General Nagin -- On Horseback

I know, it's Mardi Gras. And Mayor Nagin is trying to be funny. Probably he believes he is paying tribute to that "John Wayne Dude," Lt. Gen. Russel Honore.

But still, there' something funny about the imagery.

 

And I guess he better learn to ride if he is going to take up residence with the rest of his family in Texas after the elections.

??So, waz's up wit da whitey horse??

Best to be a milk chocolate horse to reflects the propa ethnics!

[Sam Hill]

I think the uniform and beret makes him look like Honore. (Even though he's wearing four stars and Honore is only a three star general.)

Whether it's a tribute, I don't know. Though Nagin has praised Honore--when it suited him.

[bmwcyle]

He can't drive a bus?

[BunnySlippers]

I wonder what Honore thinks. There are idiots everywhere!

[Sam Hill]

I meant to type:

I think he thinks the uniform and beret makes him look like Honore...

Of course that's where any similarities end.

Usually, the horse's a$$ is in the back, not on top.

I have just joined the black panthers to unify our goal of a chocolate New Orleans, and then...THE WORLD. Zig Hial Baby!

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

Is Mayor Chocolate a vet? If not he has no business dressing up and playing soldier whether or not it's a "joke" or not. It is disrespectful to our soldiers fighting to protect this jackass and the Coast Guard & Reserves that rescued the citizens that he left behind.

[BigSkyFreeper]

what a total jerk this guy is!

"Stuck on stupid"  rings a bell....

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

if it was a tribute than honore would have been there. Maybe he was invited - I don't know.

One things for sure, and that is nagin and blanco totally got off the hook.

[TSgt]

I would be banned for life so I'm not going to say it.

[jdm]

Those livestock could have been used to evacuate folks, prior to Katrina.

[You Dirty Rats]

He looks like Qaddafi!

[Cecily]

General Honore is probably thinking, "That dude is the textbook example of being stuck on stupid."

[BunnySlippers]

LOL! I think you're right. How could Nagin be so transparent!

[Godebert]

A disgrace to the uniform. Did this racist jackass even serve one day in the military?

[Obadiah]

...has no business dressing up and playing soldier whether or not it's a "joke" or not. It is disrespectful to our soldiers...

Exactly. This is not funny. An elected official mocking the military uniform. This guy is some piece of work.

[nopardons]

Exactly so!

[ExcursionGuy84]

...nagin and blanco totally got off the hook.

The fact that they did is, in itself, a State & Local Disaster....and, to a lesser degree, Federal Disaster.

[hobblemaster]

He's just a vet of the Chocolate Wars. Look out for Darth Chocolate.
