I Am Not Making This Up (But I Wish I was)

This is Georgia Democratic Congressman Hank Johnson. Now occasionally I accuse those in Congress of being well, stupid, because, well, they kind of are.

But apparently Johnson has been reading this blog, because he has gone out of his way to make his fellow Congresspeople look, well, not quite as stupid.

The key bit starts at the 1:28 mark. You see, Rep. Johnson, who talks like he is on drugs, apparently believes that if we put too many Marines on the island of Guam it will tip over.

That's right: it will tip over and capsize. Because it is a small island.

Notice how the Admiral keeps his cool and calmly responds "We don't anticipate that happening."

Me? I would have gone John McEnroe on him.

"YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS! I BELIEVE YOU MIGHT BE BRAIN DEAD, CONGRESSMAN. I HOPE YOU ARE AN ORGAN DONOR. MY GOD MAN, YOU MAKE CARL SPACKLER LOOK LIKE EINSTEIN."



I think the Admiral should be relieved of his command for letting this slide.
