GOSSIP/HYPOCRISY: Richard Mellon Scaife

[MADem]

Wow, this is the bastard who went after CLINTON with a BRUTAL vengeance!!! Looks like all is less than peachy in HIS marital relations:

...Police responded to a call last week when Scaife's estranged and apparently enraged second wife, Margaret (Ritchie) Scaife, arrived at his estate in Pittsburgh. She allegedly assaulted his housekeeper, his security chief and his cancer-ridden secretary while a cook fended off her violent attempt to take the family dog.

"He's in a trauma. He was almost choked to death when she was grasping the leash," the 73-year-old Scaife, who almost never gives interviews, complained to Lowdown's Nicole Pesce yesterday. "She claims that the dog belonged to her because the dog is in her name on the registration papers. But she gave the dog to me nine years ago. So he's my dog."

But the pooch, a golden Lab named Beauregard, seems the least of Scaife's troubles. At stake in what is shaping up as one of the nastiest divorces in American history is a fortune estimated at $1.2 billion.

"There's no prenup — so wish me luck!" said Scaife...Ritchie Scaife's lawyer, Bill Pietragallo, told Lowdown, "You can't speak to her," but added that his client was in the right, and faced daunting odds. "Four against one in this tussle over a dog," he said. "I suggest you not be a foil for their side of this."

The fucker also scolds us not to gloat--but I'm not ABOUT to listen to his sorry ass, so I think I will do a bit o'gloating!!! I hope that woman cleans him out like ten enemas and a bad case of food poisoning!!!

Don't MESS with this lady!

According to police and witness reports, Mrs. Scaife pulled Mrs. Patterson's hair and punched her in the head. Mrs. Patterson called out for help and Dennis Bradshaw, the security guard, went to go pull Mrs. Scaife off of Mrs. Patterson. Police said Mrs. Scaife slapped Mr. Bradshaw's glasses off of his face and broke them.

At that point in the scuffle, Mrs. Patterson lost control of the dog and Mrs. Scaife chased after him. Mrs Scaife was in the front yard of Mr. Scaife's residence trying to grab the dog when Genevieve Still, Mr. Scaife's 77-year-old secretary, spotted the loose dog and attempted to get hold of him.

Police said that Mrs. Scaife pushed Mrs. Still to the ground and then kicked her in the hip. Witnesses to the fracas interceded by trying to calm Mrs. Scaife. All of the victims suffered minor injuries and did not immediately seek medical treatment, police said. After police left, all of the victims went to nearby Shadyside Hospital.

Mrs. Scaife was not arrested. She gave a Downtown address to police as her residence. Police said charges would have to be filed by the victims at the local magistrate's office...

10. I Wonder How Much The Staff Had To Be Paid

for mum to be the word?

11. Well, I think the juicy details CAME from them, and probably, they got

a bonus for embellishing how mean the Missus was when collecting her dog!!!

2. Dick Head er. Richard Mellon is going to loose more than the dog..

without a prenup. Good for us. Less money available to spew hatred.

4. What goes around, comes around!!!!

5. Is he a born-again culture-of-life family values type man?

Or are those values only applied to those making 200,000.00 a year and less?

[MADem]

6. He's the personification of corruption, the cretin

Gee, guess that stick figure Coulter won't be able to depend on him to finance her latest bird cage liner...what with all of his legal difficulties.

No prenup?? What a hubris-laden FOOL--and I'm delighted about it!

That soon-to-be-ex needs to start writing her book! If she makes a killing with this deee-vorce, she can give the proceeds to a worthy charity, and write it off. If she spills enough beauteous beans, that thing could be a bestseller!

7. Worse....

...he's a scumbag who did nothing except win the lucky sperm lottery. Now, like all rich assholes who never got their hands dirty, he feels he has a divine right to bludgeon whomever he feels like with his bankroll.
