No sympathy for McGreevey

I made a point of catching Gov. McGreevey on Oprah yesterday. The question that kept coming to mind while I was watching was how could he do this to his wife, his ex-wife and his two young daughters?

How could he humiliate them by going public with the sordid details of his perverted sex life? How could Dina Matos McGreevey ever forgive him for marrying her when he knew he was gay or for having sex with his gay lover while she was in a hospital bed after having given birth to a baby daughter? How could McGreevey compound his sins by exposing them to the world?

McGreevey said his mother and father, his ex-wife and his 13-year-old daughter have been fully accepting of his decision to go public with his story. Dina, he says, "is still in transition."
Let's see how accepting his daughters are years down the road, when they are better able to understand what a complete lowlife he was.

Note to high school freshman: Asking "How could McGreevey do these things?" is a perfect example of a "rhetorical question."

What is a Rhetorical Question?
