Trust me.
He has no clue.

lol...wow, sounds like an aid doing spin.
So I guess maybe he doesn't know how long a mile is that he thinks sending a few thousand marines there means they are going to be trampling all over the ecosystem...including the coral reefs?

Ive never heard anyone refer to an island capsizing as a metaphor...and how are the addition of those marines going to affect the coral reef? Oh wait! I get it! Marines? Capsize? uh...never mind

Re: Guam will capsize
Hank Johnson has a comrade in arms in Illinois; a Rep. Phil Hare.
Google it.

I view the clip on Thursday. I thought he either always talks really slow or he was high or drunk. I was driving home on Thursday and listening to a Conservative radio station. When they began to make fun of him, honestly, I was skeptical and even though I didn't check into it further, I wasn't prepared to believe he could be that stupid without being high or drunk.
They said something about him having Hep C and that could make you delirious, but I wasn't sure if they were joking or not.
Has he done other stupid things of this nature? I don't know anything about him.
Here's what he has on his website.

I didn't pay close attention to what he was saying. So, what do you think is wrong with him? Seriously - sick, high, or drunk? The radio host said that they wanted him to take a drug test.

Stupidly ignorant.
There is no cure.
Ignorance isn't bad, but stupidly ignorant is horrible.

If he is that messed up from Hep C then he should not be in office while he is getting treatment or whatever...if indeed it affects your thinking like that
