The Psychometer: Who Went Too Far Last Week?

First Posted: 10/17/11 12:14 PM ET   Updated: 12/17/11 05:12 AM ET

You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs. Similarly, you can't have a week where a handful of people didn't do or say something that makes you question their ability to stand trial (should the need arise).

Once again, our Psychometer scientists have rated last week's greatest common-sense offenders, and ranked them from "Delusional But Harmless" to "Batshit Insane." It's just our way of letting you know who to watch out for in the coming days.

How did right go so wrong

Wait. Perry's kid quit his job to help his father's campaign and she blamed his unemployment on Obama? That kind of logic makes me regret giving up cocaine.

Bocephus has finally let the wacky backy turn his mind (what little there was) into mush. The old man continues to turn in his grave.

well, what is it?  I guess since no one knows what you are talking about, no wonder it's not there.  I guess you heard something on Fox???

Why? For ridiculing Ratzinger's underhanded Nazi support? What if she ridiculed him for obfuscating evidence of pedophile priests? Would that be more politically correct?

the only thing wrong with this is they put the wrong heads on Obama and Boehner golfing - it was supposed to be the other way around.  We all know what Hank was saying and it wasn't Boehner who he was referring to with the mustache.

If Perry's "faith" is bigotry and ignorance, then yeah. And he should be!

I know kinda hope Perry gets the nomination his wife is a better gift than a new iPhone at Christmas. And while I don't know anything about her, her appearance just reminds of one of those Stepford Wives who start drinking Chardonnay as soon as her husband leaves for work in the morning. I am sure we will have more verbal gems from her in the future. That being said time for a drink...LOL!

I loved the one where she sad (Paraphrased) "My husband is the only "REAL" conservative in the group!" (of GOP candidates) and then proceeded to get a "DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS" look... and began to IMMEDIATELY backtrack!

Wow if Anita Perry became first lady, she could give Mary Lincoln a run for her money as the nuttiest first lady.

And many have said Lincoln was also gay. I see parallels.

I don't know about that. Laura Bush once killed a person. Pat Nixon and Betty Ford were notoriously drunk through most of their husbands' administrations. Hillary Clinton had to be out of her mind for putting up with Bill. All I know about Michelle Obama is that I'd like to lick her arm pits and sometimes I think I have, I've seen them so many times!

To be fair to Laura Bush it was in Reno and she just wanted to watch him die.

A summer intern hired in February, huh? You know, scottie's handlers must be *really* inept if they can't come up with a more cohesive story than this.
