View Full Version : Rep. Hank Johnson: Guam could 'tip over and capsize'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNZczIgVXjg&feature=player_embedded
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is afraid that the U.S. Territory of Guam is going to "tip over and capsize" due to overpopulation.
Johnson expressed his worries during a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the defense budget Thursday.
Addressing Adm. Robert Willard, who commands the Navy's Pacific Fleet, Johnson made a tippy motion with his hands and said sternly, "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize."
Willard paused and said: "We don't anticipate that."
Like other islands, Guam is attached to the sea floor, which makes it extremely unlikely that it will tip over, even if there are lots and lots of people on it. Guam is 30 miles long and up to 9 miles wide in certain spots, with a population of 175,000 civilians. The military is proposing the addition of 8,000 U.S. servicemembers and their families.
Reached for comment, a spokesman for Johnson said the lawmaker had visited Guam, and his concern was that the influx of military personnel would overwhelm the island's infrastructure and ecosystem.

This guy is actually serious.
I saw this yesterday on Fox News and I was waiting for him to laugh or say "I'm just messing with all of you.". No, the man is actually worried about a 209 square mile island tipping over and capsizing.
There's your typical Obama supporter. Scary.

Here's an idea...
Maybe we shouldn't have a person who has some sort of "brain disease" representing a state in our Union? Obviously I feel bad for the guy, but it's probably not a great idea. Just a thought.
Eitherway, if you are going to come out and ask that type of question, I'm not exactly sure what some are expecting the response to be from those of us who look at this guy as a representative of a state in our country?
In my opinion, it's scary.

I would love to hear it.
You would think that if a man knows he's sick and wants to do what's good for the people of his state (his job), he would step down. I guess not. When you start asking if a 209 square mile island will tip over, it's time to move on and find a different calling in life.
It's very hard for me to feel completely sorry for the guy only because he opened himself up to the criticism. Apparently he wants to hang on to the power that comes with the territory, so he shouldn't be surprised when people take shots at him after he makes asinine remarks. Again, I will just mark it down as another Obama supporter.
Adm.Willard was rubbing his eye trying his best not to laugh. This is almost sad,At best embarrassing.
As promised. Enjoy.

I had heard about this. I love it. I also love the two blokes on the radio, I must see if I can get them online somewhere.
Who are they? what station. I cant stop laughing.

It's the Opie and Anthony show featuring Jim Norton. They host a four hour show every weekday. You can only hear them on Sirius/XM Satellite radio. Fortunately for broke people like me, two people record the show every monday through friday and post it on bit torrent sites. The links are below. If you don't know how to bit torrent, google "Bit torrent for beginners."

My question now. How much longer are some going to use the excuse that this guy is simply and supposedly off his meds when it comes to him making idiotic statements every other month?
The more I keep hearing from the man, the closer I come to the realization that maybe this guy is just a full-blown moron and it has absolutely nothing to do with his medical condition.
