Huckabee, Gingrich, Giuliani, Carson, Palin
Donald Trump‘s transition team has prepared a preliminary list of potential Cabinet members for his upcoming administration.
The list, obtained by BuzzFeed News, reveals a number of familiar faces including Ben Carson, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich and others being weighed for multiple positions.
In total, the list includes 41 names and covers 14 different departments. A source told BuzzFeed that the list is not final and will likely be changed in the future.
Attorney general picks include Chris Christie, Jeff Sessions and Rudy Giuliani.
Newt Gingrich, John Bolton and Bob Corker are listed as potential picks for the secretary of State.
Ben Carson is under consideration for Secretary of Education.
Christie is also being weighed for secretary of Homeland Security, and Carson, Gingrich and Florida Gov. Rick Scott are potential picks for secretary of Health and Human Services.
Sarah Palin also makes a surprise appearance on the shortlist, mentioned as one of seven potential candidates to become the secretary of the Interior.
Nothing but the best.
It is commonly held that Albert Fell, Secretary of the Interior during the administration of Warren G. Harding, was the worst secretary of the interior ever. He actually went to jail because the corruption was so revolting.
It is possible (probable?) that his record will topple.
It’s just a roll call of losers already rejected by the electorate as unfit to govern. Extraordinary. Yet somehow not unexpected.

I am reminded of the scene in The Lion King where Scar brings in the hyenas to live among the lions under Scar’s rule.

I think I’m missing something to get that joke.
It’s from the Max Davidson comedy “Jewish Prudence”. They’re the jury at a trial and he wonders if they’re sympathetic, so this shot is followed by a slow close-up travelling shot along both rows showing in greater detail just how sympathetic they aren’t. One of the first images that comes to my mind if I think of an aggregation of people whose power is worrying. What is coming out about Trump cabinet choices really does make these guys look good.
