This is the guy who replaced Cynthia McKinney. If Tracy Morgan ever wants to run for Congress, he knows which District to go to.

IrishWhiskey - 2010-04-01 She served six terms, and famously hit a Capitol Hill officer who didn't recognize her and asked for credentials.
I assumed at first he was just using it as an expression or joke, and I still don't think that's ruled out. But it sure sounds dumb.

Hooper_X - 2010-04-01 The joke in Atlanta was that Hank ran on an ABC platform. Anybody But Cynthia.
And he won.
Fuckin' Cynthia, dude.

IrishWhiskey - 2010-04-01 Like I figured:
�I wasn�t suggesting that the island of Guam would literally tip over,� said Johnson. �I was using a metaphor to say that with the addition of 8,000 Marines and their dependents � an additional 80,000 people during peak construction to the port on the tiny island with a population of 180,000 � could be a tipping point which would adversely affect the island�s fragile ecosystem and over burden its already overstressed infrastructure.
�Having traveled to Guam last year, I saw firsthand how this beautiful � but vulnerable island � is already overburdened, and I was simply voicing my concerns that the addition of that many people could tip the delicate balance and do harm to Guam.�
Doesn't change the fact that its a funny gaffe though.

Is this an April Fool's thing with a dubbed voice or did he really just say that?

I recommend everyone watch this in textmode, it makes it easier to tolerate.

Democracy in action, folks.
Also, I think this guy is pretty ill and has hep C (though it seems like he should resign if his mental state has deteriorated to this... assuming he isn't always like that).

"We don't anticipate that?"
That's a nice way of saying "No" AND covering yourself if Guam DOES happen to capsize.

Feeling dumb for submitting this now it's become a crypto-racist right-wing talking point.
