The list is long and dark, and includes a Dancing with the Stars reject who is now poised to be in charge of America's nuclear arsenal. The man responsible for helping to guide our economy was the one who sparked the mortgage crisis in the first place. These aren't do-gooder public servants but muddy corporate swamp monsters whose total net worth is $14 billion — the richest cabinet in presidential history.
