Wingnut Financier's Woes, Cont'd

When we last tuned in on major wingnut financier Richard Mellon Scaife his private world was starting to implode. Well, today's WaPo article on this dirtbag's messy divorce is good for many laughs. Remember, this was the putz that paid millions to "reporters" from the American Spectator to dig up dirt on the Clintons (referred to as the "Arkansas Project"). It seems that he was involved with a former prostitute while married to his wife of 16 years. She's now suing for divorce, and the best part is Dickie didn't have a prenuptual agreement. So his $1.3 billion piggy bank for right wing causes is about to be diminished a bit. Bwahahahahahahah.

One memorable snip from the article:

"Dickie, as he's known to his handful of friends, acquired a mean streak at an early age, according to his now-deceased sister. . .His trouble with alcohol started when he was at prep school, and he later was tossed out of Yale when he rolled a keg of beer down a flight of stairs and broke the legs of a fellow student."

Deserves everything that's coming to him.

A Wingnut Financier's Woes


Wingnut billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife and his estranged wife Margaret are going through a messy divorce. Scaife, who finananced many of the "investigations" against the Clintons, including the notorious "Arkansas Project," owns several newspapers, including the right wing Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and American Spectator magazine. Now he has to shell out $725,000 per month to his wife during the divorce proceedings. Hopefully, a generous divorce settlement in her favor will put a damper on Scaife's nasty "investigations" in the future.
