Ex-New Jersey Governey James ("My truth is that I am a gay American") McGreevey set to hawk book on Oprah Winfrey show: "The book traces his life through two failed marriages, his rise to the governor's office and the sudden, public implosion of his political career in 2004. McGreevey was accompanied to Chicago for the taping by his partner, Australian financial adviser Mark O'Donnell. The two share a home together.

The show will air September 19th, the day the book is released.

Conservatives say that in effect there are already two churches under the Episcopal roof. They want a special 'commissary' to be appointed to look after them who would be equal to the Presiding Bishop in America."
