Island in Danger of Tipping Over

March 25, 2010

“My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.” This concern was expressed by Congressman Hank Johnson during a House Armed Services Committee hearing about the U.S. military installation on the island of Guam. Admiral Robert F. Willard replied, “We don’t anticipate that.” In 2014, The Washingtonian published its “Best & Worst of Congress” list in which Johnson was voted “Most Clueless” by congressional staffers.
