Random quote of the day:

 

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.  On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

—H. L. Mencken, “Bayard vs. Lionheart,” On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe

That's a well-known one of Mencken's. (Though a friend of mine had never even heard of him; can you imagine?) I'd say we reached that point long before Mencken, like with Millard Fillmore or Andrew Johnson.
