Hello? Anyone Home?
[Updated 12/15/2012]
All of our poster children so far have been in office for decades but we had to make an exception for this guy. For Hank Johnson (4th-GA) four terms are plenty. You have to see this to believe it: http://tinyurl.com/bmpfanp
You can’t make this up Even after this video went viral he was reelected without opposition in 2010 and again in 2012. (See comments for a funnier version of this YouTube video.)
The latest from this strange duck was commented on by The Daily Callers’ Caroline May:
“Georgia Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson — notable for saying he feared that Guam might capsize if it became too populated during a 2010 House Armed Services Committee hearing — apologized Thursday in a rambling floor speech for using the ‘m-word.’ According to Johnson, the ‘m-word,’ which he will never say again (though accidentally slipped in the middle of his apology), is ‘midget.’ ‘Last night I used an analogy that some find offensive, and I certainly was not meaning to be offensive or use a derogatory term,’ he said.” You’ve got to see this one, too. http://tinyurl.com/d2u32wb
He’s a lawyer, a former assistant judge and a practicing Buddhist.
He votes the party line without deviation. Heritage Action gives him 12% on the conservative scale which is 88% on th liberal scale —Big Spender by any scale.
In 2009, Johnson demanded censure of Rep. Joe Wilson’s “you lie” remark, arguing that the comment had an “unseen racial undertone” and that, if Wilson was not formally rebuked, “We will have people with white hoods running through the countryside again.” (Wikipedia)
This will be our shortest tenured and shortest poster child write-up. What else could we say for term limits than pointing out that he will likely be in congress as long as he lives given the gerrymandered district and advantages of incumbency? Unless we can get Sen. DeMint’s proposed constitutional amendment to term limit congress passed. Please help by going to www.termlimits.org and add your name to the petition for term limits on congress. Thank you.
Dem Congressman Compares Jewish Settlers in Israel to Termites
Perhaps he's concerned that too many Jewish settlers will cause Israel to tip over.

Here’s an update on this Poster Child who is arguably the dumbest person in the U.S. Congress. I know he has a lot of competition for that title but read this and tell me if you agree he is a highly qualified example of the necessity for our term limits amendment.
