I've heard some live on the radio. Sure, the guy asking questions can aim for the dumb looking folks, but it is astounding.

A quick trip to the local Wal Mart can be an eye opening experience.

Ok Representative. Did you mean the ecosystem would be unbalanced or were you joking?

Or did you just make a mistake in the first place and am now trying to cover it up.

When will politicians learn that they are being recorded. If you make a bonehead mistake in speaking, just admit it and have a good laugh.

This "oh I meant the ecosystem... uh.. now I meant I was joking" just makes you look more foolish.

IOW he's saying that he called the CJTC in for hearings in order to make jokes?

yeah, that hearing was not exactly the environment where one would expect some boffo yucks

I wish the Admiral had responded..

Sir, one of the reasons why the Marine Corps has such strict weight standards is expressly to avoid this type of situation. Please rest assured that a disciplined policy of segregation will be emplaced to ensure that half of the marines will always be on opposite sides of the island from each other.

Contingency plans are already in place in case some fat-assed congresscritter visits the island to ensure that some marines will move to maintain the delicate balance of the island.

Still not too late to crucify him in celebration of Easter.
