Define the Bush administration

kak·is·toc·ra·cy   
n. pl. kak·is·toc·ra·cies
Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.


[Greek kakistos, worst, superlative of kakos, bad; see caco- + -cracy.]

Pronunciation: käk-uh-STÄH-kruh-see

Is that where we got the word "kaka"?

Anyway, I thought this was a joke at Culture Ghost, (via Blanton's and Ashton's), but apparently not. I got the above right off the Dictionary.com page.
