LINK Read Scott Pruitt’s Bizarre Resignation Letter – Mother Jones
Anyone got a job for this whiney, thin-skinned, corrupt, anti-intellectual, lying sack of crap? He quit his job (apparently he doesn't like be called a liar, after lying . . . Or corrupt, after abusing his authority . . . Or a moron, after ignoring the opinions of scientific experts . . . Or lacky of the oil and gas industry, after documentation that he was following their wishes to the letter . . . Or paranoid, after her spent tax dollars on a security measures) and we (Okies) don't want him back.

Making his staff run personal errands?
Giving large raises to his Oklahoma crony staff while slashing the EPA budget?
Resignation letter claiming he is a victim?
This is what a poor leader does. Whoever hired this man must not be a good judge of character.

That phonebooth - was that like the "cone of silence?"
does he get to keep it?
@ThinkKate I hope he is forced to pay for it then keep it as a reminder of his failure.
Dismantling the EPA was his top priority and he definitely was successful at that. Enriching himself at the expense of taxpayers was just a side benefit that his boss was okay with since he’s been busy doing that himself, perhaps with a bit more subtlety.

That goes further than "bizarre". Never seen anything even remotely like the ass-licking in that letter. He's priming the pump for a different Trump-appointed job... maybe Ambassador to Chick-fil-A, or trump Hotel Used Mattress Tester. You watch... Trump will recycle this dirtbag where no ethics are required at all. He'll be working for Trump again within 90-days.

He's angling for Attorney General, since it's looking more and more like Trump might finally ask Jeff Sessions to resign. Pruitt has been "petitioning" Trump on this for at least a month.
@Akfishlady Nope... it has to be something Congress can't veto. Something in the GOP campaign, Trump businesses, etc. Even the Rep Congress creatures were starting to walk away from Pruitt for the bad smell he had.
@mtnhome that does give me some bit of hope, but given the extent to which Congressional Republicans (Senators in particular) have already shown their willingness to condemn something publicly only to take zero action regarding it even when they have clear ability to do so, doesn't make that hope particularly a strong one.
In the end, if Trump asked them to confirm Pruitt as the AG, they would try their hardest to find a way to make it happen. In particular, by giving Pruitt every possible opportunity to rationalize and apologize for his role in all of his scandals, and promise that he is a changed man and will do better. That would be enough to give them political cover, especially if it happens right after the elections instead of right before them.
Keep in mind also that as a general rule when it comes to Senate confirmations, Republicans look for any means possible to achieve their desired ends, while Democrats typically will vote in favor of a confirmation (even one they dislike or have political disagreement with) unless they have a clear, definitive, and undeniable "good cause" grounds to vote against. So unless the Inspector General of the EPA files a report that clearly states that Pruitt violated ethics rules, many Democrats would still vote to confirm him, especially since his legal experience in federal courts is fairly extensive.
Maybe the woman with baby accosting him in the restaurant finally decided him? Hope he stays away.

I wonder if that's all it would take to publicly humiliate some of them. They think they are privileged and in the right. Maybe they need a wake up call.
I can’t believe he was ever an attorney general! He simply doesn’t seem to be ‘all there!’

Personally hoping the "unrelenting attacks" continue , particularly the one where he's arrested and spends the rest of his life in a nasty gulag for misappropriation of funds and crimes against humanity.

I swear to this. If I see him anywhere in Oklahoma again he'll wish it was a teacher holding a kid telling him off.
