Gay American Jim McGreevey spent his labor day weekend birthing “A Prayer for Larry Craig”. The former New Jersey governor turned theologian writes in the Washington Post:
…Like Sen. Craig, I resigned for the perceived good of my family, state and political party. And in so doing, I at long last accepted a fundamental truth, namely, that I am a gay American. In my soul, I found peace. In my heart, I found love. In my psyche, I disassembled the twisted separate strands of my life to create a healthy integrated person. And with my God, I found purpose.
I can only pray that Larry Craig and his loving family come to peace with his truth, whatever that may be. To those who judge him harshly, I ask that they fill their hearts with compassion and equanimity. The senator did not have a lover on the payroll, as I did; nor did he engage in sexual relations for money or use his office for unethical professional or personal gain.
McGreevey also offers some memories of his own toilet queenery, but we decided it’s too early for such horrific mental images.

What a schmuck.
I think God would appreciate being left out of McGreevey’s “purpose.”

As a born and raised Jersey boy, I wish McG would shut up and move to another state or country. I am really tired of his upper middle class white male privilege… Dude we dont CARE what you think. You fucked up running the state of NJ because of all the political log rolling and your fear of people outing you. YES we in NJ knew he was a closet case WELL before he got elected.
