Say It Ain't So; Please God, Say it Ain't So


U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson (D) recently worried that the island of Guam might be in danger of tipping over and capsizing. This according to a videotaped congressional hearing that is getting plenty of play online and over the airwaves.

Johnson's comments came during a House Armed Services Committee meeting as he questioned Adm. Robert Willard, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, about the impact of U.S. troops on the little island.

"My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," Johnson said, straight-faced and seemingly serious.

As you can see by watching this Rep. Johnson appears as a "knowledgeable" speaker. Somewhat like the President off his teleprompter.

He however, did vote for Obama health care; I guess he could understand an incomplete and unpublished bill better than he could visualize an island.
