A celebrity or public officer who, upon being placed in front of a microphone or a video recording device, is unwaveringly committed to saying something shockingly stupid and/or nonsensical. Usually the comments are so awful that even the speaker's most staunch and committed supporters must hastily move to distance themselves from the comment(s) and the person.
Senator Akin's comments regarding "Legitimate Rape" earned him the honor of being a Gafftard.
