Get that guy a teleprompter. "Gibberish, Gibberish, Gibberish, Gun Show loop hole (really ridiculous gibberish), Gibberish!" I would give a dollar to know what Cooper was thinking while talking to this idiot.

Edit: On second thought don't get that guy a teleprompter we already have a guy like that.

We The People elected that man, and many like him. We have only ourselves to blame.

Even Anderson was stunned.

Good for Anderson Cooper to keep pressing the issue with this guy.

Not only do I dislike the legislator's apologist stance re: F & F, but I also have to wonder how such a dim bulb
of an intellect managed to beat someone else for his seat. He seems to have early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

SIA

Agree. . . I was especially surprised because CNN has barely mentioned F&F since the whole thing came to light.

He kinda reminded me of the giant chicken lawyer from Futurama. Not sure why... I think maybe it was the accent.

Has that guy had a stroke, or Parkinson's Disease or something? There is just something really odd about his manner—words and ideas (or lack thereof) aside......

Its actually Hep C that is his problem.
In December 2009, Johnson revealed that he had been battling Hepatitis C for over a decade, which resulted in slow speech and a tendency to regularly get "lost in thought in the middle of a discussion". Johnson said that he learned he had the disease in 1998 but does not know how he contracted it. The disease has damaged his liver and led to thyroid problems.
This is the same genius who was worried if we put any more Navy personnel on Guam it might "tip the island over".

So, yeah. Take comfort in the fact that this man makes the laws the rest of us are forced to live under. :banghead:

We didn't elect this person. He was elected by the voters in his 'hood who also overwhelmingly voted for the current POTUS. As I've said many times, these peole don't elect themselves.

75% of Hep C cases are contracted by exchange of bodily fluids and/or dirty needles—which is why it is commonly found among the same people who are at risk for HIV AIDS. About 10% of cases are have other etiologies such as trasfusions sourced from unscreened donors, 5% are healthcare workers who get infected by dirty needles and exposure to infected blood, and 10% is from unknown causes. When I worked in a hospital, the Hep C patients I saw were either promiscuously gay, IV drug abusers, or prostitutes.....or all three. I suppose that there are people who contract it by other means, but they would be fewer and farther between.

Politician, prostitute. Same line of work. I can see how they'd wind up finding each other.

First and second oldest profession. Although "management consultant" might be the first, as I think about it.
