Common ground?

Scaife was in WaPo last year regarding his divorce from wife #2.

The culture of his own marriage is apparently past restoring. With the legal fight still in the weigh-in phase, the story of Scaife v. Scaife already includes a dog-snatching, an assault, a night in jail and that divorce court perennial, allegations of adultery.

Oh, and there's the money. Three words, people.

No. Pre. Nup.

What makes this photo fascinating is that Scaife has/had a reputation for dealing mercilessly with people:

In his own small world in Pittsburgh, Scaife is known as a man who wants to be in control, who wants employees who say "yes," who is capable of bearing grudges for years. Once, it is said by knowledgeable sources, he compelled the Mellon Bank to fire a newly hired attorney in the bank's legal department because the lawyer was the son of a former employee Scaife had turned against.

Scaife has broken off relations with numerous friends and associates, waged a bitter, prolonged divorce battle with his first wife, has strained relations with his son and no relations with his daughter. He and his sister haven't spoken for 25 years.

I agree: I would love to have known what this was all about.

Funny thing, though

Here's Scaife, Tammy Vasco's client, still in the newspapers, still with his billions, and not hounded from public life at all.

Unlike Eliott Spitzer.

Odd, that. Or not.

Standard-issue interview

I agree: I would love to have known what this was all about.

She was interviewing with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review for their endorsement. I've seen some grumbling that she shouldn't have been doing that because of what he did, but what is she supposed to do? She's running for President, she's campaigning in Pennsylvania, and she can't simply refuse to seek the endorsement of one of the two major papers in one of the two major cities in the state just because she hates the publisher's guts.

Zuzu is right

The ends justify the means.

Wait, I think I've heard that before. I'll bet Obama came up with it.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
