Hell Hath No Fury…

Michael Scanlon found himself at the center of one of the biggest political scandals in Washington history as a result of cheating and lying�but not the type involving the numerous clients he was paid to lobby Congress for, former coworkers and friends of his ex-fiancee say.Scanlon was implicated in the Abramoff scandal by his former thirtysomething fiancee, Emily J. Miller, whom he met in the late 1990s while working as communications director for former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX), three former associates who worked with Scanlon at DeLay’s office said. Colleagues say Miller went to the FBI after Scanlon broke off their engagement and announced his intention to marry another woman.
Miller did not return a call seeking comment. Scanlon’s attorney, Stephen Braga, did not respond to phone calls or emails seeking comment. Former coworkers of Scanlon and Miller at DeLay’s office and of Miller at the State Department would speak only under condition of anonymity, saying they did not want to be called as witnesses in a trial.
Who would have thought that matters of the heart would bring about the downfall of these intensenly corrupt men.
Good for her.
