America loves a winner!


*edit*

Though not an actual April Fool's joke, I offer a retraction, none the less.


Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA)



Hey, I said it was unbelievable, and it is!!

Quote:



I would like to offer a spirited defense of the unjustly-maligned Representative Johnson. First of all, although this is a little-known fact, he and Admiral Willard, the man he is questioning in the video, are old friends. They met in 1986 on the set of the film “Top Gun.” Willard was a consultant and actor in the film (you can look it up), but the telegenic Johnson also played a bit role in the film as one of the other pilots.

Willard and Johnson struck up an acquaintance on the set, finding that they shared a remarkable gift for deadpan humor. They developed a number of routines that had the other “Top Gun” actors and extras in stitches, and were both known for keeping a straight face throughout the silliest exchanges, a skill that served them remarkably well during their recent encounter in Congress.

One of their old routines involved a bit about landing an airplane on the island of Guam. The joke was about how small and narrow the island was, so thin it couldn’t even hold a runway, and so any landing might cause the whole island to tip over. It may not sound so funny in print. But it was Johnson and Willard’s delivery that made it so special.

The exchange you see in the video has been much criticized. But it has actually been widely misunderstood. That portion of the question-and-answer merely represents an updating of their old routine, with both Johnson and Willard playing their familiar roles. Note how deftly Johnson sets Willard up with classic comic timing, drawing it all out with lengthy emphasis on just how tiny the island is. Then, after Johnson expresses his concern that Guam just might tip over and capsize (this time because of added people, rather than an airplane), Willard responds with perfect composure and the straightest of faces, “We don’t anticipate that.”

Some have wrongly suspected the two of staging an April Fools’ prank. But that cannot be true, since it happened last Friday, well in advance of that date. No, it was just a bit of welcome levity from two old buddies, designed to lend a certain amount of lightness to these heavy and troubled times. How sad that such well-intentioned efforts have been so universally misconstrued



I'm going w/ the above info being factual, and the two really were doing their own 'bit'. No one really COULD be that stupid, but for the previous holder of that Congressional seat, ..... who knows.

But the point remains.....

If the Congressman has any REAL concerns on the issue of adding 5,000 more troops on station in Guam, he does his cause, himself and his constituents no good by engaging in this game of footsie, in the formal setting of a Congressional hearing.

If it really is a just one big f-ing joke, then why even bother at all ?

Show them. Don't merely pass this off as just another " they both do it " load of crap. He didn't misspeak. He didn't MISPRONOUNCIATE any words. He said what he said.

Comment on THAT, first, before you go running off to the " But Bush..... ".

And I have no fraking clue what you're talking about, " on the main page ". Hadn't seen anything yet, but you address THIS, if ya can. Don't run away ( as so often is the case w/ you ) by interjecting irrelevant and meaningless side issues.
*edit* There IS no " riverrappy beat down on " the main page ", so I really do question your sanity. RWED posts aren't even listed on the main page, moron.

Now, back to THIS thread, or kindly stfu.

But Rue, do you have VIDEO of Rappy being "not River"? Because if you don't have it on video, it never happened, it seems.

I've been waiting DAYS for Rappy to show us all the video of Eric Cantor's life being threatened. I'm starting to believe it never happened, and that the right is making it all up!

I bet if it were a black guy threatening Cantor's life, Rappy would have all sorts of hateful video to post.

Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA)



Hey, I said it was unbelievable, and it is!!

Quote:



I would like to offer a spirited defense of the unjustly-maligned Representative Johnson. First of all, although this is a little-known fact, he and Admiral Willard, the man he is questioning in the video, are old friends. They met in 1986 on the set of the film “Top Gun.” Willard was a consultant and actor in the film (you can look it up), but the telegenic Johnson also played a bit role in the film as one of the other pilots.

Willard and Johnson struck up an acquaintance on the set, finding that they shared a remarkable gift for deadpan humor. They developed a number of routines that had the other “Top Gun” actors and extras in stitches, and were both known for keeping a straight face throughout the silliest exchanges, a skill that served them remarkably well during their recent encounter in Congress.

One of their old routines involved a bit about landing an airplane on the island of Guam. The joke was about how small and narrow the island was, so thin it couldn’t even hold a runway, and so any landing might cause the whole island to tip over. It may not sound so funny in print. But it was Johnson and Willard’s delivery that made it so special.

The exchange you see in the video has been much criticized. But it has actually been widely misunderstood. That portion of the question-and-answer merely represents an updating of their old routine, with both Johnson and Willard playing their familiar roles. Note how deftly Johnson sets Willard up with classic comic timing, drawing it all out with lengthy emphasis on just how tiny the island is. Then, after Johnson expresses his concern that Guam just might tip over and capsize (this time because of added people, rather than an airplane), Willard responds with perfect composure and the straightest of faces, “We don’t anticipate that.”

Some have wrongly suspected the two of staging an April Fools’ prank. But that cannot be true, since it happened last Friday, well in advance of that date. No, it was just a bit of welcome levity from two old buddies, designed to lend a certain amount of lightness to these heavy and troubled times. How sad that such well-intentioned efforts have been so universally misconstrued



I'm going w/ the above info being factual, and the two really were doing their own 'bit'. No one really COULD be that stupid, but for the previous holder of that Congressional seat, ..... who knows.

Bones: "Don't 'rawr' her!"

Might wanna retract all your other ugly comments about the man while you're at it.

What, just creating useless posts to bump your RiverRappy beatdown off the main page?




Show them. Don't merely pass this off as just another " they both do it " load of crap. He didn't misspeak. He didn't MISPRONOUNCIATE any words. He said what he said.

Comment on THAT, first, before you go running off to the " But Bush..... ".

And I have no fraking clue what you're talking about, " on the main page ". Hadn't seen anything yet, but you address THIS, if ya can. Don't run away ( as so often is the case w/ you ) by interjecting irrelevant and meaningless side issues.
*edit* There IS no " riverrappy beat down on " the main page ", so I really do question your sanity. RWED posts aren't even listed on the main page, moron.

Now, back to THIS thread, or kindly stfu.

You want a comment on this - it was a dumb thing to say. But so fucking what?

As for the rest. Suuuuuure you don't know. We all TOTALLY believe you.

We're laughing our asses off in total belief.

I didn't initially think River was Rappy until today, when "River" started whining about how I always go after his posts - even though I've never gotten into it with Riverlove before. Rappy is my usual target,. and gave himself away by whining about it.

Sure does say a lot about me. I owned up to it, unlike the punks on th Left, who still think they can lie about being called 'nigger' , with 1000's of people around and 100's of cameras around to record it, yet not 1 damn moment of any of it caught on video.

And it says something about the state of the modern Democratic party, which would produce such miserable pieces of shit, from Al Franken, Sheila Jackson Lee, John Dingell, Joe Biden.... ( the list goes on and on ) saying the most absurd, ridiculous things, that MOST in the MSM would have thought Johnson was being serious.

The Left have said plenty of things on par or even nuttier, so I've got an easy out on this one.

You're so deranged. I'm actually beginning to pity you.

As for all those on the left who have said things "on par or even nuttier" - well, to quote you:

Sure says a lot about Cantor, too, I guess - after all, you STILL haven't posted any video of that alleged death threat that his office made up, after also making up stories about people "shooting at" his office. Seems if the video was up on YouTube (as you and several others claimed), it would still be out there somewhere - yet you've run away every time I've brought it up, for days now. Why is that?

Well, it says more about you, really, that you'd automatically assume someone could be that dumb merely because he's black.

That's you - always looking for the easy out!

Hell, BUSH has said and done plenty of things nuttier than this ("Mission Accomplished" springs to mind...); I guess every Democrat has an easy out since he was such a buffoon. Hard to top his idiocy (but you ARE trying, I'll admit).

‘He Betrayed Us! He Played on our Fears!’ — Al Gore






I can do this all day. But what separates me from you is that my examples are on matters of policy, and the abject nuttiness that the Left continues to show, where as your childish examples are just comments either after the fact, or taken out of context, or flat out mis statements.

Much like Obama and his " 57 states " remark. WOW ! What a fucking dumb ass! He think's there are 57 states !!

But I won't stoop to your level. Don't need to.

It's mind numbingly tragic at just how racist you morons are, and yet don't even realize it.

It's like watching a gang of pre-teens yammer on at how stupid everyone else in the world is, while they alone possess seemingly endless levels of wisdom and intellect.
