Obamanationcare, tea party Nazis, and as Homer Simpson would add: Eskimos.

While Hepatitis C does not directly cause cognitive impairment, it does cause cirrhosis of the liver, which can then result in hepatic encephalopathy, manifesting as confusion, altered mental status, or even a coma, due to the build-up of toxins an otherwise healthy liver would be able to filter from the bloodstream.

…the none too bright part he brought on himself, which we’ve learned to understand with the sainted John Lewis, who defined a shark-infested sea of slavery even the Romans, in their best day, couldn’t copy.

The podium was provided by Lady Nan, (who knew?). How goddam cynical? This, not the idiocies of Hank’s rantings, is the true mark of what we are fighting.

Pray for this poor man, and for yourselves for having sport with him.

…can cause a lot of mental confusion and disorientation. I don’t think Mr. Johnson is unintelligent, but it sounds like his control over his thoughts and speech was breaking down a bit in that discussion.

That was what we jokingly said about Guam when I spent time there during the Viet Nam war. We flew B52′s out of Guam to bomb Viet Nam. Also had KC 135′s to refuel the bombers. Had quite a few and they were very “heavy”. Did not notice any tipping while I was there. I think it would be safe to deploy 25K people there assuming the B52′s have left. Please convey this to the representative and tell him there is no need to worry. I will also pray for his recovery from his illness.

was that the US Navy might fall off the edge of the Earth on their way to Guam

Personally, I don’t feel bad for the flak this guy’s gotten: it was his choice to become a CongressCritter, and we should hold them to a higher level, Hepatitis C or no.

It does bring into focus the fact that maybe this guy can’t perform his job and needs to be removed.

However I will say that video was hilarious, and like an watching someone trip walking down the street.

I still think it was just a hyperbolic metaphor, if a not so good one.

He is voting on things that affect my life and my Nation. You wouldn’t let a doctor that said those things treat you, why are some of you willing to let this buffoon screw with your lives?

Every Republican House member ought to demand he be removed from the House.

For the best laugh I’ve had in weeks. Had to dry the tears from my eyes. I’m most impressed with Adm Willard – just how do you keep your composure when someone seriously “floats” something like that at you? Wow.

So here’s your fool.

It wasn’t hyperbole. It was stupidity or possibly drunkenness.

The way he leaned when he asked the question made it clear he was talking about a physical tipping.

“We have addressed that issue by specifying the construction of giant outriggers for the island as part of the base construction budget. We would never want Guam, one of our 57 States, to capsize.”

Of course, the way the Democrats are spending, the whole country is headed for belly up status.

I cannot consume enough Yuengling to deal with this. That is all.

“centers” of “gravity” and ‘bouyancy”" and all that stuff about how to keep things that float from tipping over to get my Master’s License. Maybe they’ll give me some money from “stimulus” funds to apply my skills to keeping Guam from capsizing. I know I can do it!

so he should have just been kind enough to give the Congressman credit for his mileage estimates and then told him the formula for figuring square mileage – you know, the one we learned in grade school.

Or this guy.

That part of my home state will forever send the unqualified to congress.

And, if not, why not?

Let’s stipulate that Rep. Johnson is impaired. OK, then—why won’t some reporter ask Speaker Hoyer or Majority Leader Hoyer whether they think that Rep. Johnson is giving his constituents the representation they deserve.

If the MSM won’t ask that question, then they’re covering for the Dems.

If CNN wants to know WHY its ratings are tanking—well, let’s see what they do with the Rep. Johnson story.

Let’s all watch Late Edition With Wolf Blitzer this weekend. This is CNN’s “Sunday news” show. It’s their version of Meet The Press.

If Late Edition ignores or lowballs this story, recommend we cite that as evidence that the network is indeed biased. Or ( to paraphrase a famous political blogger from the other side), take it as evidence that CNN is trying to “starve the story of oxygen.”

When I read his quote, my first impression (even before his explanation) was that it was metaphorical. That being said, it is possible that his medical condition is contributing.

A quote from the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

“The Lithonia Democrat’s already-thin frame has shed 30 pounds in the past year. His speech is slower than ever, and he regularly gets lost in thought in the middle of a discussion. He is easily fatigued and often impatient and irritable . . . To keep the disease in remission, Johnson is going through an experimental treatment that he said has been the worst part so far. ”

It seems that things have gotten worse recently. As a doctor, I should also tell you that Hepatitis C is not usually the result of sexual contact or IV drug use. In most patients, it is unknown how it was contracted. Blood transfusion, needlesticks and other contacts with blood are considered to be risk factors.

Lay off.

I know it’s hard to believe but if my memory is correct on this and I think it is the last person to come out of the 4th district of Ga. was Cynthia McKinney.
If you are stupid, hate Jews and hopefully black and of course a democrat you’ve got a good chance of being elected as their representative.

votes for Obammycare when Congressman like this are serving well past their mental Expiration Date.

If this were an April Fool’s, I’d laugh, or if it were an SNL skit.

Instead, it’s another fine example of the Emperor walking around in Washington stark raving naked.

What district popped out chads for THIS guy? Who was worse? Was the other candidate a crash test dummy?

Let’s help this ‘Statesman’ shuffle off to a nice sunny place in November where they serve warm milk and cookies and he doesn’t have to fear his shadow or risk being mistaken for a parody of all of Pelosi’s zombies.

Disrespectful of me? If he were someone’s grandfather at my BBQ, yes.

But when he’s an elected official making an income greater than 95% of Americans who are suffering back home waiting for him to make decisions for them – then no. He’s disqualified himself completely for my respect.

In fact, I’d respect his resignation out of respect for those he so poorly represents.

No thinking citizen can consent to be governed by people who are so utterly unaquainted with common sense.

I’ve been reading your site for a while now, just wanted to chime in and say thank you for all you are doing to shine the bright light of sanity on the dark shadows cast from the dimwits occupying the halls of power these days.

one way or another.

“as we can see, Science is hard.”

Such words as “Narrowest” seem to be beyond him. And why is he asking the Admiral for the product of 12 and 24?
I would have to say that this is one member of the ruling elite who did Not go to a private school (and if he did, he should be demanding his money back).

I am laughing through sad tears right now.

for hepatitis-C up close and personal (a close relative of mine went through it), I can say I would NEVER have wanted him making any kind of important decisions – affecting his own life or anyone else’s – while on that stuff. Confused, in pain (nearly constant migraines), irrational, sleepless, out of it…just incapacitated.

I agree – Rep. Johnson should have resigned already.

I would have found pity for this man. 10 years ago, even 5 years ago, maybe even 2 years ago I would have wanted him to find healing. Now, they can all drop dead as far as I am concerned and the faster the better. This guy is an idiot who has sold his soul and our country for kickbacks and “prestige.” He made a fool of himself and this country with that ignorant comment which I am sure will show up on some video depicting how “stupid” americans are.

Maybe the Hep C he has will soon send his worried about tipping islands ass straight to his final desitnation which is full of fire. The dems and no backbone repubs are our enemies, or at least they are my enemies. The sooner they burn in hell the better!

“Do me a favor. Could say senator instead of Ma’am It’s just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it, thank you.” –

I bet you could prop up Guam for a billion or two. His fellow travelers waste trillions. Welcome to Mensa, Hank.

Methinks not. Of course, in my gradeschool days, we would try to run from the left side of the bus to the right side in the theory we could tip it over. I wonder what would happen if the people of Guam meet on one side of the island and ran towards the other side.

It is not civil nor is it cricket to make fun of someone’s unfortunate lot in life. But to dismiss the damage that a man nearly devoid of good judgment is capable of is imprudent. This man helped push ObamaCare(R) over the top and elected Nancy Pelosi Speaker.

…to be so blunt.

ZiiiiiiiNG!!!
