I heard the cussing and the Southern accent, and I thought it was Nagin. Was very surprised to see an Army uniform on the person so "agitated".

[ladyinred]

I think I am in love! :-) In other words, the media are liars and causing more harm to victims because of it by scaring off would be rescue workers and volunteers.

Why the hell are you trying to make that the issue, if you can help, get there and help," he said, saying that people were being scared away by reports of violence.

My thoughts all along. If the press can get into New Orleans, with trucks, cars, taxis, whatever, WITH their camera crews, why in the h*ll aren't they taking in food and water instead of telling everyone how bad it is?

I know it's a rhetorical question, but one that needs to be answered, or at least, asked.

From the comments on the Federal Review site:

Wow, what a great story - except that he WASN'T TALKING ABOUT THE PRESS. Read the article... oh heck, here:

The comments that sparked Honore's verbal blast were apparently made by US Representative Bobby Jindal, who represents a New Orleans district.

"The bureaucracy needs to do more than one thing at a time. It's appropriate to save people with helicopters, but it can't be done to the exclusion of everything else," Jindal was quoted by Time magazine as saying.

Honore did not discount that Jindal may be basing his complaints on "isolated" incidents, and said he would follow up with him.

Meanwhile, the (only recently turned) Democratic Mayor of NO has been full of praise for Honore since the day he hopped off the plane:

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin dubbed Honore 'one John Wayne dude' in admiration for his efforts when he showed up in the city last week.

"He came off the doggone chopper, and he started cussing and people started moving," Nagin said in a radio interview on Thursday.

I heard and saw him this afternoon.... He was amazing. No PC stuff for this guy! *chuckle*

[Fiddle E. Dee]

Way to go General! I say this on FOX, I bet it was not shown anywhere else.

[faithincowboys]

Love Honore, Hate the Media..

Pretty much says it all.

[sydbas]

A star is born.

I caught part of what Honore said. Right on, two thumbs up, cheers and good for him. There ought to be more like him and then the country wouldn't be in the mess its in.

The Southern Louisiana Evacuation Plan specifically stated that people without private transportation were to be transported on public buses. Here is the original post of the plan

There were not just "200 buses". There were 200 buses in just one photo and Freepers studying the post-Katrina satellite images have counted over 400 buses altogether at other city parking.

At 70 people per bus that is 28,000 people per round trip that could have been taken out of the storm surge area in the 48 hours prior the Katrina striking.

After the storm hit, what makes you think that buses sent from outside of New Orleans could drive through the flooded mess any better than the 145 New Orleans city buses that were parked 1.2 miles away from the Superdome?

Was Scotty supposed to beam the outside buses to the Superdome and them beam them back out so that they would not have to drive through impassable roads?

The time to evacuate those 200,000 low-income people on public buses OUT OF THE STORM SURGE ZONE was BEFORE the Category 4 storm struck.

That was what the Southern Louisiana Evacuation Plan for New Orleans specifically called for.

The Democrat Governor and the Democrat Mayor did NOTHING to carry out that portion of the plan. They left 200,000 low-income resident abandoned and they now blame the Federal Government for not having Scotty beam down a massive logistics effort after a human disaster of their own making.

Give 'em Hell, Russel!!!

[Paraclete]

Did you all catch how the news conference ended? Chertoff was making some final remarks and the General said, "I'm leaving."

Chertoff then says something like: we're going with the General. Gotta love this guy. He's what you need in this situation: some serious nads.

[RoseofTexas]

WHY o WHY didn't W drop him off a the super dome at the beginning...He would've whipped that place into shape!! QUICKO!

[kms61]

A Creole, rather than a Cajun. Two very distinct cultures.

[IrishRainy]

Yeah, I'm sorry, but he's got Arizona State like at #50-something. Obviously, football's not his forte.

BTW, the PTB finally made up their mind regarding this week's game with LSU -- it's gonna be in Tempe, and I've got season tickets on the 40-yard line. GO DEVILS!

[EmilyGeiger]

I loved that footage last night on Brit's show. :) Wish more people would be plain spoken with the media.

Ted Koppel's grilling of Michael Brown of FEMA last night reached a new low TV broadcasting when Ted said something to the effect of, "How could you not know what was happening at the Super Dome? Don't you watch television?"

My response to Ted would have been, " I sure do Ted. I saw television crew after television crew, day after day, make there way to the Super Dome to report on the people's plight. But, you know what Ted, I didn't see a single TV person, or anyone with them bring in any supplies. I didn't see a single TV person do anything about the suffering.

I didn't see a single TV person offer one person a drink of water. Why is that Ted? Don't they watch television? Didn't they know they were heading into an area that needed water and food? It seems that television reporting people have no sense of community. How else could you explain standing by and reporting on a problem without attempting to help?"

The media from day one has politicized this tragedy with George W. Bush as their fall guy. They desperately need to divert attention away from the corrupt political machinery that runs Louisiana and the Democrat party in general.

That is one awesome man, video, and testimony.

One serious, rational, much-needed whuppin'.

Thank you so much for sharing this.
