It simply doesn’t. Because the mind of an idiot is actually so creative that when a reasonable person thinks, “this is now it, it cannot get any worse”, the mind of an idiot will come up with a much more idiotic idea.

Washington Post writes that Barack Obama’s staff found computers with “six-year-old” Microsoft software in White House, although they’re used to Apple machinery and software:
One member of the White House new-media team came to work on Tuesday, right after the swearing-in ceremony, only to discover that it was impossible to know which programs could be updated, or even which computers could be used for which purposes.
