EPA's Scott Pruitt enlisted security detail in picking up dry cleaning, moisturizing lotion

Reader comment: "OK, now THAT's a violation of the emollients clause, no two ways about it."

Scoop's note: Congrats on that joke. That's a great line!

If we're going to have crooks in government, can we at least have top-notch crooks instead of small-time grifters? He's like the world's worst, least ambitious Bond villain. Lotionfinger. "He's the man, the man with the gentle touch." "No, Mr, Bond, I expect you to moisturize."

Pruitt's security detail costs the country more than three million dollars per year, which makes that moisturizing lotion mighty expensive. He could at least have them rob Fort Knox or the U.S. Mint while they're out in the limo.

At least he was sensible enough to buy a discount mattress. Although it might have been cheaper if he hadn't sent a nuclear submarine to fetch it.
