Don’t Spit In The Wind, Don’t Pull On Superman’s Cape, and Don’t Mess With Gen. Honore
General Russell Honore is one of my heroes. I saw what he did cleaning up Bush’s mess after Katrina. And everything he did during Rita.
When Nancy Pelosi appointed him to investigate what happened at the capitol, I knew he was one of the few people in the world willing to jump into a pile of poop and dig around to find the pony. I have just been given more reason to trust him – Republicans are squealing like stuck pigs.
Why? Oh, you didn’t know Honore is a “dedicated partisan.”
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, tweeted Wednesday: ‘General Honoré is an extreme partisan and should be the LAST person to head up an investigation of what happened at the Capitol on Jan 6th.’
Ron Johnson doesn’t believe there was an insurrection that day because not everybody had a gun.
Yeah, they are scared. It’s Honore.
- Tweeted days after the riot that Hawley ‘should be run out of DC’ and called him a ‘little piece of s***”
- A number of PACs said they would refuse to donate to Hawley after he sought to overturn election results after the riot
- Hawley called Honore’s comments ‘very disturbing’
Disturbing to Hawley maybe. Honore made the statement in response to Professor Lawrence Tribe, head constitutional law professor at Harvard Law, who said Hawley should be removed from the senate.
Honore also suggested that the Sergeant of Arms and the capitol police “may have been complicit.” Well, let’s find out.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
Amen. Any time there is a mess my first thought is “send for Gen. Honore.” My hero too.
1Why either RoJo or Hawley don’t suffer massive nosebleeds vaulting the irony meter is a mystery.

4Honoré will run this to the ground and I think the results will not be pretty, and part of me wonders if the government will allow the whole truth – I’ve gotten pretty gun shy in these last few years.
5I’m guessing Sen. Johnson would get a warmer, fuzzier feeling with some truly unbiased military veteran leading the investigation such as Gen. Michael Flynn.
6How are all you Texans doing? Ms JJ? EJ? Others? Still sounds like things are tough there.
7Go get ‘em, General.
Have been thinking of moving to Texas to be closer to my daughter. A big drawback to me has been the political climate. Very recently have discovered Livingston, and really like the looks of it! Trees are important to me. Finding this site gives me great hope that no only would I not be alone I would be in good company. Thank you.
8Michelle Sanford – Livingston is not far from Houston, about an hour northeast if there’s not traffic. It’s gorgeous, sitting on the edge of the Sam Houston National Forest, but it’s East Texas so that means it’s Pine, Poverty, and Pentecostals. Fortunately, Louie Gohmert won’t be your congressman, but Dr. Bruce Babin (DDS) will be. He’s not much better than Louie but at least he’s smart enough to keep his mouth shut.
9And, Michelle, until there are enough thinking people to change the ignorant politics there, well…you are needed to help with that.
