STATEWIDE — Sunday’s Star-Ledger published five pages of e-mails from 2007, some of them racy and others slamming certain politicians, between former Gov. Jon Corzine and his former lover, union rep Carla Katz. (Both are Hoboken residents.)
The paper editorializes, “We believe Gov. Jon Corzine was flatly dishonest with us on the whole Carla Katz issue. We also believe taxpayers should have the opportunity to draw their own conclusions after reading these 123 e-mails and assessing the entirety of their relationship. Page 22.”
Aha, they’re publishing them to help the taxpayers! (Especially those of us who are very nosy…) In fairness, the taxpayers apparently were impacted by various aspects of the relationship, including, according to the article, the $127,000 state lawyers spent to defend Corzine when the state investigated aspects of it.
Published excerpts include this e-mail from Katz to Corzine: “I had an over the top erotic dream about you last night. Bad boy!!”
And this, from Katz to Corzine: “The Ledger and AP both reduced our relationship from 3.5 years to less than 6 months (I accume that’s your staff’s handiwork)…at this rate, soon we’ll never even have met.”
And this one: “Good luck with Codey this morning. I fully support his public hanging ;). I’m around tonight late (not that you’re talking to me or anything.)”
Corzine apparently proves less adept at texting (or sexting), with some misspellings and lacks of space between words. He refers to one Republican as “Not a jerk. Acrooked scum bagAm talk to you tomorrow.”
