Dennis Roddy deserves kudos for the highly professional approach used in his report on the messy "Tabloid-style" divorce proceedings of billionaire publisher Richard Mellon Scaife. It seems the "sealed documents" were easily accessible on the Allegheny County government website. And Dennis found them (apparently) first.
This past Sunday's Post Gazette cover story is truly an amazing story of wealth, greed and petulance.
Scaife, heir to the Mellon and Scaife family fortunes, owns the P-G's rival newspaper, The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (it is part of a broader publishing company based in nearby Greensburg, PA). He was a major funding source for investigators behind l'affaire's Clinton/Whitewater and Monica Lewinski... in fact, many give "Richie Cougar Mellon-Scaife"* lots of credit for keeping the whole investigation alive when many had dismissed it as much ado about, well, you know... not much!
Scaife's millions got Clinton impeached... and now we are learning more about those millions, and how the man behind the VRWC** is being exposed for the truly scary person he is.
