I had to look up the big words. A kakistocracy (/ˌkækɪsˈtɒkrəsi, -ˈstɒk-/) is a system of government which is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as the 17th century. Is he on acid??? That sounds exactly like obummer and Illary.

"kakistocracy" is an old, well established word meaning "rule by the worst elements of society".

The 0bama regime, for example, was a budding kakistocracy.

“governed by the stupid”.

as opposed to a “aristocracy”: governed by the rich
or “meritocracy”: governed by the earners
etc.

“”kakistocracy” What’s that supposed to mean? “

It means Brennan thinks he’s smarter than the average bear.

For some reason Brennan is prone to using 4 bit words when 2 bit words will do.

Obviously he’s never taken Technical Writing.

That perfectly describes the Obama Administration and the Clinton Administration and, for that matter, the Carter Administration.
