Everything George W. Bush said during his speeches.
Some functioning retards managed to make their way to the top, president Bush did.

Adjective describing a person(s) who has just enough brain cells to survive; devoid of common sense and mental aptitude.
Dave is such a tool. I bet he can't even wipe his own ass. He's functionally-retarded.
People suck. Most of the general public is functionally-retarded.

A person who is obviously weird, strange, and does retard-like things, but is a fully functional human being, or whatever species they are. Usually they are assholes, but they're usually enjoyable and funny.
Example 1)
*Gonzo screams "Dick Waterfall" in the middle of an instructional period*
Jessica: What is wrong with that man
Amber: I don't know, but he must be a pretty functional kind of retard.
Example 2)
*Actual disabled child walks by*
Jessica: He's probably not a very functional retard
Amber: Dude, that's my brother.

1. Psychology. a person of the operational order in a former classification of mental retardation, having a mental age of less than three years old and an intelligence quotient under 25 yet still mantains the ability to convince society of their relevance, and ability to be trusted to act intelligently.
2. A charismatic individual which demonstrates inconsistent reasoning abilities and has an inherent disreguard towards their sociological perspective.
3. One who assumes "any publicity is good publicity."
Dixie: Can you believe that idiot?!? Does he have any idea how offensivly stupid he is?!?
Dewey: I can believe it because he is a Functional Retard.

a person who is mentally retarded, but can be propped up through staged appearances in limited contexts and posed in a variety of situations. High functioning attributes include an ability to overreact to real or imagined threats, denial through distraction and frequent changes of subject. May serve as cover to con-schemes when place in position of authority. Has no self awareness and therefore no ability to feel shame or guilt. Overconfidence is mistaken for strength in people with this disability. Religion is often cited in order to maintain cohesiveness and order. HFR's in positions of power attract highly loyal Sheeple followers. HFR's tend to live the paradox of the self guided puppet, yet require input from non HFR's for their material.
George W. Bush is both the commander in cheif and the poster boy for all high functioning retards.
