Monkey in the middle.

I'll bet nobody involved in former New Jersey governor James McGreevey's divorce is much enjoying themselves right about now.

A former aide to James E. McGreevey said today that he had three-way sexual trysts with the former governor and his wife before he took office, challenging Dina Matos McGreevey's assertion that she was naive about her husband's sexual exploits. The aide, Theodore Pedersen, said he 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.

Somehow, the saddest detail of that is that they began their swinging soirees at T.G.I. Friday's. I guess Red Lobster's just too crowded or something. And there's this:

Pedersen did not say if he was gay or bisexual and only described having contact with Matos McGreevey during the trysts. He also said he never knew for sure if McGreevey was gay.

"I had heard the rumors in circles outside of work," he said. "In hindsight, there might have been light interest (in me), but it didn't seem like he was gay. It did enhance their sexual relationship having me be a part of it."

Um, okay. Now, what part of all this cracks me up the most is a pretty tight competition but I think I'm going to have to go with the picture nj.com decided to pair with the story.
