Oh, gawd! The crazies get so ballsy around Christmas, don't they? It's like all the lights him-o-tize them or something.

Case in point: Faith-based fathead Rick Warren has taken to the Internets to rant about how everyone saying he's a bigot has got him all wrong. According to Warren, he knows it may have sounded like he was saying homosexuality is similar to pedophilia in that one kooky interview everyone quotes, but what he was actually saying is that God hates homosexual relationships the same way he hates it when adults rape children, which is completely different. Got it? Also: IT'S THE BLOGGERS' FAULT!!!!!

The video of Warren's whining (after the jump), did little but remind us that this year has been a great one in insane political clips. After the jump, our by no means comprehensive collection of some favorites.

Rick Warren: The definition of mealy-mouthed.

Why Fred Thompson didn't end his anemic run for president the very moment he had to beg this audience to clap for him is beyond us. TV celebrity makes people do nutty things.

OF COURSE we included this one. That turkey killer a-peekin' and a-grinnin' in the background, while Sarah Palin goes on and on about what America needs, is one of the most brilliant pieces of unintentional performance art we've ever seen.

Palin was hot like the barrel of a freshly used machine gun this year.

And when it wasn't Mommy Sarah making you shake your head in wonder, it was her giant brood of Alaskan snow children.

TERRORIST FIST JAB!!! An idiot on Fox News really actually used that term and didn't immediately fire herself for being a laughable piece of garbage; guess she's lucky that puppets have no conscience.

Still can't watch this one without laughing a little. Poor old fella was just so tired. We hope these days he's getting all the naps he needs.

Fox News gets all silly and killy again. Ha ha ha! I mean, seriously, it'd be great if we could just straight up murder Obama and Osama at the same time, right? Right? Are you with me? Right?

If you don't feel for Eliot Spitzer's wife in this clip, you're without a heart.

The McCain-Palin rallies were cute.

Dark horse presidential candidate Mike Gravel responded to Palin's unintentional performance art with his own, intentional pieces. America wasn't ready for them. It's not you, it's us, Mikey!

In summation, it's all scripted bullshit, anyway.
