Move to Guam.

No, no, no, Guam will tip over if too many people go there! At least
the honorable Hank Johnson thinks so.

Yep. He was very concerned about expanding military operations. Guam
might tip over and capsize. Demonstrates how democrats "think".

When he spoke in the hearing, he actually tilted in one direction.

Grasping for words I guess.

You must give the Generals a lot of credit for holding their knee slapping
and gut busting laughter until after the hearing.


What's not to like about a congressman who talks like the greatest
catcher in the history of baseball?

He had a law practice for 25 years and was a magistrate for 10 of those
years. He was elected to congress in 2006. His first bill said street
patrols in Iraq should be turned over to the Iraqis. I'd call him a cut
above Rumsfeld, who expressed indifference to GI requests for armored
HUMVs. He also said units must not be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan
unless certified mission capable, unless the president waived that for a
particular unit, for national security.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution found him pretty sharp. So did his
constituents. Sixty percent were black, but he took 99.9% of the vote
in 2008.

He was diagnosed with Hepatitis C in 1998. He said he didn't know how
he'd contracted it. The virus wasn't even proved to exist until 1989, so
in those days, hospitals weren't good at screening blood or making sure
surgical equipment was safe.

In February of 2010, he completed a successful treatment at Walter Reed,
but the disease had left him underweight and easily confused. That would
explain his inappropriate metaphor the following month. Constituents
still had faith in him. He took 75% of the vote in November. Since
then, he has regained his acuity and gained weight.
