The Curse of The Gunnies, Again??

Regarding the resignation of New Jersey Governor James E. McGreevey, who as I recall, supported and signed that states Smart Gun Legislation, so-called, the following comes to mind.

Over the years, a number of other prominent anti-gunners have come to grief respecting the law, and their actions. In no particular order, the names of these public figures follow. Former Maryland Governor Schaeffer, Former New York Congressman Mario Biaggi, former Governor of Illinois and Federal Court Judge Otto Kerner, former Queens New York District Attorney Tom Mackel. There might well be others too, the above short listing are merely names I happen to remember, at the moment. In any event, each of these anti-gunners seemingly felt that the strictures of the law, somehow did not apply to them. In the end, they found out otherwise, ergo the Curse of The Gunnies, or was it The Gunnies Curse?

So far, Mr. McGreevey has been neither accused nor indicted, so far as I know, of violations of the law, though there do seem to be some questions posed. Mere questions do not indicate guilt, however with respect to the governors sudden resignation, one wonders as to whether or not The Curse of The Gunnies might still work.
 
Unfortunately our voodoo isn't strong enough to rid us of Schumer, Lautenberg, Feinstein, Boxer, Kennedy, Clinton, Corzine, Kerry, etc... :(
 
If he resigns sooner than November 16th there is a good possibility that NJ has a shot at putting a Republican in there.

There is hope in an almost hopeless State.

There is far more to the corruption in McGreasy's Government than some are aware. I personally think he's going to be done in a few weeks.

The short answer to why McGreevy is going down is this:

He had his boyfriend on a $110,000 salary AFTER he was fired for not having the qualifications to be in charge of New Jersey's Homeland Security office.

Serious. :mad:

I was wrong on Schaeffer, it was Mandell. see the following, a google search. Political Graveyard. I wonder as to what the grounds for reversal of conviction might have been. Ditto for the pardon, though I do not believe that the pardoning authority, the governor??, is required to explain.
