Nixon Wept


Richard Nixon founded the Environmental Protection Agency, as crazy as that seems.

You’d need to be off the charts crazy corrupt to disgust Tricky Dick, but Scott Pruitt is already past his eyeballs in suits and investigations for payoffs, sweetheart deals, graft and malfeasance even as he reverses every environmental protection on the books.

His latest move was forcibly ejecting an AP reporter along with journalists for CNN and E&E from a public hearing. Even for a Trump appointee, he sets an unprecedented new bar for toxic.
