Summary

Reporters Jeff Whelan and Josh Margolin, as well as former New Jersey governor James "Jim" McGreevey, on this edition of Fresh Air. Reporters Jeff Whelan and Josh Margolin have been covering Jim McGreevey for the Newark Star-Ledger. The two journalists won the Pulitzer Prize in 2005 for breaking the McGreevey story. The two maintain that Governor McGreevey's "I am a gay American" speech in August 2004 was a brillant public relations move to take the spotlight off the fact that he appointed his alleged lover to the position of New Jersey's Homeland Security advisor, a position the man was unqualified for. Then, former New Jersey governor James "Jim" McGreevey. His new memoir, The Confession, details his life and events leading up to his August 2004 coming out speech. McGreevey was governor from January 2002 to November 2004, when he resigned. McGreevey also appointed his alleged Israeli lover Golan Cipel to the position of New Jersey's Homeland Security Advisor. Since the publication of The Confession, Cipel has stated that he was not McGreevey's lover, as detailed in McGreevey's book, but that he was sexually harrassed by the governor.
