Hell hath no fury

Politizine on Emily Miller, Michael Scanlon’s ex-fiancee who ratted him out to the FBI when he dumped her. He’s been indicted in the Abramoff scandals.

Don’t ever – ever – dump your attractive and smart "thirty-something" fiancee for some twinkie manicurist especially when your fiancee knows every sleazy detail about your public life.

However, don’t waste any sympathy on Miller. As a press aide to Colin Powell she was so vengeful and out of control during a press conference Powell told her to shut up. Before that, she worked for Tom DeLay. 

Miller also attracted attention after berating a Washington Post Magazine reporter. In 2001, while Miller was working as press secretary to DeLay she told a reporter who was writing a profile about DeLay. "You lied!… You betrayed him! You twisted his words! … We don’t know you. You don’t exist… You are dead to us."

She sounds like a nasty little child who has watched the Godfather too often and has delusions of being Michael Corleone – who at least destroyed people for business reasons and personal gain, not spite. 

Scanlon was a bottom-dweller too. Apparently even his friends didn’t like him.

(His) 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.

All of them, they’re just a pack of back-stabbing weasels, aren’t they?
