God forbid New Jersey should cede any sleaziness to neighboring New York. That story about threesomes with former governor Jim McGreevey and his wife? All true, says McGreevey (who, it should be noted, is in an ugly custody battle with his ex-wife).

In a case of he said, she said, he said, denials flew back and forth Monday over reports that disgraced ex-New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey had threesomes with his wife and a male aide.

In an e-mail sent to the Daily News, McGreevey confirmed statements made by former campaign aide Teddy Pedersen.

The 29-year-old hunk said he had frequent sexual liaisons with McGreevey and his wife, Dina Matos McGreevey, for about two years before the "I am a gay American" governor took office.

"This happened, this happened in the past, and now we need to move on with our lives," McGreevey said.

More on this story as it... sigh. I guess we'll give you more on this story as it develops, but, Jesus, is this really what we're all doing with our lives?
