GOOD!!!!!! Despicable and hateful Anti-American morons like him have no business in any Government operated agency or office. Not even in the public or private sectors of business for that matter.

Except to the politically correct weenies, using the term "crucify" is not the really point. Rather, it's the attitude that the EPA is intent on intimidation by royal fiat, supported by the Administration. And if the guy was truly "sorry" for his remark, he would have resigned 2 years ago, or should have been castigated by the Admin and fired.

A lot of top officials within the United States should resign and follow in his footsteps because, that's what they've been doing for many years now. They've been just randomly and selectively crucifying companies, individuals and organizations just for spite. You're not supposed to apply religious sentiment to civil or secular laws.

Merely damage control. The US government is eerily similar to the Romans.
