Peter Principle 

Description of phenomenon by which the most incompetent members of a given organization will inevitably, inexorably, incomprehensibly rise to the the highest levels of power. In short, a person's responsibilities are inversely related to that person's ability to perform said responsibilities.

George W. Bush's Presidency is the Peter Principle in its most horrible realization.
