I was commenting that her IMAGE is one of making having a mental disorder trendy (likely playing up the gaga angle).  She does the song, "Bad Romance" where she ends up burning a lover in bed.  She does the Telephone video where she ends up poisoning an entire diner.  In real life, an individual doing such things, is considered mentally ill.   You can go with the rest of her weirdness as part of that.  So, I would say her image handlers decided to make her appear unhinged.   Based on this, I said I have no idea where she is going to come out for anything.  She may end up either supporting PETA or the NRA, or both.

Beyond the public persona, I am sure she is sane.  It is just that her public persona is what she is when she is trying to communicate to people.  The Gaga persona is what people care about.

I definately agree with that. And quite frankly I don't see what people like about the whole "GaGa persona". Guess the people handling her image were inspired though.

By the way, my comment wasn't meant to be fully serious, more like taking the absurity of Lady GaGa and taking it places that was meant to be an absurdity that would fit.  Call it a weak attempt at humor, or an attempt at being witty that was only marginally so.  It was meant to be in a similar area your original comment was about, in regards to GaGa needing to discuss with the Pope political manners.

In the case of image and impact, being in the entertainment field means it is critical you not be ignored, which would explain better to look insane, than to be plain.  GaGa has some talent, but the rise on the insane persona isn't one I think is a good sign.  I am personally disturbed that she seems to wear this insanity pretty well though.
