"My fear is that the island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize."

The whole island of Guam tipping over because of the addition of 8,000 Marines and their families.

What an idiot.

Bill O'Reilly apparently subscribed to the same sort of science as Johnson. I really can't understand why there wasn't an explosive uproar of laughter after Johnson mentioned the island tipping over.

Bill O'Rielly believes that islands actually FLOAT on water? Come now.

The fact and truth of the matter is the Congressman Hank Johnson (Democrat- Georgia) actually was in fear of the island of Guam capsizing with the added Marines and their families. He was reelected shortly after.

Kind of makes you wonder how some people remember to breathe doesn't it? And I'm talking about those that re-elected him in addition to him. Unbelievable.


I would have personally went with the golf ball display at the Gomery Inquiry, but this works too. Kind of like a really, really, really bad Dr Suess isn't it?

Yep, I'm not kidding. The guy's not exactly what I'd call a scientific genius.

Was it Mr. Barnum who said"you will nevergo broke underestimating the intelligence of people"?

Actually H.L. Mencken. The exact quote is:
“No one in this world has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”

.

But I didn't see anything regarding Bill saying that islands float on water. Can you assist me there?

And Bill isn't a politician. This is a Democrat Congressman that has been sent to Washington to represent his district and make decisions for the rest of us.

Rick Perry's "oops I forgot" moment is the clincher for me.

I'm sure Dan Quayle, George W. Bush and Rick Santorum can fight for second place dumbest idiots that ever existed on this planet.
