Lt. Gen. Russell Honore, the cigar-chomping John Wayne-type guy who came into New Orleans and kicked some rear to get things moving, will be in “Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations” soon. Speaking at a press conference in New Orleans yesterday about the approaching Hurricane Rita he said:
Don’t get stuck on stupid, reporters. We are moving forward. And don’t confuse the people please. You are part of the public message. So help us get the message straight.
Prediction: This quote will resound. It has legs. Already the blogosphere is propagating it, as it should.
