Gen. Honore was leading recovery efforts in Louisiana during Katrina. He famously told a whole bunch of reporters in a room that they were “stuck on stupid”. It was fabulous. I bet there’s YouTube video — I’ll go check.

My apologies, the storm was Rita, not Katrina.

Not the one who is. The one who said it. He was the First Army commanding general when Katrina happened, and they had him run the joint military task force that went in to help get New Orleans sorted out. He was doing a press conference with Ray Nagin, and one of the reporters asked him about the federal response, and he gently advised her not to get stuck on stupid.
