re: #61 Killgore Trout

I don’t think so. He had no real motive to hire the Clintonistas of keep Bush appointees around after the election. If he wanted a cabinet of radicals he would have appointed one.

Here’s a motive: Sow economic destruction without getting the blame.

If he brought in the radicals from the get-go, and they drove the economy down in order to increase the demand for their “cures”, it would be patently obvious.

He needs a disposable cabinet… one who will do the damage… and take the public disdain with them as they slink out the door.
