LE POLLUEUR: Scott Pruitt Lasted 16 More Months then He Should Have

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK OF CAMUS MR. MCGEEHAN

PRUITT resigned today. Or, Secretly, yesterday; we don’t know for certain. The news from Washington reads: PRUITT RESIGNED IN DISGRACE. ENVIRONMENT IN SHAMBLES. OOPSY POOPSY. Which begs the question; Why him, and why today?

The home for corrupt politicians is in Washington, hundreds of miles from Oklahoma where Pruitt lives. With his private jet he got from the taxpayers he’ll get there by supper. Then he’ll enjoy his luxury $50 dollar a night apartment, maybe have a private phone conversation. Like any politician in the Trump Era Pruitt did two things: Act mysteriously, receive random perks, hire buddies, and do the opposite of what you’re supposed to do. The latter in this case is suffocating wild life with greenhouse gasses.

So he’s out because he’s a bastard, and because some bigger news is about to drop tomorrow that will make us forget this ever happened (you heard it here first). Let be real, we know how the Stranger ends: In existential torment after the next scandal doesn’t stop Trump from replacing Pruitt with someone who is just as corrupt and against endangered species.

Fuck.
