McGreevey headlines

Jim McGreevey is going to seminary to become a priest.
That's the kind of story a paper like The Trentonian lives for.
And a lot of thought and fun goes into coming up with a headline for a story like that, more so when it's going to be the front page, which it was yesterday until some local fishermen pulled a human head out of a local body of water.
The brainstorming process for front page headline writing can come up with some good, some bad, and some that don't look quite so appropriate after sleeping on it.
Here are some of the McGreevey headlines we considered last night:
- LOVING HIS FELLOW MAN
- ALTAR BOY
- JUDAS PRIEST
- JESUS FREAK
- McGREEVEY ENTERS SEE-MEN-ARY
- HELL, NO!
- HEAVEN CAN WAIT
- REV. STRANGELOVE
- GAY GOV'S AFTER-WIFE

Good thing you didn't go with McGreevey. All those headline suggestions were putrid. Not a clever one in the bunch.

Iris Dement said it best in an old country music song: "Jesus may forgive you, but I Don't. You say that you're born again, well, so am I!"
