Talkin' trash to the garbage around me.

Hell hath no fury...

The snowball continues to roll downhill.

Meet Emily Miller, press handler for Republican big dogs like Tom DeLay and Colin Powell. She was also engaged to one Michael Scanlon, Jack Abramoff's lobbying partner. They apparently kept no secrets from each other. And Scanlon was stupid enough to run off with his manicurist.

Quoth the Bard: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

And there you have it. If you're going to be committing crimes against the Republic, you shouldn't be a dick. And Scanlon sounds like a real fucking gem:
Scanlon's former colleagues did not speak warmly of him, saying he was not a very likable person because of the way he treated others, and that he later became flamboyant with his newfound wealth.

It's funny how large historical events have extraordinarily inane proximate causes, the matches that light the fuse. Buffoons.
