I have a new hero.

In case you didn't hear about it, or hear it, here is your chance. LTG(Lieutenant General) Russell Honore, the three star general leading the military's efforts down on the Gulf Coast, was present at a press conference that Mayor Nagin of New Orleans was having. Mayor Nagin, apparently, lost control of the situation and found himself incapapble of putting out the information that needed to be given to the people of New Orleans. LTG Honore stepped in and took control of the situation. The Free Republic has a transcript of the exchange.

Finally, a national figure has stood up to the press and told them to keep their eye on the ball.



And as for Mayor Nagin .... well, he seems to still be doing what he does best ...
