I'm just impressed with a politician who can face up to his mistakes. Maybe integrity was the wrong word. The guy has some balls, though.

Would you be that impressed if it turns out that he was forced into this situation after allowing himself to be blackmailed? This story at least suggests that his accuser wanted an "exorbitant sum" of hush money to make the issue go away.
The thing that disturbs me about the story is that he apparently appointed an unqualified foreign national to be in charge of New Jersey's homeland security program. That is inexcusable.
