Did Dina and Jim McGreevey Have Threesomes With A Male Aide?

Before Eliot Spitzer's career crashed in spectacular fashion, there was Jim McGreevey, governor of neighboring New Jersey, who resigned from office after declaring, "My truth is that I am a gay American," and failing to declare that the real scandal was putting his lover on the state's payroll.

McGreevey's post-political life has been picturesque. He moved into a Plainfield, NJ mansion with his new partner, Australian financier Mark O'Donnell. He is now teaching "ethics, law, and leadership" at Kean University (two out of three ain't bad), and has plans to become an Episcopalian priest. The only obstacle to a completely idyllic existence for McGreevey is his ongoing, acrimonious divorce and child custody proceedings with his future ex-wife Dina Matos McGreevey, who has consistently portrayed herself as an unwitting dupe, conned by an ambitious and unethical aspiring pol into serving as his beard.

Now the McGreeveys' hometown rag, the Star-Ledger, is reporting that Matos McGreevey was far from innocent about the nature of her marriage. According to the paper's source, former McGreevey aide Theodore Pedersen, "he had three-way sexual trysts with the former governor and his wife before he took office":

[H]e and the couple even had a nickname for the weekly romps, from 1999 to 2001, that typically began with dinner at T.G.I. Friday's and ended with a threesome at McGreevey's condo in Woodbridge.

They called them "Friday Night Specials," according to Pedersen.
