  1. The Island will tip over????
    Is this guy serious? He must think Islands are just big mud and rock boats that float and can capsize. Is that what I just heard?
    If so, this guy must be a graduate of the United Negro College of America. The same place Obama got his economics degree.
    Good Lord!
    If he is correct, why not just tow Guam to the mainland and attach it?

  4. I loved the Admiral’s deadpan reply: “We don’t anticipate that.” Understatement of the century.

  6. I think this guy skimmed “The Tipping Point” while stoned to the bejeezus.

  7. C’mon, all good Gorists know that nature is reaching its tipping point.

  8. The tipping over is at least as important as the global warming, I think. Jeeze, maybe we should evacuate Manhattan Island in case IT tips over!
    D’ya think I could sell this guy the Brooklyn bridge? I can get it wholesale buddy!

  9. “The Tipping Point”?
    Is that a personal sex manual for Al Gore that I just haven’t heard of yet?

  10. This guy obviously has a mental illness. That is both sad and unfortunate.
    But still, it’s no excuse for him not to have been removed from his situation so he can “get better”.

  13. This guy obviously has a mental illness.
    He was diagnosed with hepatitis-C about a decade ago; it seems quite possible that the affliction is affecting his ability to think.
    At that, he’s an improvement over his predecessor, Cynthia McKinney.

  16. Another up and coming president for the Sierra Club or Pembina Institute or WWF this unfortunate rastafarian acting fellow. You know the Sierra Club, the idiots that screamed about Globall Warming for years and are now the rocket scientists screaming here in Alberta that the Grizzly is threatened, while we have 13 of them around our ridge, what idiots!

  18. That’s gotta be an April fools thing. Tip over Guam?!?! And the marked inability to come up with “wide” when describing the smallest distance from shore to shore??

  20. The really sad thing about what this gentleman is saying is that he is serious. I’d love to know what the admiral was thinking just then……

  23. Silicon Valley Jim is right. The guy is really sick with Hep C and everybody else accommodates him the best they can.
    Personally, however, I’d bust my gut laughing.

  25. I agree with him if all the Guamses(Guamites, Guamonians?) stand at one end of the island.
    There’s some hefty honkers in that palce.

  27. Wow. That was absolutely priceless.
    Once global warming is put to rest we can finally focus all our attention on overpopulation of archipelagos leading to capsizings. If only we could “prove” it’s caused by too many people standing on the “left” side of the island.

  28. Now if we could just find a way to build and populate the underside of the island we wouldn’t have to worry about it tipping over,like a reversible jacket.

  29. Safety: That would be the ‘Tipper Force’. Don’t let them catch you listening to any Black Sabbath, eh. 😉

  31. The below is from CBS News, it gives context:
    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20001567-503544.html
    Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is raising some eyebrows with a comment he made about the U.S. territory of Guam during a House Armed Services Committee hearing last Thursday.
    In a discussion regarding a planned military buildup on the Pacific island, Johnson expressed some concerns about the plans to Adm. Robert Willard, head of the U.S. Pacific fleet.
    “My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,” Johnson said. Willard paused and replied, “We don’t anticipate that.”
    Online pundits have wasted no time lampooning the congressman for his remarks.
    “Presumably, when you’re the head guy of a major fleet for a big-time navy, you’ve got plenty of other ways of filling your time other than reassuring congressmen on whether miscellaneous land masses are likely to tip over and sink,” Mark Steyn wrote at the National Review Online. “But it’s business as usual in Congress.”
    The blog Left Coast Rebel said, “Call it a new low, a new ‘tipping point’ – even in the halls of Congress, if you will.”
    According to the Hill, a spokesman for Johnson responded to the incident by saying the congressman is concerned the influx of military personnel will overwhelm the island’s infrastructure and ecosystem.
    If Johnson’s remarks were meant figuratively, he had a legitimate point.
    The United States plans to move thousands of Marines and their families, about 8,000 people in all, to the small island of Guam, which has a current population of about 180,000. To prepare for the military buildup, the government is constructing new facilities on the island like an additional Marine base and a new airfield.
    At the peak of construction, Guam’s population would increase by 79,000 people, or about 45 percent, the Washington Post reported. The Environmental Protection Agency has reportedly said the military buildup could trigger island-wide water shortages and overload sewage systems and other public utilities.

  32. First thought was “Hank’s hammered”, but check out the related video clips. He’s chronic. And you wonder how Nancy Pelosi (lily-white, by the way) became Speaker. For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my state, bcause it isn’t Georgia.
    Hear BS; speak BS; CBS.

  33. He is now saying he meant it as a metaphor. After re-watching the clip, I highly doubt that a metaphor was his intent or he would have come up with a more credible one.
    Here’s a list of equally good metaphors:
    The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr. Pepper can.
    His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
    He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

  34. I should have said, he’s either intoxicated, or mentally ill (if he has active Hep C, possible, but doubtful, he has hepatic encephalopathy).
    Whatever it is, do you think you’d let that guy fly the plane you’re in? Drive your kids’ schoolbus?
    But hey, to sit in an active role in government, no problem there, nothing to see, just move along please.

  35. “maybe we should evacuate Manhattan Island in case IT tips over!”
    They must be wery wery careful and evacuate both sides at once.
    I’d be interested to see the static load diagram for Manhatten or Guam.

  38. Mentally Ill?!
    Howsabout dumb and very ill-educated?
    the guy’s a pawn of the dem machine – a placeholder in a gerrymandered district.
    and an indictment of the system.

  39. I’ve heard of cow tipping.
    This guy believes in island tipping…
    I wonder if the Admirals of the Fleet believe that if all their sailors run to one side of the aircraft carrier would result in “carrier tipping”.
    Any of the above beliefs would likely result in ‘career tipping’.

  40. Well, considering he replaced Cynthia McKinney, I really wonder what is in the Georgia waters.
    in a similar vein, it was reported that for a short while the world was out of balance when 33 million Canadians simultaneously jumped up in the air when Syd the Kid scored the winning Olympic goal 😉

  41. @ Texas Canuck:
    ooohhhh, yer onto to sumpin there!
    By George BUSH, that would be ‘earth tipping’!!

  43. Get that guy some munchies.His medical maryjane has obviously come from a bad batch.This just proves once again that leftardism is a mental disease.

  44. LCBennett suggested better metaphors …
    The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr. Pepper can.
    His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
    He was as lame as a duck.
    In the interests of … well, being right all the time, those are nice metaphors, except they’re similies.

  46. Apparently under Hep-C treatment that has some side effects….begs the question as to why Congressmen are allowed to serve while suffering diminished capacity.
    Wait! I see the reason now.
    It is not possible to determine what would constitute diminished capacity in the House when looking at the voting patterns, the various lines of questioning, introduction of legislation and floor speeches by all members over the past 50 years.

  47. Axeman
    Party Pooper…in the interest of deflecting being wrong all the time, I blame google and the linked website.

  48. Well if he believes it’s a big floating wood/sand/rock boat anchored goodness knows how to the ocean floor (roots of the palm trees maybe?) then I guess we don’t have to worry about it being flooded by rising oceans from global warming — it’s just going to float higher. So take that Al Gore! The other little gem was his obvious inability to do simple multiplication. If the island is about 7 miles wide and about 12 miles long then its total land area is about????? Hmmmm, lemeeeee see, how to solve that? Oh yeah, how about 12 x 7 = 84. Yes, that’s it. Eureka! Approximately 84 square miles! Isn’t math just the most amazing thing? Maybe lib/dems should learn some.

  49. I think the Liberals paying homage to Canadians landing in Norway, and our war memorial being located in Vichy France is worse…
