Cabinet Secretaries Vying For Wacko Points to Redeem at Chucky Cheese

September 26, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

So now that we know Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke speaks in some sort of code language that only pelicans and sheep herders understand, let’s mosey on over to Scott Pruitt at the EPA.

Pruitt just made headlines again.

 

 

Yeah, he needs his own private phone booth in his office because … he’s Superman and needs a cool place to change clothes?  The other booths like this one bought by the government are at Veteran’s Affairs and are being used exclusively for hearing tests.

Hey, couldn’t he have used Dick Cheney’s man-sized safe?  Surely that’s laying around somewhere.

He also takes people’s phones away before they enter his office and …

Pruitt, who has become a polarizing and high-profile figure as he seeks to roll back Obama-era policies and shrink the EPA’s footprint, has essentially tripled the personal security detail that served past administrators. The detail now includes about 18 people to cover round-the-clock needs and his frequent travel schedule. Such 24/7 coverage has prompted officials to rotate in special agents from around the country who otherwise would be investigating environmental crimes.

… he needs his own army to protect him.

Good Lord, dude, are you plotting to release chemical weapons in Democratic strongholds?

And no, no one else in the history of the United States government has ever made demands like these, but then again, there probably weren’t as many nuts at any given time.

Thanks to AlaninAustin for the heads up.

  1. A private phone booth? In his own office? Can he fit a Fortress of Solitude inside the booth, inside his office, too?

    (It sounds like he has too many people around him for a Fortress of Solitude to work anywhere else on planet earth.)

  2. How about Agent Maxwell Smart’s “Cone of Silence?”

  3. Dammit TTPT, you beat me to it. I bet whatever nonsense he spends our money on will be just about as effective as the dome.

  4. MS JJ has covered what Pruitt and Zinke are doing beneath the media cover of Donnie’s twitter fire. Meanwhile Betsy Devos, Price and a cotillion others of Donnie Deplorable are out there like Mnunchin and Donnie’s whole scam damn family literally raping the planet and US Treasury.

    Meanwhile, Charles & David Koch along with Doug Devious, donor from Texas, are closing their checkbooks to the Congress varmints, until they receive their tax ‘relief.’ Dog forbid they should be expected to pay at least the same effective rate as their employees.

  5. IM<HO, nothing the EPA director gets is of such a sensitive nature that they need a SCIF to receive it. This is just punched ticket on the oh-so-self-important train. Chooo Chooo.

  6. Superman?
    More like Who, Dr. Who?
    Yeah, the one from Whosville.

  7. They’re guarding his office against sea level rise caused by global warming.

    I’ve seen one of those! I think it was called ‘The Cone of Silence’. Didn’t work too good, though. We could always hear everything they said.

  10. Off topic, but I was in my masseuse’s waiting room today and read (in Time mag.) that Secret Service protection for Trump has cost $60,000 so far in 2017 on golf cart rentals at Trump’s resorts.

    Personally, I think they should stiff him on the bill. A page right from the Trump playbook. Let him get Bubba to look after him

  11. Not YOUR Bubba, Susan.

  12. AK Lynne:
    I doubt you’ve gotta worry about her mistaking your intentions. Here in Texas, you can’t swing a dead repugnantcan congressvarmint by the tail in a full circle without hittin’ a Bubba.

  13. Why does he need a phone booth and 24-security detail who should be investigating environmental crimes?

  14. Which is to say I’ve known a lot of Bubbas who would give you the shirt off their backs.

  15. It’s those damn environmentalists. They’re really dangerous…

  16. Oh, please let it be the Tardis which will whisk him away to another alternate galaxy all together!

  17. This is going to be the first year I get really upset about paying my taxes. 🙁

  18. I miss my dad dearly but I’m glad he’s not around to see what’s happened to his beloved Department of the Interior where he spent his entire career after a short stint in the army. Dad was an Eisenhower Republican and in no way would support the flame thrower in chief and his agenda. Sad!!!
