9/14 The gloriously badass Lt. General Russel Honore rolled into New Orleans to oversee military operations a couple of weeks ago, and he was asked why the response took so long. "This is a disaster," he said. "This isn't something somebody can control. We ain't stuck on stupid."
9/20 In similar badass-mode, Gen. Honore Honore told a reporter today:
Male reporter: General, a little bit more about why that's happening this time, though, and did not have that last time...Honore: You are stuck on stupid. I'm not going to answer that question. We are going to deal with Rita. This is public information that people are depending on the government to put out. This is the way we've got to do it. So please. I apologize to you, but let's talk about the future. Rita is happening. And right now, we need to get good, clean information out to the people that they can use. And we can have a conversation on the side about the past, in a couple of months.
Ah, I can see it now. T-shirts, bumper stickers, even a few camouflaged-colored wristbands with SOS etched into them. This is so perfectly American - find a tagline and don’t let go. You know whom I think is stuck on stupid . . . ?
