I've been searching for it for, oh, nearly seven years now:
KAKISTOCRACY--The government of a state by its most unprincipled citizens.
Isn't that great? For the etymology, see World Wide Words, the website of British word fiend Michael Quinion. Cruise around and you'll find lots of other goodies, such as BLOBITECTURE, PAREIDOLIA, and GELOTOLOGIST.

I'm crossing myself, and I'm not even Catholic. That man looks like the devil.
Kakistocracy>From the Greek: Kakos=evil
Yup...
Yep, that about sums him up.
Looks like the Devil, Renee? That is the Devil.
Okay, Bozo, you are killing me with that reference. I should so know that, but I can't place it. Tell me!
Did anybody else know that website already? I can't believe I haven't stumbled on it before now.
That's Yeats, The Second Coming.
Thank you, Renee. Now I can go to bed and get some sleep...
