Richard Mellon Scaife, billionaire bankroller of conservative crusades, spent heavily to expose Bill Clinton’s “Troopergate” misbehavior. Now Scaife’s divorce from his second wife, Ritchie, is providing another unsavory saga—adultery! addiction! assault! dognapping!?!—as both parties let loose
Hahahahaaaaa… definitely the best schadenfreude moment o’ the year.
In December of 2005, the private detective proved Ritchie’s fears to have been well founded: he took pictures showing the reclusive 75-year-old billionaire with a woman named Tammy Vasco, a tall, blonde 43-year-old whose criminal history includes two arrests for prostitution. The pair was photographed at Doug’s Motel, a roadside establishment near Pittsburgh, where rooms rent for $49 a night, or $31 for three hours.
Chris Dodd is going to filibuster the pro-authoritarian “fixed” FISA bill tomorrow. The site has links to how you can offer your support (things he can read, how to contact your congresscritters). AFAIK only Kennedy and Feingold have his back so far. Encourage your senator to help out.
Thank you for standing up for the Bill of Rights, Chris.
The Rev. Jerry Falwell has died, a Liberty University executive said Tuesday. He was 73.
Earlier, the executive said Falwell was hospitalized in “gravely serious” condition after being found unconscious in his office.
Toodles, fucker. It may have happened 73 years too late, but at least it finally happened. He was a monster. A vile, evil, ignorant little turd of a “man.” The world is better off without him.
In the biggest news story of the year so far out of Washington, I Lewis “Scooter” Libby, a former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, has just been convicted by a jury for lying about his role in the public outing of a covert CIA officer whose husband, a former diplomat, had strongly challenged the Bush administration’s case for going to war against Iraq.
Now, given the testimony and what we know, it is obviously time to impeach Cheney. Granted, he and Bush should have been impeached long ago, but we have even stronger evidence of his felonious activities now.
Impeach Cheney before that blood clot finally kills the evil bastard.
Washington State is one of several states racing to see which will be first to send the U.S. House of Representatives a petition to impeach Bush and Cheney.
State Senator Eric Oemig, on February 14, 2007, introduced a resolution (PDF) calling on the Washington State Legislature to petition the U.S. House. Please thank him: oemig.eric@leg.wa.gov
Read all the way to the end of the thread. The Attrition guys get Shriber but good.
I’d make a larger point about the GOP, cheating, and their belief that money and no morals can get you anything your abilities and effort couldn’t… but after the last 6 years, do you really need another object lesson?
UN-hating UN ambassador slash incompetent nincompoop slash singlehanded destroyer of the North Korean negotiations slash ridiculous moustache affectation wearing buffoon slash administration official who grants exclusive interviews to D-list insane groupie bloggers John Bolton resigns.
