Who are the most loathsome, corrupt and/or worthless U.S. cabinet secretaries in all of history? This is the Nomination thread; after we have enough nominations we’ll start a Game Room thread to determine the grand winner. I’m running this thread as an experiment — I wonder if all ten of the Ten Most Loathsome Cabinet Secretaries Ever were appointed by the same loathsome President.
I nominate the disgusting pile of shit Betsy DeVos. I have to admire Congressman Joe Courtney’s patience and courtesy in the video. If it had been me, I’d have said “Just stop repeating vile lies, or shut your fucking vomit-hole.” I don’t think Hollywood movies do a good job of depicting extreme evil. If Betsy DeVos auditioned for a role as Head of the KGB the casting director would laugh and offer her a job playing a retarded cleaning lady, or maybe Nurse Ratchett.
Any other nominations? But if Betsy DeShitpile is the winner by acclamation I’ll ask the Mods to change thread title and we can just rant about her, along with her loathsome brother and loathsome husband.
Nobody has mentioned Stephen Munchin, Ryan Zinke, Ben Carson or Rick Perry? Also eligible are officials considered to be of Cabinet rank or higher; these include John Kelly, Scott Pruitt, Mike Pence, John Bolton. Just because the Cabinet official was too stupid to steal millions from the taxpayer and settled for petty grift in the $100,000 range doesn’t make them ineligible. Traitors and perjurers are also welcome (I speak of perjury intended to debase America or its people not picayune fibs like pretending they didn’t cum during a blow job).
Nominations will be ignored unless the submitter submits evidence or essay that their candidate is at least as despicable or loathsome as some on the above list.
We need a separation of two distinct types: the historic version, where the corrupt official has some respect for the position they hold, but are too weak to refuse corruption. And then the more recent type, who hates and despises everything that the position stands for.
C’mon people, if Betsy DeVos is the best you can do, some history lessons are needed.
How about former Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, whose civil liberties abuses during his 1919-1921 tenure helped ensure the founding of the ACLU? Or another A.G., John Mitchell, who went to jail after being found guilty of charges in connection with the Watergate affair (including perjuring himself during the coverup)?
I came in to nominate Albert Fall, former Interior Secretary under Harding who made a cool $400K (in 1920s) dollars for giving his pals sweetheart oil lease deals and was the first cabinet member ever convicted and sent to prison for a major crime committed while in office. I see he also made Time’s worst-cabinet-secretaries-ever list, which includes the above-named A.G.s and some other doozies.
Trump has given us so many tremendous choices for wosrt Cabinet secretary, but my thoughts immediately ran to James Watt and Caspar Weinberger. However, although technically not a cabinet secretary, one truly awful human being takes the prize for worst Presidential advisor is HenryKissinger. By comparioson, DeVos (truly an awful person, idiot extraordinaire, and apocalypter to boot), Zinke (not a geologist despite his claims), Scott Pruitt (on a mission to make corruption not just a job but a way of life), and Carson (found his luggage but still hasn’t read a real history book and has been named Guinness Book of World Records “Dumbest Smart Person” for three years running) are rank amateurs, incompetent buffoons in contrast to Kissinger’s virulence and of course his death toll; he’s the Walter White of cabinet secretaries.
Still, no one in living memory in a White House position has matched the malevolent evil of Dick ‘Mad Panda’ Cheney, who knowingly launched the US into a destructive war with a baseless premise about which we will be dealing with the fallout for decades to come. In a just world, Cheney and Kissinger would be hung upside down from bungies in a stadium and forced to fight to the death, with the survivor left to bleed out while Tina Turner’s “We Don’t Need Another Hero” blasts out at them.
I had a point when I began this but it has since escaped me like a wanderer in the post-apocalyptic wastes of the Metro D.C. area after DeVos successfully eliminates all public education and is ravaged by rovaling gangs of Freedom Caucus and Consevative Fund members.
So he was. For some reason, I was just remembering him as National Security Advisor. In that case, my vote is for Kiss, which is not to detract from the vileness that this is this current clown car of degenerates.
