kakistocracy



kakistocracy noun [kak-uh-stok-ruh-see]

A form of government in which the worst persons are in power.


I was unfamiliar with this word, but definitely familiar with the definition. To paraphrase the Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart in a 60's obscenity case: "I may not know how to define it, but I know it when I see it."
