Good riddance to bad rubbish. My apologies to 'bad rubbish'.

As if the replacement will be any better....

True dat.

Good riddance of course, a replacent would probably be worse considering the talent Trump administration attracts. Most importantly, how is he getting to Oklahoma? First or coach? ;)

Hopefully, they'll prosecute the bum and find him a room in the grey bar hotel.

What are the odds Donny will take the hint and do the right thing? Slim to none, I fear.

The replacement is a former industry lobbyist.
Suprize, suprize!

Coal industry, no less, and former Chief of Staff for Sen. James Inhofe, another climate change denier.

Trebuchet.

Pruitt had a long history as a grifter before the EPA. Trump’s kinda guy. The perfect Repube.

"Kevin Chmielewski, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) whistleblower who played a central role in Scott Pruitt's downfall at the agency, said he feels vindicated by the administrator's departure.
"I hate to take a credit for a man losing his job, but I guess I'd have to say that I take the credit," Chmielewski told The Hill on Friday, the day Pruitt left the EPA.
Chmielewski, who served as deputy chief of staff for operations at the agency during most of Pruitt's tenure, leaked documents and provided information that prompted investigations into several high-profile scandals, from the retroactive altering of the administrator's public calendar to a request that staff help him find a condo in Washington.
Chmielewski left the agency in February, saying he was forced out after questioning spending and management practices.
But he didn't step back after his dismissal. Instead, he guided journalists and environmentalists toward controversies surrounding Pruitt by recommending which agency documents to seek out via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
"I've put the breadcrumbs where they had to go and pointed to the FOIAs - the FOIAs have been 99.9 percent of it," Chmielewski said. "They've all come back, and in a lot of cases they were worse than I even knew about."
He called the public records -- released in batches over the past few months -- the silent hero behind Pruitt's departure. Many of those documents were made available as a result of a Sierra Club lawsuit that challenged the agency for missing a legal deadline to produce the records and essentially forced the agency to provide almost 60,000 pages of documents, many of which backed up reports already circulating about Pruitt and how the EPA was run."
