If memory serves correctly -- he and Congressman Condit were "best buddies" and "partied" together...
Joe left politics about the same time as the Condit crap hit the fan......speculation on Joe's motivation to leave at that particular time was widespread..
A little "history" from the period, involving a dead female employee in Scarborough's district office...and various other "issues"......
"FORT WALTON BEACH, FLa. - Lori Klausutis, a 28-year-old office worker for Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-Fl), was found dead in the congressman's district office. Police said preliminary findings from the medical examiner's office showed no foul play or any outward indication of suicide."
Unbelievably, that was it. The story was simply dropped. A young female employee of one of Florida's Congressmen had died unexpectedly in the Congressman's office. There were no witnesses to her death and the cause of death was not apparent. Klausutis' boss, Joe Scarborough had recently resigned from Congress prematurely and unexpectedly, amid rumors about his marital fidelity and soon after a divorce. He had also abruptly resigned as publisher of the Independent Florida Sun, claiming that resigning from Congress and as publisher was necessary to spend more time with his sons.
Such circumstances make one pause. Sick to death of the clear bias of the corporate owned media, and suspicious of the odd nature of this death, we began to dig for answers. The more information we discovered, the more unlikely, and the more newsworthy the story became."

Thanks. I had heard that another congress type, a buddy of Condits, had problems of the "P.I." type-now I know who it is. Very interesting.
Thanks so much for this information. I wasn't aware of Scabbie's background. I now see a different side of him that explains a lot of the questions I've had about him.
That was a verrrry interesting post.
