Another GOPuke family values hypocrite revealed as a serial adulterer, consorter of prostitutes, and dog-napper. Won't somebody think of the children??
Even without knowing who the principals are, don't you just want to fucking haul off and punch them both in the face a few times after reading this? : "Defendant has and continues to unlawfully hold in his possession six pairs of silver asparagus tongs"!!
There are towns with better vistas, sure, and there are getaways with more sunshine. But only Pittsburgh is the scene of the fabulously tawdry and surpassingly vicious spectacle that is the divorce of Richard Mellon Scaife.
Remember him? The cantankerous, reclusive 75-year-old billionaire who's spent a sizable chunk of his inherited fortune bankrolling conservative causes and trying to kneecap Democrats? He's best known for funding efforts to smear then-President Bill Clinton, but more quietly he's given in excess of $300 million to right-leaning activists, watchdogs and think tanks. Atop his list of favorite donees: the family-values-focused Heritage Foundation, which has published papers with titles such as "Restoring a Culture of Marriage."
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.

Adultery is right. This guy doesn't mess around when he messes around:
The two had been openly dating for years while Richard was married to his first wife, the former Frances Gilmore, with whom he had two children, and Ritchie was married to an attorney named Westray Battle, with whom she had a son.
After his divorce and marriage to this Ritchie person, he was caught in yet another adulterous relationship with a woman, this one "previously arrested for prostitution."
"Restoring a culture of marriage." You gotta love it.

There is nothing more interesting than fighting, petty, divorcing rich people. He had his affair at a $45/night motel. (Cheap bastard!) Lady Sciafe is receiving $725,000 A MONTH in temporary alimony. They are fighting over Beauregard the yellow lab. I love this stuff.
