New catchphrase for the 21st Century
Don't get stuck on stupid! That's the new catchphrase coined by Lt. General Russel Honore today during a press conference with New Orleans mayor Nagin.

General Honore stepped forward and set the reporters straight. The Political Teen has the video and Radio Blogger has the transcript and an mp3.
