This comes via The Hill:
The Story:
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is afraid that the U.S. Territory of Guam is going to “tip over and capsize” due to overpopulation.
Johnson expressed his worries during a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the defense budget Thursday.
Addressing Adm. Robert Willard, who commands the Navy’s Pacific Fleet, Johnson made a tippy motion with his hands and said sternly, “My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.”
Willard paused and said: “We don’t anticipate that.”
Poor Willard! I bet he was about bust a gut laughing. 😆 I know I would be! 😀
As for the Representative:
Reached for comment, a spokesman for Johnson said the lawmaker had visited Guam, and his concern was that the influx of military personnel would overwhelm the island’s infrastructure and ecosystem.
Okay I get that. But the island itself tipping over?!??! Whoa Boy! 🙄
Now, I will rightly point out, as AllahPundit did observe, the man does have a bit of a, um, problem? So, I will go easy on him. But it is still very funny. 😛
