her karma ran over his dogma

via the huffpo, we find that richard mellon scaife, the billionaire fundie nut case that sprung for the sex investigation which eventually lead to bill clinton's impeachment, is having terrible marital problems of his own. nydailynews:

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, who was married to the 58-year-old mrs. scaife for 14 years before they separated in december.
good luck, mrs. scaife! we mean it!

how ironic that the man who poured dollars into exposing the sex life of a president (whose popularity rating was 73% after the house approved the articles of impeachment...way more than some people we can name) is himself suffering problems with the fairer sex.

heh! payback's a bitch!
