Oh, Beehler!

It's an inside joke at the office. In fact the man has become a fictitious character with me and my friends, sort of an amalgamation of fact and fancy that only Washington journalists could or would come up with, let alone find funny.

Bush's nominee to be the new EPA inspector general, an invisible but hugely important post, currently works at the Defense Department as an environmental bureaucrat and used to work for Koch Industries (look them up). I've been writing about this guy like mad for the last six weeks, and I was at his Senate confirmation hearing. I can't share my work here, obviously, but you get the gist of it from this link.
