From the Washington Post, and to complete the Circle Of Grift on a Camp Runamuck Thursday we had…

…this freaking guy, part the infinity.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt asked members of his 24/7 security detail to run errands for him on occasion, including picking up his dry cleaning and taking him in search of a favorite moisturizing lotion, according to two individuals familiar with those trips who spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk frankly.

It finds the lotion or it gets the hose.

While EPA security agents are required to protect Pruitt at all times — while he is working and during his off hours — the two individuals said the administrator had asked members of the detail to perform tasks that go beyond their primary function. In one instance, they said, he directed agents to drive him to multiple locations in search of a particular lotion on offer at Ritz-Carlton hotels. One other occasions, they added, he asked agents to pick up his dry cleaning without him.

Just as the Founders intended.

Even more than the president*, Pruitt is the test case for Republicans in the field of, Holy Creeping Christ, When Is Enough Enough? After all, they could can him tomorrow and find another energy industry finger-puppet to install at EPA who’ll do all the awful stuff Pruitt has been doing without the thick overlay of profiteering. There is absolutely no reason why any Republican should support this freeloader any more, I don’t care how soft and supple his skin is. I am at the point now where I’m going to start sending him invoices and am thinking seriously about taking him to small-claims court.
