mentally retarded as well as the mentally deranged?
Though not local, probably one of the biggest nutters ever...one who I refer to as "Big Baby Bush", though those close to him apparently call him "Mr. President". Not only is he border line mentally retarded (invents words like misunderestimate, can't even pronounce nuclear), but he's increasingly mentally unstable, mumbling bible verses to himself, yelling at and scaring young interns he comes across for things that exist solely in his mind, approaching reporters in public and cussing them out, intense paranoia (believes everybody is really out to get him), religious delusion (believes that his lord jesus wants him to do the things he does), and so much more.

Maybe his brain was damaged by that 20 year alcoholic binge he went on, maybe it was all the alleged cocain use, maybe he was just born with a messed up brain, no one knows for sure. He can be sort of cute in the way a retard who pokes themself in the eyeball with a hot dog or splats an icecream cone on the forehead can be (http://www.consumptionjunction.com/downloadsnew/cj_38161.jpg),
but rumour has it that like the grinch his heart has shriveled to a little prune and instead of blood pumping through his veins, a viscous black ooze seeps through his body instead. As with other nutters, he's supposedly incredibly rich too.
(just a semi serious post with a good bit of parody...he's certainly not local, and not really a nutter like we think of the guy with the beard shouting at the corner, but I mean step back and look at it: somehow, a man who's not only functionally illiterate and border line retarded, but described as increasingly mentally unstable and fitting in perfectly in description with the rest of the loonies described previous is somehow at the helm of the worlds most powerful and dumbest nation...the deranged and mentally handicapped can be funny, but also incredibly dangerous too. Just a funny idea I came up with today to try and show the parallels, do with it as you will.) No apologies for ass kickage of content.
