Support buoys Codey's wife

By Kaitlin Gurney

Inquirer Trenton Bureau

TRENTON - The shock jock may have called Mary Jo Codey a bad mother and questioned her sanity, but he helped her cause.

In the 2 1/2 weeks since Craig Carton of New Jersey 101.5 (WKXW-FM) mocked Codey and other women who have had postpartum depression - saying they "must be crazy in the first place" - she has received hundreds of phone calls and letters of support from across the country.

And so Codey, who has used her husband's unexpected ascension to the governor's office to speak out about her dark days after her first child was born, has found herself almost grateful for Carton's rant.

Edit: Mary Jo's incredible story is told in detail in this article.

1. Gov. Codey and his wife are full of grace

NJ 101.5 hosts are Bush apologists and they are a waste of airspace.

He's not running to allow for Corzine to run.

2. How do we get them kicked off the air?

Both Craig Carton and Ray Rossi. I'm sick of their crap. Free speech is one thing, insulting/making fun of a person's afflictions are another. And how many other women who have/had postpartum depression are there in the state? A lot. Who wants to start a petition?

3. They don't need more attention than they're already getting.
