From a reader:

All the news coverage seems to be missing the point re: New Jersey. It was a great speech. Likely calculated, he was a long shot to retain office. The outing was the nail in the coffin. His political capital is now sky rocketing. Well done, Jim. Worry about wife and kids later. Here is the point the Wonkette’s of world miss, but us locals(I’m a NY resident) ponder. Homeland Security Aide? Couple people round the tri state area died a few years back. This job was created with the idea that we’d make an effort to avoid a repeat going forward. He created and filled the role with his boy toy. Wonderful speech, citizens be damned. Kudos for Jim coming to terms with his sexuality, but he oughta be out of office this morning. If Condi was Bush’s incompetent, unqualified plaything, she and the president would be run out of town, if not up on charges. Don’t let this be about sex, that’s the spin, not the story.
