A "counterintuitive friendship"

Richard Scaife got his wish when President Bill Clinton spoke at Scaife's memorial service, praising their "counterintuitive friendship".

"An unlikely friendship drew former President Bill Clinton to a sunny hilltop in the Laurel Highlands on Saturday, where he paid tribute to the late Tribune-Review owner Richard Mellon Scaife. 'If someone had asked me the day I left the White House what's the single most unlikely thing I would ever do, this would rank high on the list,' Clinton told about 150 Trib Total Media employees, who gathered around the pool at Scaife's boyhood home in Penguin Court for the memorial." --  Salena Zito and Mike Wereschagin, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
