So earlier today, came the inevitable chat was McGreevey - on the TODAY Show [TODAY Show VIDEO]:

Well, I think it's a very human ... I'm filled with a sense of pain and anguish him and for for his family ... but I think it was a very human moment, and it was very truthful, sort of to come back the long process of healing and the long process of redemption. I think first you have to be truthful with one's self, with one's family, and with reality as it is and not like how we would like it to be.

McGreevey also encouraged him to admit his nature and understand the wrongs. He discussed  the power of forgiveness, which he says he interprets through his own Christianity. McGreevey appeared to breeze past the possibility that Sanford will be forced to step down as Governor, particularly if it's discovered he used state funds for his little trips to Argentina. It was, frankly, measured, and kind.

Gee, with Sanford now a sad national joke, and McGreevey weighing in for understanding on behalf of Christie's idol Mark Sanford, I think Christie's going to have to find a new stump speech. Beating up on Corzine by tying him to McGreevey just ran out of gas.
