Mayor Nagin,

Remember that movie "Patton" where in one scene a balky donkey was holding up a convoy trying to cross s bridge... so Patton walked up, shot the donkey in the head, and dumped it over the side? Hmmm. Maybe don't you be messing with John-Wayne dudes.

Maybe don't you be messing with John-Wayne dudes. I think that the idea, and if the Nagin "dude" is smart he'll stay on board with the general. From what we've heard, it sound as if Gen Honore has more that the average allowance of common sense as well as the necessary grit..
