Cracked: The 6 Most Insane People Ever To Run For President
There is nothing in the Constitution that says you have to be sane to run for president. The forefathers knew that such an arbitrary limitation would deprive future generations of a tremendous amount of entertainment.

So, let's honor their wishes and take a moment to salute those who believed being batshit insane should in no way stop them from running the country.

3. HAHAHA!
And at the end of the piece, right after Mercer was one of those ad-bots ads for- you guessed it- Sarah Palin (well McCain-Palin but her ugly mug is all over it). :rofl:

7. Or Ralph Nader?
Both of them definitely deserved a spot on the list.

8. From McKinney to Mercer; great choices.
I'm going to look at the detail election results to see how many loons actually voted for some of these.
