kakistocracy

06.13.07 | Comment?

This is your word of the day. Not familiar with it? Don’t despair, you can observe it each day simply by reading or watching the news coverage of US Government officials. The definition?

kakistocracy: Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.


The latest bunch of coverage on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is enough to make you know it’s true. His contradictory statements leave only two conclusions: one, he’s incompetent (not knowing what’s going on in his organization) or two, he’s lying through his teeth. Gonzales is not the only liar in government, he’s just the latest liar that’s been publicly unmasked. Unfortunately, there will be more of the same in the future.
