General Honore's NOT Stuck on stupid !!

This is a good interview which shows that most reporters are Rucking Fretarded!!

Don't get stuck on stupid, that has to be without a doubt the coolest thing ever said. (at least for today)

Honore: And Mr. Mayor, let's go back, because I can see right now, we're
setting this up as he said, he said, we said. All right? We are not going to
go, by order of the mayor and the governor, and open the convention center
for people to come in. There are buses there. Is that clear to you? Buses
parked. There are 4,000 troops there. People come, they get on a bus, they
get on a truck, they move on. Is that clear? Is that clear to the public?

Female reporter: Where do they move on...

Honore: That's not your business.

Male reporter: But General, that didn't work the first time...

Honore: Wait a minute. It didn't work the first time. This ain't the first
time. Okay? If...we don't control Rita, you understand? So there are a lot
of pieces of it that's going to be worked out. You got good public servants
working through it. Let's get a little trust here, because you're starting
to act like this is your problem. You are carrying the message, okay? What
we're going to do is have the buses staged. The initial place is at the
convention center. We're not going to announce other places at this time,
until we get a plan set, and we'll let people know where those locations
are, through the government, and through public announcements. Right now, to
handle the number of people that want to leave, we've got the capacity. You
will come to the convention center. There are soldiers there from the 82nd
Airborne, and from the Louisiana National Guard. People will be told to get
on the bus, and we will take care of them. And where they go will be
dependent on the capacity in this state. We've got our communications up.
And we'll tell them where to go. And when they get there, they'll be able to
get a chance, an opportunity to get registered, and so they can let their
families know where they are. But don't start panic here. Okay? We've got a
location. It is in the front of the convention center, and that's where we
will use to migrate people from it, into the system.

Male reporter: General Honore, we were told that Berman Stadium on the west
bank would be another staging area...

Honore: Not to my knowledge. Again, the current place, I just told you one
time, is the convention center. Once we complete the plan with the mayor,
and is approved by the governor, then we'll start that in the next 12-24
hours. And we understand that there's a problem in getting communications
out. That's where we need your help. But let's not confuse the questions
with the answers. Buses at the convention center will move our citizens, for
whom we have sworn that we will support and defend...and we'll move them on.
Let's not get stuck on the last storm. You're asking last storm questions
for people who are concerned about the future storm. 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. And if you don't understand, maybe you'll confuse it to the
people. That's why we like follow-up questions. But right now, it's the
convention center, and move on.

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.
