You know what Scaife does with his money. $5 million to AEI alone. Scaife owns the rightwingnut thought process. Richard Mellon Scaife has been referred to as “nothing less than the financial archangel for the [conservative] movement’s intellectual underpinnings.” His contributions over the years total more than $200 million. His three nonprofit foundations, the Sarah Scaife, Carthage, and Allegheny foundations, have together given away approximately $400,000 a week in recent years, much of the money going to right-wing causes and conservative think tanks. Scaife largess has benefited groups such as the: American Enterprise Institute ($5 million) CATO Institute ($1.8 million) Institute for Justice ($789,000) American Legislative Exchange Council (more than $1.4 million) Heritage Foundation (nearly $20 million) Manhattan Institute ($3.2 million) Free Congress Foundation ($16.4 million) Federalist Society ($2 million)

"And you'll be much happier," he said to Bingham and another Democrat at the table, "because Al Gore will be president."
