Even if they are mediocre, there are a lot of mediocre people. They are entitled to a little representation, aren't they? -- after Roman Hruska

BuzzFeed has an inside list of eminences being considered for senior positions in the next administration.

Not to draw distinctions too fine, but: cretins, criminals, conmen and clowns.

I know this is serious, and it's going to take a lot of hard work to stop this cabal from doing its worst, but -- Christie? Bolton? Palin? Rick Scott? Giuli-freaking-ani! -- admit it, it's also going to be fun. Ben Carson as Secretary of Education alone is almost worth the pain and suffering. Plus, you gotta wonder which countries will get Willie Robertson, Scott Baio, Natalie Gulbis, Antonio Sabato, Jr. and Kid Rock as U.S. ambassadors (will the Swon Brothers each get a country or will they have to share? Maybe one can have Trinidad and the other Tobago).

And where's Carly Fiorina when you need her?

"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.

"Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is the only name listed under chief of staff, while Sessions is also the only one being considered for director of Office of Management and Budget.

"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.

"Potential secretary of Commerce picks include Christie and [Mike] Huckabee, while Carson is under consideration to be secretary of Education."
