In case you didn’t know what Jim McGreevey has been up to lately…
Two ex-Governors in Hoboken!
“Working on the weekend has taken on a new meaning for former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey.
Five years ago, the controversial politician came out in that famous “gay American” speech. Now, he’s training to do his future speaking from the pulpit.
The former governor appears well on his way to becoming the leader of his own Episcopal congregation. Members of Hoboken’s All Saints Episcopal Church, where McGreevey is training, say he is on a praise-worthy path.”

The transition from politics to religion must be the easiest career move one can make. You start in politics by learning how to lie convincingly to large groups of people; once you are ready to actually believe those lies, the higher calling awaits.

My brain cannot compute this extra weird news about McGreevey.
As for Corzine, no way he stays in town long. My guess is the tent will be folded by May or June.

Good luck to him. It’s odd, but if it is his calling, and if he can help and lead people, why not? Sometimes people find God only when they have hit bottom (no pun intended).
The more people that try to do “good,” the better.

“Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for their submission
And no one’s jamming their transmission
‘Cause when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you”
From “De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da” by The Police.

Written by the same guy who said ‘Obama was sent by god.”

I wonder what pulpit Cammarano will end up preaching from in a few years.

I don’t know about Corzine…sounds like he might pick up a cushy job at BOA. Not sure that will mean he’s out of Hoboken, but keeping my fingers crossed. Lousy bum.

You got a point. But, in all fairness, those 2 statements were almost 30 years apart. I’m sure most people in their late 50’s have different views than they had when they were in their late 20’s. Still, it’s a pretty stupid statement, no matter how much you like Obama.
(Side note: according to a 60 Minutes interview from a few years back, Sting still makes around $2,000 a day just for “Every Breath You Take”.)
