I wasn't on the P-T when this happened nearly a decade ago, but did Hank's idiocy get a few threads to fully embrace it?

Did any of the libs/leftists on here defend it? (particularly his lame excuse after the fact)

Did that Admiral Robert F. Willard get a commendation for NOT busting out laughing in front of Congress? (he does crack a smile, but answers the dipshit congressman as if he is not a dumbass)

With the level of dumbassery in the capsize comment overwhelming the whole statement, did anyone notice that the congressman's vocabulary includes improper use of "level" (an island at its widest level is 12 miles), "smallest location" (at its smallest location, its 7 miles) and an apparent unfamiliarity with the term "narrowest" (about 7 miles wide at the least-widest place)?

If Hank Johnson was on the Armed Services Committee during WWII, would he have recommended the Navy attach battleship chains to Guam, and using a couple Carrier Groups, tow Guam towards Okinawa or mainland Japan and release the chains at ramming speed?


will Guam capsize?

Served 15 months on Guam. Still waiting for old Hank to send me my hazard pay, with 19 years interest.

In 2018, Rep. Johnson was elected by his peers to lead the Judiciary Subcommittee – Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet. The subcommittee has jurisdiction over administration of U.S. Courts, federal rules of evidence, civil and appellate procedure, judicial ethics, patent, copyright and trademark law, information technology and the Internet.

The democrats put him in charge of government oversight into that.

I would like to think it demonstrates the nation's sense of humor.

He's been serving as an American lawmaker since 2007. Think about that.

Found this nugget on his Wiki:

quote:

Washingtonian Best & Worst of 2014

On October 5, 2014 The Washingtonian published their 15th biennial "Best & Worst of Congress" list. Rep. Johnson was voted "Worst Speaker" and "Most Clueless" by congressional staffers.


Also, about to run and see if they have a running list of this "Most Clueless" award and see who else of our favorites appears there.
