Subject: McGreevey's resignation announcement



Dear Mr. Braun-



You're nailing McGreevey and he deserves it! I mean

this is about as bad as it gets in my book for this

type of wrong-doing.



Hiding behind the public's growing sympathy for

differences in sexual orientation rather than come

clean on the corruption in his sphere of influence is

comic tragedy ... is he serious? ... do we laugh, cry,

get mad? ... same famous sayings stay current even

with repetitive use: "What did he know and when did he

know it?" and "Have you no shame?"



My gawd, hubris is as crippling to one's character as

jealousy and greed. It is absolutely mind-boggling

that anyone in a high-profile public position would so

openly flout the public's sense of right and wrong

(and I mean the extreme act of OPEN favoritism to a

lover, not the fact that he had an extramarital affair

... it's the knowledge that McGreevey obviously

thought he could get away with it in such a blatant,

in your face, way). It means there has to be such a

deep level of cronyism and corruption that they think

they can get away with ANYTHING!



You're right on target with a superior writing talent.

Keep it up. I love your work!



Regards,
