OMG! I just want to reach out and smack him with that smug attitude… and I’m practically a pacifist.

He clearly believes this is all for show. Inconsequential. So he’s gaming it.

Typical delusions of the most corrupt. Yanukovich (ex-prez of Ukraine) exhibited similar smugness… until about 3 hours before he fled the country.

Made further apparent by Pruitt first answering ‘I don’t know what a biometric lock is’, and then when one is described, answers ‘that’s my understanding’. WTF? Either you know or you don’t.

And no-one called him on that.

Yeah, he was just playing a big game of “beat the clock”… time for some serious indictments.

Yes. Life is hell now. But Mel Blanc makes it better. The voice of Bugs Bunny. That’s all you have to say. He’s in heaven now, playing cribbage with Michelangelo and Charlie Parker. This is not snark.

I am betting there are a few of the younger folk going Kitty who? Hell I saw her and never knew why she was a celeb. Was she actually somebody or did she just wander on to set one day and no one thought to ask?

Off to Goggle again.
