant what it was supposed to mean—it sent me through the roof. I pulled him to the bed and we made love like I’d always dreamed: a boastful, passionate, whispering, masculine kind of love. When he was gone, I realized that this might all explode on me one day, but I just didn’t care. I felt invincible then.
I don’t even know where to begin.

Next subject PLEASE! I won’t even count this going toward my being first tally. YUK!
Call me insensitive but this is SICK.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Except the gay, adulterous sex with a subordinate and the subsequent family-abandoning.
Other than that, though, there’s nothing wrong with it.
Will the movie version make it on cable or the bigscreen first? I am betting one of the alphabet channels.
Ah, geez, I guess I didn’t want lunch today anyways.
eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww gross
talk about too much info
Poll question is up.
# 6 AGREED!! Damn, there goes lunch!
Now, exactly how does one go about declaring a fatwa?
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY,
DON’T EVER, EVER, EVER EVER EVER POST THAT KIND OF CRAP ON THIS SIGHT AGAIN!!!!!
///end of rampage////
I combined this with Matt’s pirate speak post and got this:
“But I tookst Golan by th’ hand an’ led th’ lad’s upstairs t’ me bunk. He kissed me. ‘t be th’ first time in me life that a kiss meant what ‘t be supposed t’ mean—’t sent me through th’ roof. I pulled th’ lad’s t’ th’ bunk an’ we made love like I’d always dreamed: a boastful, passionate, whisperin’, masculine kind o’ love.”
Yarrrrr, looks to be he had his timbers shivered.
AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Arrgh, Jeremy, ye be makin’ snort grog out me nose!
John Wayne is rolling in his grave.
Two guys is about as bad as two girls.
Definitely Blonde Says:
eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww gross.
True…
At that point, McGreevy probably said “Thank god, I’m a Democrat with a liberal philosophy in life”. Realizing if Bill can cheat on his wife and get away with it, then why can’t he come “out of the closet”, cheat on his wife with a subordinate and express himself. After all being a liberal made him open minded and free to express himself without worrying about himself or the consequences of his action. Thank goodness, I can “read between the lines” in interpreting what it meant to him to be liberated when he wrote this “tell all” book. I mean you got to get the story out and “cash in” on it.
What a bunch of hogwash!!! This guy cheated, got caught and wants to capitalize on it—period!!!!
I was just curious. Why did you share that with us?
Henley is curious?
Golan? That sounds like a pirate name. SOOOOO in honor of ‘Talk Like a Pirate’ Day, ye bilge rats, McGreevy just wanted to get a little Cap’n in him.
/Let’s see who gets it.
Squawk….Does that make Golan a “butt” pirate??
Could be that McGreezey is “butt” pirate. Depends on who’s pitching and who’s catching….I guess.
That pretty well says it.
hefitz
McGreezey just wanted a little pirate’s booty.
Sounds like a made for TV movie……. Sick
I thought about trying the gay lifestyle, but I realized it would be a big pain in the a$$.
#17 Yes I was curious. Why you felt compelled to post that story. I wasn’t trying to be a wise guy, like you. But I believe that most, if not all, that post here are straight. And really don’t want to discuss such sick behavior. That’s all.
#21
Yarrr, he be lookin’ in all the wrong places, he be. This here would be better booty:

Lighten up, Henley. It’s good for a laugh.
#24 Henley
Jeremy’s link in #25 is precisely why I posted on this topic. This is called having fun.
So far today we also have posts relating to talking like a Pirate, Houston’s crime problem, judicial overreach, Gitmo, abortion, and a new media outlet in Dallas.
Different strokes for different folks.
Benzion said “strokes”.
Jeremy
#25
Thanks I needed that, but I am concerned that she has not been riding side saddle on the yardarm.
McGreevy
I’m sorry for his family.
Henley
Be glad that yours truly resisted adding a photoshop of McGreevy to the story.
Wait a minute, “James McGreevy” that sounds like a pirate’s name. Therefore the story is most apropos for this day.
But apparently in New York, having sex with another man does not make you gay:

Giggle aside, that’s part of what struck me about this story.. the guy’s wife is in the hospital, bed-ridden trying to bring his child into the world and he’s off hoisting his sail.
D.B. (not directed at definitely blonde)
“I don’t even know where to begin.”
How about, “Do you know when to end it?”
You could with just a “several strokes” :-0
Kinda goes with this story, in a sense: Worst Christmas Presents
DAMN! and I thought I got flamed the other day!
David, let’s face it, this subject is pretty neauseating for just about everyone…
what bothers me the worst about this is that you bought the book and read it….
Squawk is right, there’s something wrong with that boy….
This calls for comedian Stephen Lynch:

BTW, Golan has claimed on Drudge that this was not concentual.
His wife should have worn a pair of these:

the next time she saw him.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Some things are best left unsaid.
His wife should bitch slap him, a BUNCH
Maybe this one is more appropriate: NFL for McGreevy
# 18
Was that Captain Crunch? LOL.
McGreevy’s vision of the NFL
Funny how many folks have read the story. It is funnier yet that after a quick perusal of the blogosphere this story (not necessarily LSTs) seems to be pretty popular and generated much debate.
This story is no more nauseating than Abu Grabbit, the beheading of Nick Berg, or panda sex just too name a few.
Further more McGreevy is public figure who has chosen to tell his story, as sordid as it may be, so why shouldn’t we or any other news agency pick up on it? BTW This story is “old news” in that I recall reading about McGreevys exploits at interstate rest stops and porn kiosks a few months back.
Coming out is one thing but telling the gory details is another.
Squawk, David, when I said “everyone” I was basing it on the posts here…. Your Milage may vary….
I understand that he is a public figure, but geez, I really don’t want to think about two guys going all brokeback on each other. I’m fighting to keep from throwing up in my mouth here.
If someone is really secure in their sexuality, then stuff like this should be no problem to
deal with. In pyschological circles they say
that if something like this bothers you, then
you may have hidden tendencies unexpressed.
That’s just gross. I need some eye bleach.
I could handle being gay - someone to shop with, someone who understands why you rate movies a 2 boxer or a 3 boxer (steel magnolias was a 3 boxer)
Yea - I could go for being gay - except for the sex, we’d have to skip that part.
eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Hey, wasn’t the mailman on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood named McGreevy?
I remember back in the ’80s Penthouse Forum would throw in a letter every once in a while like this excerpt. Always caught me off guard. I usually figured it out when I got to the part, “Imagine my surprise when he …” Never could figure out why they put that crap in a Men’s magazine.

ROFLMAO
I agree.
sob
#46
AGAIN LMAO!
This is just sick Jerry Springer wanna-be crap: voyeuristic shlock for pathetic losers that want to expose their tragedies for some others pathetic imbecile’s entertainment.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am sick of all the homo propaganda: this guy wants to be exalted because he humiliated himself and his family; I’m sure they’re sooo proud.
Only the purveyors-of-misery that comprise the bulk of the Lame Stream Media would think this is a ‘news’ story……..give me a flipping break already!!

I agree with you! It is sad what makes the news on the DLWM! But they don’t see any problem with something like this — they are soooooo progressive!
Was he listening to Helen Redy singing “I am Woman…I am Invincible” while he and his butt buddy were…. yukkkkkk “bumping uglies”. That is one fine work of literature. Got to run out to Barnes & Noble and buy copies for me, my brother and my old man.
I’ve noticed the chat getting pretty lame lately,but, this is just plain sicko. Tis’ better not to hit the send button and be thought a fool than hit and it and prove it to the world.
first it was “broke back mountain”
…then its “broken mountain” (that character with transplant)
…now it “royal mounted politicians”
…what a country
Imagine your the ‘other’ guy in this tell all book and interview… and from your side… it didn’t happen..

Whatever!
“Gay-American”?! WTF is that?
Does that mean soon I will be able to check “Hetero-American” on a survey?
