Neo-con hero and financier,
caught in a hotel room, w/ a hooker.
He was with a hooker.
So what? Every man who has had an extra $20 on a payday probably has been.
Maybe I`m the odd man out,b/c that`s not on my list of to-do`s.
The whole point, is the hypocrisy.
Especially this guy(Scaife).You`d have to be a political wonk(I am) or a republican, to know that Richard Mellon Scaife started,staffed,trained and payed the staffs,and operated the outfits,who`s only purpose was to scandalize Bill Clinton.
It was called the Arkansas Project.
He and his publication, thePittsburgh Tribune-Review,
brought us the begining of what`s called,"the politics of destruction",where someone is attacted personaly,as well as dirty dog tactics being used,like swiftboating, or suggesting that your opponent is a drug addict,womanizer,rapist.or worse.
Or claiming you murdered someone,like Scaife did with the Vince Foster tragedy,using his news paper.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In 2005, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review announced that operations of its suburban editions would be consolidated, with "staff reductions" in the newsrooms, business, and circulation departments. [9] Two managers were laid off immediately along with several other staff members later in 2005.
With Scaife as publisher, the small circulation newspaper was the chief packager of editorials and news columns claiming that then United States President Bill Clinton or his wife, then First Lady Hillary Clinton were responsible for the death of Deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster. Scaife paid freelancer Christopher W. Ruddy [10] to write about the Foster case for the Tribune-Review and other right-leaning media. He went on to found NewsMax Media. Calling the company's website "America's News Page," NewsMax.com[11] has grown to be one of the largest Internet news sites in the U.S., in which Scaife is an investor. Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr, appointed to investigate Clinton, concluded that Foster committed suicide.[12]
Like many political magazines of differing ideologies, in the 1980s and 1990s the conservative American Spectator received donations from like-minded benefactors who supported its mission. One of the Spectator's larger donors over the years was Richard Mellon Scaife, a businessman who directed a number of foundations funded with his family's wealth, through which he could support his causes. At first, donations from Scaife to the Spectator were unrestricted, but later, Scaife wanted to direct some of the spending for stories investigating the Clintons.

According to R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., editor in chief of the Spectator, the idea for investigating the Clintons was born on a fishing trip on the Chesapeake Bay in the fall of 1993. David Brock, who reported many of the Clinton scandals, described himself as a Republican "hitman" who "soon became a lead figure in the drive to" get Clinton. Writing for the American Spectator, he brought the stories of alleged sexual misbehavior by Bill and Hillary Clinton into the public notice in late 1993.[3] The Pacific Research Institute funded further attempts to discredit the Clintons. The "Arkansas Project" name that later became famous was conceived as a joke; the actual name within the Spectator and between the Spectator and Scaife foundations was the "Editorial Improvement Project."
The Washington Post noted David Brock was "summoned" to a meeting with Rex Armistead in Miami, Florida at an airport hotel. [citation needed] Armistead laid out an elaborate "Vince Foster murder scenario", Brock said – a scenario that he found implausible."[4][5] David Brock, then of the American Spectator (and previously of the Heritage Foundation), explained Armistead was paid $350,000 to work with Arkansas Project reporters by the American Spectator.[6] Brock further noted Armistead was a "leader of white resistance to the civil rights movement" as he was working as a police officer.[7] Both Brock and Armistead were reporters who were funded by Scaife to investigate issues ranging from drug smuggling to Foster to discredit Clinton with the Arkansas Project.[8]
