The N.J. Senators who approved her nomination had to know she was bad news when they approved her nomination. Glad to see the back of her. |

It's ridiculous that Corzine could make such a selection after watching McGreevey consistently choose the wrong AG, State Police chief and other key Cabinet members. She was a McGreevey reject and he still appointed her.
It's no secret that Corzine favors diversity among his Cabinet, which is good. But stop choosing candidates based soley on their political juice and do the hard work of identifying qualified people who may be off the party radar.
Prosecutor Paula Dow is a perfect example of an outstanding professional who was not a political darling, yet has excelled because of her own skill and acumen. Maybe she should be the next AG... |

Most importantly, in her statement of resignation, she referred to us as "New Jerseyans," not "New Jerseyites."

On the other hand, she has resigned (was fired) because she screwed up.
When was the last time the current administration in the White House fired somebody for screwing up?
Ok, I'll give you Mike Brown at FEMA, but it took the White House quite a while to go from "heck of a job, brownie" to letting him go. |

That's because she's an American citizen who isn't his male gay lover.  |

So in other words, according to Strawberry, everyone that former Governor McGreevey appointed to a post in his administration was not an American citizen and gay. And he thinks that is funny. The guy made more than one appointment, so again according to berry boy, McGreevey's administration was filled with his gay lovers. |

Strawberry aside, that one appointment was possibly the most egregiously bad one in recent history. And McGreevey made others that shocked the senses as well, i.e. then-Newark Police Director Santiago as State Police Chief when his background check would have denied him entry as a cadet. Yet, he refrained from appointing Zulima Farber to the bench and made the reasons why a matter of public record.
Jon Corzine's decision to appoint her AG in spite of that record was ill-advised and he now has to carry that error as well as find a replacement under intense public scrutiny. This was an avoidable mistake. |

His administration wasn't the only thing filled with his gay lovers.
Rest stops and McGreevey, perfect together. |

She got shoved down Corzine's throat by Menedez . Even a smart guy like Corzine is finding out how corrupt to the core this state really is. NJ & your money perfect together. What is really shocking about this situation is that she truly does not believe she did anything wrong to the point were she is quoted as saying that " The ethical bar in NJ is set to high". BTW the boyfriend lost his cushy post for $81k in Irvington. |

I agree with you! In her eyes she did nothing wrong. I'm not as concerned she intimated the other officers, as I am they have been punished by loosing two weeks pay. I'm even more concerned supposedly there were 'confidential papers' in the car.
Are you sure about her boyfriend loosing his job? If so, good, he should have lost it. Hopefully both of them will be banned from any public service type jobs in the future and any job that puts them on the pay roll of taxpayers. |

Reading the berry's 8/17; 9:35 am and jet's 8/18 at 3:44 posts, I see a pornographic strain running amok.
Keep it up!!!

One could view McGreevey as blinded by love, and other strong feelings.
Farber, I don't get. One bench warrant could possibly be explained away ("My house is a mess," "The cleaning lady ate it," etc), but four? And the boyfriend has an expired license and an expired registration? An attitude that "these silly traffic laws don't apply to me" is not the mindset we want for the state's highest law enforcement officer.
Btw, remember one of the worst due diligence lapses of all time -- the Bernie Kerik nomination. |

Silly comparison. Kerik never had the job. He was actually tossed aside during "due dilligence". McGreevey on the other, hand appointed the gay lover-foreigner to the post and Corzine did the same with Farber..
Try to keep the focus. |

What? Farber was a "gay lover-foreigner"? This is certainly a disturbing new twist in this case. |

"Due diligence" is something you do before the announcement; it's not backing down after the press has unleased what everybody in NY law enforcement circles knew anyway. The White House obviously didn't check with the FBI before going ahead with the announcement. That's all in addition to his pathetic lack of credentials.
Straw, I'm having a deja vu here... Right now you're thinking of posting that Kerik was a hero and a patriot after 9/11. I think if somebody did a search they would find we've already done this dance.
Which brings up something I've been wondering about -- was Zulima Farber some kind of legal hotshot? I've read she was a partner at Lowenstein Sandler and argued NJ v. TLO before the SCt (NJ school locker search case). I guess that's kind of beside the point also -- who was that inexperienced guy who was Whitman's chief counsel or chief of staff who ended up on the NJ SCt? Was he the state A.G. during the state police racial profiling era? |
