Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., was questioning Admiral Robert Willard about the Navy's plans to relocate 8,000 personnel and their families to Guam. After noting at some length that the island is narrow, Johnson says "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated it will tip over and capsize." And yes, there's video -- the comment comes around the 1:15 mark:

Why not? That other guy in the video didn't even know the dimensions of the island, it's obvious he did not check out the possibility. Such irresponsibility in government.

Exactly. Hank Johnson is the only person looking out for the Guamese. He's a good man.

Every day this isn't addressed is one day closer to capsizing.

Make sure it's the electric/taser kind, I hear they work well when submerged in saline water...

You sir, are a gentleman, AND a scholar. I will take your advice under advisement in preparing my philanthropical donations.
