Certainly he can say, "Sir, Guam isn't a floating island and therefore there's no way in which it can 'tip over," but does that really help anything? I figure the admiral was just being polite since he knows he's talking to some with impaired cognition.

The admiral could've simply asked "Sir, are you seriously suggesting that an island founded on solid rock extending to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean might flip over from a few added people? Surely, you jest." Meanwhile, the Congressman, in an elegant statement using words he just remembered, says he was joking: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20001567-503544.html His home page is Orwellian: http://hankjohnson.house.gov/about/about.shtml He's for fairness, reform, change, unicorns, and rainbows. Health care coercion too. Yep. -- Cheers, James Arthur

I expect that saying that would have resulted in a confused look. >Meanwhile, the Congressman, in an elegant statement using words he >just remembered, says he was joking: > http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20001567-503544.html If it really was a joke, it didn't work very well. I still believe the guy was just confused and not able to properly express his thoughts. > He's for fairness, reform, change, unicorns, and rainbows. Health > care coercion too. Yep. Well, he *is* a democrat... :-) |
