No, it is not an April Fools? Day joke. Democrat Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson 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 don?t anticipate that,? responded Adm. Robert Willard. For some reason he did not bust out laughing.

Johnson went on to warn about climate change.

The comments were delivered without a clear hint of sarcasm or irony, however Rep. Johnson is now insisting through a comment issued by a spokesperson that he was simply using a metaphor.
"I was using a metaphor to say that with the addition of 8,000 Marines and their dependents -- an additional 80,000 people during peak construction to the port on the tiny island with a population of 180,000 -- could be a tipping point which would adversely affect the island?s fragile ecosystem and overburden its already overstressed infrastructure."​

"the bunker"
this is why i asked everyone if they had their hep. a/b &c vaccinations before reading the scrotum guy thread(the one that JACK started)....

even though it`s hilarious,i have to cut the dude some slack because he`s not well and he`s probably on multiple mega-medications(eiither that or he just finished touring the coors plant in baghdad and stumbled across some "hops of mass destruction")....

if he has hep c,his liver probably looks like raw hamburger left out in the desert sun for about 3 months....my condolences to the man...

Makes you wonder how much of a dope the guy was who lost in his district?

Can you imagine trying to listen to a campaign speach without falling out of your chair?

Also, I noticed that MSNBC and Olby and his disgusting smirk hasn't had his usual fun with this.

Do you think SNL will Lampoon this "Donkey"? :shrug:

This is both hilarious and sickening. Obviously he wasn't joking. These people are running our country!!!!!!!!! Even funnier that the media hasn't promulgated this to my knowledge.

That dude had to snort a couple of lines before he went on stage. The best part is when the Admiral said we don't anticipate that happening. :142smilie
