He should get another star! I saw him on CNN and I like this no nonsense guy who seems to have a brain and a heart.

4. One question

He is impressive, and seems to have the confidence of the Mayor. But I need one question answered - we all suspect that the National Guard convoys were delayed... What is Honore's answer? What was his role during the delay?

5. Supposedly he wasn't put on the job until Thursday.

The question, of course, is why the fuck not?

6. He better watch his back.

We can't have the General outdoing Bush's pal "Brownie" now can we.

7. I saw a short clip last night on CNN

Then they were saying that he takes all this extremely personally. You have to wonder what he thinks about looking around him. What if we were in here six days ago?
