What do you think?

Of what I've read (very little), he seems reasonable to me. He just likes to use colorful (and sometimes confusing) language.

JAR JAR BINKS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE PROTEST OPTION! THE SNAKE WHICH CANNOT SHED ITS SKIN SHALL DIE!

My understanding is that he went insane from syphilitic paresis, not from his ideas.

"General paresis, also known as general paralysis of the insane or paralytic dementia, is a neuropsychiatric disorder affecting the brain, caused by late-stage syphilis. GPI was originally considered a psychiatric disorder when it was first scientifically identified around the nineteenth century, as the patient usually presented with psychotic symptoms of sudden and often dramatic onset."

Aside from what happened after developing this condition, I don't consider him insane at all.

Thank you, I've been meaning to say something too. This cultural touchstone of 1999 shall not stand!

That is exactly what option 2 is for....it's undoubtable that he did go at least a little insane.
