Perusing the Interwebz, I came across a bit of wit from H.L. Mencken:
"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 occupied by a downright moron."
-- H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
This reminds me of a line from the movie Blazing Saddles:
People of the land. The common clay. You know: morons.
