U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson Is Concerned That Guam Will Tip Over...*Sigh*

You have got to wonder how people like this can get elected to our government. MY GOD! He comments that he is concerned that the island of Guam will tip over because of overpopulation- when discussing with the military plans to put additional troops there.



Where is that "Face in Palm" picture please? :shk:

And you wonder why this country is in trouble? Jesus.

Hank Johnson is an epic porn star name. Not so much a politician though.

Why is he wasting time and money with his idiotic statements. Does he not have the word "narrow" in his vocabulary? The island is 7 miles wide at its narrowest point!!

Was that so hard?

Was he trying to be funny about the island tipping over? He almost seemed serious, in a completely low IQ fashion.

Amazing what corruption can buy these days: elections.

As one member of congress mentioned to Bill Maher in the movie 'Religulous', "You don't have to take an IQ test to join congress!"

For anyone who hasn't seen the movie, Maher gave him the stunned, 'Did that just happen?' look.

So, I'm not suprised by what some members of congress might say.

What is it a freaking floating air mattress????

There's a real genius.

Don't you get it? He WAS serious.

Now look, I can understand some ignorance in government, but this is just over the top stupid.

I wonder how long it will be before the "race card" defenders will start spewing forth accusations. Well, let me save you the trouble. I don't care whether he was fricken green and red pinstriped, he should not be there.

"Stupid" comes

in all colors.

Make sure that no one tells him about China's plan to defeat the West.

They are all going to jump at once. This will have cataclysmic effects all over the world.

The consequences are too horrific to mention here.

LMAO!
Honestly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. These are the sort of people we elect? I don't expect a US Rep. to be a scientist, but geez, even elementary school kids know that islands don't capsize!

I was just 'floored' when I heard this, I had no idea we had congressmen operating at this level of consciousness, the last dummy I saw in congress was Sonny Bono, he was a trip.

WTF is up with the people of Gergia that they elected this... this... complete MORON!?!? Someone should tell those folks that there is no cure for stupid!

You know what the real kicker is? This guy makes $174,000 a year to sit up there and be stupid. How's that for a kick in the nuts?

You know what just occurred to me - this couldn't, by chance, actually be some Congressional April Fool's on us all, could it? I'm inclined to say no as our government has no sense of humor that I'm aware of.

Low IQ or the ramblings of someone under the influence of er... "herbal medicine"?

Sounded like the latter to me, to be honest.

Guam? Guam's not here, man.

WOW..and he said it all with a straight face, too..

I hope the dems replace this guy or kick him out of the party. Nobody should have somebody like that representing their organization.

Tell him to balance everyone evenly throughout the island, especially along the coasts and at the center, and everyone will be OK. And if it starts to tip right, tell everyone to quickly lean left.

Wow. I guess he was serious. By that logic, the U.S. should have sunk a long time ago since we're the fattest nation on the planet. Damn you, McDonalds!!!

Well I would, except for one slight problem- according to his logic, the sharks are only in the ocean on the right- and as stupid as he may be, he's not the type to wish harm on anyone. Even when they DO lean to the right.




(Note to those that have trouble reading between the lines: He's a Democrat.)

Well, he occupies Cynthia McKinney's former district, so that should tell you much. Sadly, this is my district.

To be fair, he is quite ill with hepatitis and may be roaring on medications. On the other hand, his inner circle seems to recognize him as being a not-too-bright kind of guy and they keep his meetings with constituents tightly controlled.

All I can say is that my district has the unfortunate habit of consistently electing completely idiotc representatives. I need to move.
