Pruitt: "a third-rate ideologue"

NYT:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/05/business/epa-officials-questioned-scott-pruitt.html?smid=tw-share

William K. Reilly, who led the E.P.A. under President George Bush, called Mr. Pruitt a “third-rate ideologue” and said he was aware of staff members who had been sidelined at the agency for raising questions about Mr. Pruitt’s spending.

“I think he’s well beyond his sell-by date,” Mr. Reilly said. “Any administration but this one would have discharged him long ago.”





I'd say it differently.

How about

A ninth-rate apparatchik
A puppet for GOP billionaires
A fool denying climate change because oil companies pay him
A 35th rate oil company bagman
