	Bruce Babbitt, Alone in the Wilderness \| Outside Online
		Babbitt was brought up to be the sort of person who would worry for years because a clerk had let him take a soda pop when he was a nickel short and he had somehow neglected to repay the debt.
		Babbitt is as capable as the next person of ladling out Boy Scout pieties about public service and team play, but what seems to fascinate him about public life is the chance to compete in the game, his discomfort on stage notwithstanding.
		Babbitt is also proud of his landmark compromises: the forest plan in the Pacific Northwest, the deal between the Park Service and Florida's sugar industry to clean up the Everglades, and endangered-species negotiations like the one between Georgia Pacific and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to preserve the habitat of the red cockaded woodpecker.

	Bah, Bah, Bruce
		Bruce Babbitt, so the story goes, had meant to sleep in that Saturday morning and was irritated when the phone rang with the call telling him he was the first Babbitt, at last, to be governor of Arizona.
		Bruce Babbitt had worried to reporters at the start of his tenure in Interior that he might "become a prisoner of my resume." His ambition still reached beyond the traditionally western niche of public lands policy.
		Bruce himself had no direct part of it, but at the height of his family’s empire in Arizona, they used to joke that even the sheep said "Baa-bbitt." With all the political heat on her and on the Clinton administration, Janet Reno needed a lamb to sacrifice.

		The Babbitt family, which had come to Arizona in 1886 and made a fortune in cattle and trading posts, was being described as the Kennedy dynasty of the West.
		In November 1992, before Babbitt had accepted his appointment by President-elect Bill Clinton, he declared the Interior Department "a mess." The agency's 500 million acres of public land, mostly in the West and Alaska, were suffering from 12 years of neglect under Republican rule.
		Babbitt was free to be candid at the time, because although he anticipated a high post in the Clinton administration, he had no interest in cleaning up Interior's Augean stables.

	WorldNetDaily: Bruce Babbitt, cheap crook
		Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt slipped off the hook on one political corruption charge last week, but it is increasingly apparent to anyone who bothers to scratch the surface of mounting evidence against him on other fronts that the Cabinet official is just another of the Clinton administration's many sleazy, cheap crooks.
		Prosecutor Carol Elder Bruce was investigating allegations that Babbitt lied to Congress in his explanation as to why the Interior Department in 1995 rejected a permit for a proposed casino by three Wisconsin Indian tribes.
		Babbitt is one of those politicians who portrays himself as being totally motivated by compassion for his fellow man. Yet he is actually a Clintonesque wheeler-dealer who lies, cheats and steals to get what he wants, then uses his government power and taxpayer resources to cover his tracks.
