This could make an interesting race in LA.

(AP) — NEW ORLEANS – The general credited with making order of the chaos in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina says he’s returning to Louisiana.

Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore (on-oh-RAY), was marking the fourth anniversary of Katrina in New Orleans on Saturday. He said his heart is in his home state and he plans to move back in the next couple of months. He said he does not plan to live in New Orleans.

Honore wouldn’t say whether the move was related to any desire to enter politics. He said for now, he wants to continue to focus on working with children and on ensuring that people are prepared for disasters and that federal officials live up to promises made after the storm.

Dang…

” The general who led military relief efforts in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina is denying a report that he may challenge Louisiana Sen. David Vitter in 2010, calling it “speculation and rumors” Sunday.

Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, now a CNN emergency preparedness analyst, said he is moving back to his home state. But “No one’s talking to me about running for Senate,” Honore said. ”

Too bad too, we’re betting he never quite addresses this sort of unresolved rampant vigilantism during the episode either:

Too bad he’s a committed Republican.

This could make an interesting race in LA.
