Here's more fodder for the assertion:
Ginormous kudos to the military man who answers the Congressman with dignity and class.

Well obviously he's wrong. If we deploy 8000 additional Sailors and Marines to Guam, they'll have ships to go with them. The ships will provide additional sea-lift support to the island, preventing it from tipping over. Just like an outrigger canoe. The physics is not difficult.
But if it still proves to be a problem, I'm sure the government can simply mandate that people duck-walk, to lower the center of gravity of the island.

Single biggest reason I avoid Guam!
Obviously a Congressman would have the latest information at his fingertips...and if he says the island could tip over then dammit we gotta believe him!
p.s. I like Eric's ideas above to mitigate the tipping problem! We could also put loudspeakers around the island to alert people as to when they needed to move from one location to another to keep the island on an even keel!

Not surprising that Nancy keeps him around. Probably has someone on staff to constantly tell him how to vote.
Have the same thing in Kalifornia. An elderly lib in the legislature who's showing signs of Alzheimer's Disease. But they keep her around. She's a "reliable" vote. A week ago the local station was playing a clip of her latest outburst at a committee hearing. Started screaming at her staff because they couldn't keep her water glass full.

Actually, and completely outside of the spirit of the day, the story behind this guy is actually even more pathetic than that, John Charles.
As noted above, he's from the district that used to be "represented" by the cop-bopper, Cynthia McKinney. McKinney was defeated in the Dem primary for that seat years ago, with the help of the four or five Republicans living in DeKalb County, and replaced by Denise Majette, who stupidly ran for the U.S. Senate the following election year -- leaving an opening for McKinney to reclaim the seat just in time to start assaulting U.S. Capitol Police officers at the security checkpoint.
In 2008, again with the help of the three or four Republicans in DeKalb County (one defected by hiding in the undercarriage of a MARTA train and escaped to Cobb County), Hank Johnson defeated McKinney for nomination, and the rest is history.
If Johnson gets bad enough press McKinney may defeat him in this summer's primary and end up holding that seat in 2011-12, whereupon the two or three DeKalb Republicans still around by then will probably put up some street derelict against her.
And the derelict will still be an improvement.

I'm willing to believe it was a joke -- I've read defenses of Johnson's comment that make that claim. But to call it an April Fool's joke when it happened on March 31 is simply not credible. Everyone knows April Fool's jokes only happen on November 4, 2008.

You have to give his staff credit for trying to explain it away. However, listen closely and it is clear that after the "capsizing" fear is expressed, he goes on to say "... and also ..." the environmental concerns, so they were a separate issue in his mind as he spoke.
Even crows can count to two, though.
