Last time we highlighted a well-credentialed leftist who is sure we invaded Iraq to gain alien technology. Today's sad but amusing leftist is "a doctor and adjunct professor at Montclair State University" who thinks he has something to do with the McGreevy scandal...
In the New York Daily News:
The mystery man who claims to be Golan Cipel's ex-lover said yesterday that not only is the handsome Israeli gay - he's also still in love with Gov. Jim McGreevey.
"Golan says he's not gay? He could have fooled me," Dr. David Miller of Livingston, N.J., told the Daily News yesterday, as he claimed that he had a gay affair with the ex-McGreevey aide.
"We love each other. Is that a crime? We're lovers," said Miller, 51, an openly gay man and divorced father of two.
In a manic, disjointed interview, Miller said that Cipel had made a pillow-talk confession: He still carries a torch for McGreevey.
"Cipel never complained about the governor. They were in love," Miller said outside his home.
Miller also claimed to reporters that he is a CIA operative who takes pills doled out by the intelligence agency to make his skin darker so he can infiltrate unnamed groups.
Oooh, yeah. Now it gets good.
He offered no mementos, letters or photos as proof of his relationship with Cipel. ...
Ask me if I'm shocked. No. Thanks for asking.
Miller - who insisted on speaking Spanish because, he said, he hates the United States - told reporters he met Cipel in Israel through family friends and that he still had a soft spot for him.
Hates the US? Imagine that. Based on a well-reasoned opinion, I'm sure.
I can't imagine what kind of an impact this guy must have on his students. Not to mention his patients.
"Despite his problems, I'm going to go visit him," said Miller, shirtless and wearing purple shorts.
That's verging on a little too much information. Though I understand the reporter's need to unburden his traumatic experience by recounting it to the rest of us...
Miller's own story is reminiscent of McGreevey's coming-out tale. The doctor said he was a happily married man with two children, when, at age 38, he acknowledged he was gay.
"One hundred thousand dollars worth of therapy later and I still don't understand," Miller said.
Sigh. And again I feel pity for him. God, please help him.
