Another of the increasingly numerous governors to resign because of extramarital sexual adventures is Jim McGreevey of New Jersey.
McGreevey, a Democrat, led his state from 2002 until in 2004, he came out as gay and admitted his affair with an Israeli man named Golan Cipel, whom the governor had hired as his state's director of homeland security, even though the man's credentials for such a post were minimal at best. Cipel denied being gay and said he had been sexually harassed by McGreevey.
When McGreevey made his dramatic resignation announcement, his wife stood by his side in one of those supremely uncomfortable moments of political life.
