Rush is a faux conservative and a slave to the new world order program. He's an ivory tower douchebag and when the rubber hits the road, he's happy to let the rubber run off the road. No news there.

On his website I think it says he was speaking metaphorically. I call bullshit since he went into detail regarding length/width of the island and then used hand gestures to show it tipping over.

Uhuh, so did Hank get guy who fed him through a plastic tube to write that on the site, or did he ask the nurse that changed his diaper to do it?

Re: Americas Best and Brightest at work in Congress..

Dr. Doolittle visited a floating island named Spidermonkey Island. It normally drifted in warm climates, but was getting uncomfortably close to the Antarctic. Doolittle asked some dolphins to find some helpful whales who were kind enough to push the island back to warmer weather.

After their close call with the South Pole, the island residents decided it was best to stay in one place. They anchored the island and renamed it Guam.

I do so love the way the radical right hates everyone who doesn't kowtow to everything they believe. I did not realize that Rush didn't , however.

False. I do not hate those who disagree with me or do not accept what I believe. I do not hate Obama, I disagree with his policies and tactics. For me to hate the man I would need to know him personally and would need to find something in his character that I find hateful. I don't hate you. I disagree with you and your tactics of mischaracterizing and demonizing those who do not kowtow to everything you believe.

Since you never listen to Rush with any regularity any "idea" or "beliefs" you have about Rush are based on hearsay.

You are saying that you didn't realize that Rush doesn't kowtow to everything that the radical right believes? I thought you types who like to start sentences with "I do so love..." thought that the radical right got their their talking points from Limbaugh. Make up your mind!

Re: Americas Best and Brightest at work in Congress..

Another post of the video.

YouTube - Rep. Hank Johnson Fears Guam May Capsize

Ok the guy is on medication, if that explains his speech and his statement that Guam with capsize, he does not need to be in Congress till he is off of the meds.

"This is a ... uh ... island ..."

No, Congressman. It's a plank of wood covered with dirt and there is a risk that it will capsize.
