"We are truly led by idiots!"

Of course! What intelligent person would get into politics?

From the online American Heritage Dictionary: "2. An official who is rigidly devoted to the details of administrative procedure."

“Some are able and humane men and some are low-grade individuals with the morals of a goat, the artistic integrity of a slot machine, and the manners of a floorwalker with delusions of grandeur.” (Raymond Chandler)
