Who in the fuck excuses the misbehavior of a subordinate employee by saying, "They were working for a very important person." Who in the fuck does this public employee think who he is and for whom he is working?

George Washington Plunkitt had a lot to say about the difference between honest graft and dishonest graft. See his "Plunkitt of Tammany Hall" memoir.

TL;DR - Honest graft is taking advantage of an opportunity to make money, as long as the public's needs are met. Dishonest graft is stealing directly from the public till, with no benefit to them.

Appears Sec Scruitt received a large mortgage on a small income while he was grifting as a local yokel back home during his legislatin' days and prior to the purchase by energy oligopolies of his AG position back in the Dust Bowl. I think the grift is strong in this one.
