Remember Golan Cipel? No? Well, let's refresh your memory: Cipel's the Israeli national formerly employed by the State of New Jersey under Jim McGreevey's velvet-gloved rule. You know, Jim McGreevey: the former Governor who left office after coming out as a cocksucker and allegations that he had misused his power for hiring the aforementioned Cipel, with whom McGreevey claimed to be having an affair.

Well, over a year after this story first grabbed headlines - not to mention months after McGreevey released his "astonishing" bestseller - Cipel's back in America. And, like any good scandal player, he's sat down for a little televised heart-to-heart. No, not with Oprah...with Jim Rosenfeld of CBS, who's sort of like Oprah. Only not.

Why so late in the newsworthy game? We don't know. Maybe it has something to do with reading Hebrew backwards. Or, more likely, it's some sort of November Sweeps rating grab. Regardless, Cipel's rehashing the same old story: he did not, nor did he ever consider, having an affair with McGreevey.

Recalling the infamous moment when McGreevey asked him to his bedroom, Cipel says:

(sigh) I feel like this is the spot where my life ended, the way I planned it to be, the way I believed it to be and it's never going to be the same. (sigh) When you plan a life, everybody has dreams. You think you know, most people are good and you don't think bad things can happen to you.

And (sigh) now I've got to go on national television to (sigh) tell my tale and (sigh) make a bundle of dough and (sigh) it's all just so humiliating! Too bad I never got that $50 million I allegedly asked for to allegedly cover the whole thing up...allegedly (Sigh)

The first part of the interview aired last night. It's apparently quite a doozy, because part two airs tomorrow. Mark your calendars. Or, you know, don't...

(By the way, is it us or does Jim McGreevey look like he's seconds from devouring Cipel in this picture?)
