Politically Challenged
A euphemistic expression for the mentally ill who are obsessed with the views, actions and figures of one political party or political system.
The emotional attachment is so great that said person suffers from an inability to rationalize opposing viewpoints, vote for opposing candidates, etc. Further, he/she is delusional in the belief that their hyper-attention to politics is somehow healthy for them, their friends, or discourse in general.
Modeled after 'mentally challenged' and other 'challenged' as an alternative for a disability.

American cable news is so infested with nutjobs, that those networks ought to be reclassified as pornography for the politically challenged (and then scrambled for the rest of us).
