Removing qualified professionals from positions throughout an organization, and installing ideologists with no skills to adequately perform the mission of those organizations, in this case a whole federal government administration, under George W. Bush.
Nobel 2008 Economics Laureate PAUL KRUGMAN: "I also wonder how much the Femafication of government under President Bush contributed to Mr. Paulson’s fumble. All across the executive branch, knowledgeable professionals have been driven out; there may not have been anyone left at Treasury with the stature and background to tell Mr. Paulson that he wasn’t making sense."

Get the Femaficationmug. The Ballot Lottery, where the person you vote for only has a 50/50 odds of actually representing you, and even if they win, it doesn't matter, because the other party won't work with them anyway. So you always lose.
