Guam is in danger

[Buck]

1. I didn't live on Guam for 15 years. 3 years. I'm drunk.
B. Guam is on top of a tectonic-plate McGangbang .

That might be the single stupidest thing ever said by a Congressman, and that is saying a lot.

Does this man - or anyone else there - know ANYTHING about Guam?

Is it part of the Federated States of Micronesia?

No, Guam and the northern Marianas are distinct.

Guam = Where America's day begins ... by tipping over.

Didn't I hear that it was some sort of April Fool's joke gone way, way bad or was that just cover?

Good, you can be the next ambassador.

Hank Johnson might be able to correct me on this one. But wouldn't that kind of be like being the ambassador to Montana? Guam is a U.S. territory.

Dare I ask what moron-infused corner of our country elected this guy?

Georgia's 4th. He was the guy who took out Cynthia McKinney.

He also revealed this week that he has hepatitis C. He's had it for 10 or 11 years, thereabouts, and he's been married for 20. But he hasn't slept with anyone else or used intravenous drugs or had a blood transfusion or done anything that would put him at risk for hepatitis C. Which is totally, you know, believable.

It's obvious that the guy meant to say that there will be an ecological problem. He got his thoughts twisted and it came out wrong. His follow-up question was his best question.
He made a mistake. Many people laughed. He won't be re-elected.

The hearing was March 25 but not reported on until April 1, so unfortunately, no. I think early written reports were reporting it as a joke (Guam tipping over? C'mon) but the audio is stunning.

The erstwhile "Cutest little Communist in Congress". I'd say HJ is fairly representative of his district, which isn't known for having a lot of sense.

Unfortunately, the aid forgot to explain that Guam was an island, not a big boat.

So now we know the Internet is not a truck, and Guam is not a big boat. Thanks, Congress!
