Too bad that Brown didn't have something like this in him.

In Blanco, LA --including the poor blacks in NOLAS--got a leader of their choosing. Don't think that Jindal would have made the same mistakes.

And a vice-admiral of the Coast guard is not runing the FEMA operation. Quality counts.

I love that guy. He was being interviewed on 60 minutes and looked like he wanted to plant his boot up the commie reporters ass for asking such loaded, biased questions.
He wasn't taking any $hit from him. Make him Governor of LA.

I'm sure the liberals hate the fact that Gen Honore is black. Kinda blows holes in their belief that black people can't succeed without their help.

"a SurveyUSA poll.... General Honoré as the most effective leader of the relief operation,
ahead of Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco !,
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin !!
and, at the bottom of the list, Michael Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) "

We need more doers like General Honore'. And less bloodless, spineless administrators like Nagin, Blanco and Brown.

There's no doubt about it. When General Honore shows up, everybody knows who is in charge.

At a recent staff meeting here at Camp Shelby, he growled, "We're not stuck on stupid." It became the saying of the day, written on a bulletin board.

We should turn that into the new motto of the Democrat party:

'Stuck on Stupid'

I believe he is Cajun.

Not quite, though he was known as *The Ragin' Cajun* by his troops when he was the commander of the 2nd Infantry Division in Korea.

He's Creole.
