Hank Johnson (Congress D-GA) - Warns Guam May Capsize

No, it is not an April Fools Day joke. Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson (Democrat) said during an Armed Services Committee hearing last week that Guam is in danger. My fear that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize, he said in all seriousness.

We dont anticipate that, responded Adm. Robert Willard. For some reason he did not bust out laughing.

Johnson went on to warn about climate change.

Adm. Willard should have responded. "I understand your concern. It's a problem we have considered, and to combat that potential outcome, we are also sending over a unit from our magic division. They will use their spells to appease the sea gods, who will command the fish under his control to hold the island stable until we leave."

A much better response by this military officer would have been a 3 to 5 second pause, and then, "Are you SERIOUS?" At some point, courtesy has to go out the door.

$170,000 with full benefits per year of taxpayer money is being wasted on this guy while millions of qualified Americans are unemployed.

This is a fucking U.S. congressman in our country!!!!! A U.S. CONGRESSMAN!!! Are you f'n kidding me? Of course, a Democrat. Search youtube for others like Mel Watt and Sheila Jackson Lee to experience more genius coming from some members of Congress.

Live from Guam !!! iI's the Hank Johnson Comedy Show, starring the King of Comedy Gold and the Brain Trust of the Democratic Party, Hank Johnson. Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up now for HANK JOHNSON, yea!!!!

Yes, and then to defend ole Hank the lefties will say he was just joking. Somehow I just don't think this is the place for a deadpan joke and he seemed very serious. What would be right would be to have relentlessly hounded him for his stupidity until he resigned. If not that then not vote him in again. Although I think the electorate re-elected him. What does that say about his constituency?

Sad.
