Rep. Hank Johnson, a Georgia Democrat, asked a bizarre question about the island of Guam possibly tipping over on Thursday. The 55-year-old congressman said, "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize." For emphasis, Johnson leaned to his left and added hand motions suggesting a large vessel tipping into the sea. Admiral Robert Willard, the head of U.S. Pacific Command who was testifying, paused briefly and offered a deadpan response: "We don't anticipate that. The Guam population, I think, currently about 175,000 and, again, with 8,000 Marines and their families, it's an addition of about 25,000 more into the population."
These are the type of people who are supposed to be representing us? God help us!
