Sexy Time
The economy is going completely into the toilet and Wall Street is being bailed out by Bush while homeowners are left on their own, but who cares? We have more sex talk! Apparently, Jim McGreevey and his wife used to do the wild thing with another guy. Here’s the money line from that one: “We called it the Friday Night Special,” Pedersen said.
