It’s been all over the WorldWideWeb but fans have told me they have yet to see the video of a U.S. congressman expressing concern to a U.S. admiral during a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee that the island of Guam may “tip over and capsize”.
So, here is one of the many cuts of it on YouTube.
The congressman was Hank Johnson, the Democrat who represents the 4th District of Georgia. The admiral was Robert F. Willard, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, and who, btw, played the MiG pilot in the 1986 movie Top Gun.
The hearing happened March 25. Johnson was the first member of the Georgia congressional delegation to endorse Barack Obama for president.
Some have come to the defense of Johnson saying that the hepatitis C from which he suffers has diminished his mental capability. Joyous. We have someone with a significantly diminished mental capability writing and voting for the laws under which we must live.
And Democrats are OK with that.
Are we surprised?
