Decapitated Politician

Okay, listen up, you knucklehead. You posted a joke, but it's not very smart, is it? You're asking what you call a politician when they get their head chopped off. It's "a severed head of state" because 'head of state' is a phrase used for a country's top leader. It's a pun because it's literally the head of a person who is also a head of state. Get it now?
