Golan Cipel says that Jim McGreevey is not really gay. He says McGreevey is actually bisexual because he had sex with female prostitutes.

From an interview last night:

KING: Well, we’re back with Golan, who said an extraordinary thing to me during the break. He said he does not think James McGreevey is gay. What?

CIPEL: No. I don’t believe that. That’s part of the spin.

KING: Spin to be gay? Why?

CIPEL: I believe that Jim McGreevey is bisexual. But, Larry, can you imagine this dramatic press conference when James McGreevey’s coming out and saying that the truth is, I’m proud to be a bisexual American.

KING: And he’s got a gay lover now that he’s…?

CIPEL: … I don’t know about that. I do believe that he is attractive to men, but Jim McGreevey was attracted to men. I would never believe that story.

Even after what — even the second I knew his secret and what happened with me, he still spoke about heterosexual sex. He spoke about prostitutes. For example, you know, McGreevey, and he used to brag about it, said to me once that he after the visit to Auschwitz, the death camp in Auschwitz, brought prostitutes to the hotel. He and another aide had sex with prostitutes in the hotel.

He said the same thing about having sex with prostitutes in the Dominican Republic. Those were official visits. He had sex with prostitutes in New Jersey and denied it in certain points. And then in his book he said there was one prostitute, but he didn’t know what to do with her, so he sent her to a vacation. That’s a very poor excuse.

Something here is wrong. I mean, I think McGreevey had no choice. There was a sexual harassment lawsuit against him. He didn’t know what to do. And his adviser told him come out first. If you come out first, you will be perceived as the victim. You control of the story. That’s what he chose to do.

Let’s put aside the image of anyone having sex with a prostitute after visiting Auschwitz, because I don’t even want to go there. And let’s put aside Larry King’s use of the term “gay lover.” (What is this, 1982?)

First, if McGreevey were actually bisexual, how would it help him against a potential sexual harassment lawsuit to say he was gay instead? It doesn’t make sense.

Second, I seriously doubt that Jim McGreevey has partnered up with Mark O’Donnell and bought a house with him purely to further the fiction that he is gay instead of bi.

Third, none of this proves anything other than that McGreevey was in denial in the past. McGreevey has admitted as such. Plenty of gay men have had sex with women before. And even if he enjoyed it, plenty of gay men are not pure Kinsey sixes.

I don’t know what Cipel’s point is, other than to be bitter. Not that McGreevey is squeaky clean here, either.

McGreevey sure knew how to pick ’em back then, didn’t he?
