Shocker! Scaife endorses Hillary
'Right-wing conspiracy' leader now pushes Clinton for prez
WASHINGTON Richard Mellon Scaife, formerly No. 1 on Bill Clinton's enemies list as the so-called "marionette" of the "vast right-wing conspiracy," today formally endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton for president proving, once again, politics makes strange bedfellows.
Scaife, who personally funded many of the investigations of the Clinton administration that led to the president's impeachment, used his Pittsburgh Tribune-Review newspaper to express support for Clinton.
Clinton faces a do-or-die primary in Pennsylvania Tuesday. Most state newspapers have endorsed her opponent, Barack Obama.
The Tribune-Review cited Obama's lack of experience and his widely criticized comments about bitter voters living in small towns.
"In sharp contrast, Clinton is far more experienced in government as an engaged first lady to a governor and a president, as a second-term senator in her own right," the paper's editorial said. "She has a real voting record on key issues. Agree with her or not, you at least know where she stands instead of being forced to wonder."
As surprising as the endorsement might appear, it is not entirely unexpected. Last month, Clinton met with the Tribune-Review's editorial board and Scaife, who also is a principle owner of NewsMax.com. Following that meeting, Scaife penned a personal editorial titled "Hillary, Reassessed," declaring how impressed he had been by the former first lady.
"Her meeting and her remarks during it changed my mind about her," Scaife wrote.
Scaife's mind has been changing about the Clintons for some time, as WND previously reported.
There is little question that when then-first lady Hillary Clinton famously lashed out at foes as a "vast, right-wing conspiracy," Scaife was one of the people on her mind....

Good Grief, how can you say such a thing?
He's not scared of Obama, he's scared of what his wife could discover to clean his clock with in the divorce that Hillary's P.I.'s dug up about him. Besides, it's easier for the elite to stick together (Scaife, Heinz, Soros, etc.) than to argue over little things like who should be the next President when it doesn't matter a whit since all three of them are wholly owned subsidiaries of Soros et.al. and will take their marching orders from them no matter which of the three is elected.
Black humor, sir.
Not to mention a serious drinking problem and a plate in his head. LOL!

As expected.
“Before this election is over, Washington is going to burn. I predict that there will be political hits this year and if Obama is elected,
full scale violence.”
If Obama is elected, I will look forward to it.

[Scaife and his wife have been having a brutal divorce after she caught him cheating on her with a woman of questionable character.]
He probably is so frightened of Obama and McCain that he endorses Horrible Hillary who goes into manic fits.
That may be it. They’ve got armed security and so much money that they won’t notice the taxes.
Me too! Obama has made her look not so bad.
Good riddance. Any friend of Murtha's never belonged in the VRWC anyway.
Yeah, no doubt about it.
But I didn't burn mine!
Like Smooth, I still have mine and will from here out.
If you have a point, make it. So far, you've failed in a quite dismal way.
LOL! Do it anyway, this is Sunday evening and we need some enjoyment. :)
