It says k. related to what was being offered as an explanation for some really BAD behavior.

People were not being hypercritical. We were being critical of a man who is undeserving of praise. Just because he is gay doesn't mean he should get a free pass for being a corrupt politician or a user. If anything, it's a breath of fresh air that we are able to look at a person and judge him purely on his actions and ethics. <BR/><BR/>James McGreevey married his wife for purely cynical reasons: he knew he was gay but wanted higher office. He then cheated on his wife on the same day she gave birth to his child. There's no excuse for that. Nor is there an excuse for putting his lover on the public payroll. <BR/><BR/>McGreevey is a human being and does deserve empathy, respect, and forgiveness. However, he does not deserve any praise or any kind of celebrity status for being "an out Gay American." He's just another cynical politician, no different than any other scumbag who twists words and truth to achieve his goals. He's just like Karl Rove, willing to tell whatever lie to get what he wants.<BR/><BR/>Today, McGreevey is trying to make profit off the misery he caused his wife, the plundering of the state coffers, and his sexuality. Why can't he just be like any other crook and slink away.<BR/><BR/>There are real GLBT people who deserve recognition for their good works. Some do find themselves in heterosexual relationships. James McGreevey is not one of them. He's a crook.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
