Anti-gay, Anti-Clinton 'Family Values' Billionaire Revealed as a Fraud: Scaife's Estranged Wife Nets $725,000 Per Month, Claims Newspaper Is A 'Hobby'

The Anti-gay, Anti-Clinton 'Family Values' Billionaire Richard Scaife is a fraud: he spent millions on "investigating" Bill Clinton and has helped bankroll some the the conservatives who want to split apart the Episcopal Church but now he is involved in a nasty divorce - his current wife claims adultery as grounds - this from the guy who tried to ruin Bill Clinton for having oral sex with Monica. Is it unchristian to hope that the current Mrs. Scafie cleans him out? So far, so good: Scaife's Estranged Wife Nets $725,000 Per Month, Claims Newspaper Is A 'Hobby'

Scaife's Wife Gets Giant Settlement After Messy Divorce -- Claims Newspaper is 'Hobby'
Published: September 16, 2007 8:00 PM ET

PITTSBURGH The estranged wife of billionaire and newspaper owner Richard Mellon Scaife, the Pittsburgh banking heir turned media mogul, was awarded $725,000 a month in temporary support during their acrimonious divorce, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Sunday.

Scaife, 75, and his second wife, Margaret Ritchie Battle Scaife, are battling on several fronts, from how to assess and divide his wealth to custody of a yellow Labrador retriever named Beauregard, the newspaper said.

<snip>

The reclusive Scaife is known as a staunch political conservative who spent millions funding a series of investigations into President Clinton.

Margaret Scaife, 60, kept a separate residence in Pittsburgh after the couple married in June 1991 and has been arrested twice since their split over domestic confrontations at his nearby mansion, the Post-Gazette reported. The trespass and assault charges were later dismissed.

She filed for divorce last year alleging infidelity, while he filed divorce papers this year, the Post-Gazette said. They do not have a prenuptial agreement, the newspaper said. He has two children from his first marriage to the former Frances Gilmore.

2. Kicked and recommended.
Another hypocrite hits the dust. There should be a blog dedicated to outing Republican hypocrites. That would keep hordes of bloggers writing full-time.

Greed destroys marriages and families.

3. I have some "friends" in New Orleans
who had their panties in a wad because a whore actually had bad things to say about their family values good upstanding christian david vitter. They thought it was so wrong that the local paper published her "crap." I told them yesterday don't worry there will be another story real soon about another good christian and his display of "values" that will shock you as well and knock vitter off the front page. And I added and not too long after that another "christian" will make you forget about the next one your read about. I'm fucking clairvoyant.

6. Ah, they don't care about Scaife's private life
As long as his wallet is in the right place, and the money spigot is pegged "on." It's very revealing, however, to know that he's the money push behind the growing Episcopal schism. If the money for that dries up, I wonder if all those congregations affiliating with African conservatives will suddenly come shambling back like the young man in Luke 15.
