Even at first blush, Pruitt’s blaming of career staffers couldn’t stand up to even cursory inspection. Why would career employees take on executive decisions and circumvent regulations to aggrandize Scott Pruitt? Are we to believe they are self-hating masochists? Pruitt wants us to believe career employees would risk their jobs for a man who hates the EPA, them and everything the agency stand for. Not buying . . .

Now it makes sense . . .

If you sh*t in the Pruitt commode that will likely disinfect it.

Next we will hear about gold leafed acoustic ceiling tiles ordered specifically to fling the fountain pens into.

Meh, who cares. Nothing will happen of this. Is this article a filler piece?

Pruitt also reportedly wanted to redesign the agency’s “challenge coin,” by omitting the EPA seal and adding “symbols more reflective of himself and the Trump administration.”

I was going to suggest a pile of shit with a ginger cat carcass on top, but the oil soaked pelican is quite evocative.

Meh. He bought some cheap fountain pens to give to “dignitaries.” The very least of his bad behavior.

Dear God. What planet did these people (okay, just Pruitt today) come from, where they think nothing of this kind of spending?

Ok, the funniest thing about this? As someone who loves and uses fountain pens regularly, I know that $130 isn’t a lot to spend on a modern pen, especially not one meant to be more for show than for use. So Pruitt obviously cheaped out on the pen itself in order to spend extra on the engraving and the EPA seal.

EPA had no choice but to go after the baby seals since the Japanese have just decimated the whale population.

My late father-in-law would regularly use Chinamen. After I’d cringed too many times, I had to tell him to knock it off. He also use the n world loudly in a restaurant once, all heads turned his way. Nipped that in the bud tout de suite.

I wonder when Pruitt will discover Dawn Dishwashing Liquid is used to clean contaminated wildlife and order its reformulation because its harmful to oil?
