    Better then being concerned about Obama being a Muslim.

    Or about God punishing America for homosexuality.

    on a scale of one to ten...this fits squarely on the five given the recent stupidity advanced in politics like death panels and birthers.

    which kinda does say something doesn't it?

    And these are the people who just voted for the biggest power grab in USA history?

    Maybe there is a provision in the ObamaCare boondoggle bill for island anchors or counterweights.......there seems to be a bit of everything else in there.. :eek:

    There really is an amazing amount of stupid in Congress, particularly when ego drives them to pontificate on subjects that they have little knowledge. To their credit, the Republicans do a much better job of organizing and defending stupidity.

    (I would suggest he was talking about the ecosystem of Guam and had a massive fail when he chose the word "capsize" with no other qualifiers. That's not an excuse for his stupidity... and it is certainly a humorous clip.)

    not if you listen to him describe the "long & narrow" geography of the island, which in his mind must resemble a seesaw.

    Dealing with this kind of stupidity must be really difficult for that guy. How to you respond to such a stupid line of questioning? What a moron.

    ... there's not much to debate here, though. Why is this in the D&D forum? Unless you're trying to make some other overarching statement that you're too afraid to actually state, basso?

    I haven't seen the video, no internet at the house, anyway rush actually defended the guy. he said he was getting a bunch of emails about this video, so he played the audio over the air, and he said the guy is really sick, hepatitis, and he says the guy's liver is about to give out and he says some wacky things every once in a while

    it's like watching an ali g. interview.

    I can't believe he's that stupid. He has to be on something.

    Wow, this kind of mental stability is really what I look for in a leader.

    TSU sucks.

    i'll accept he's sick, but if he's that sick, he shouldn't be in office. there's no way he could read, or comprehend, a complex bill like OC, or anything else for that matter. staying in office is a disservice to his constituents.

    He's not saying the Island will "capsize" literally....just that over population will turn it upside down environmentally.

    He's asking what ht square milage of the island is and what the population - clearly he's talking density.

    geez, basso, you are being too literally dumb.
