Troy Henry IS a stool.
For those who don’t get the five-legged stool reference, this from nola.com:
During Wednesday’s radio debate, the two candidates quibbled over sillier matters: math skills and furniture.
Perry ignited the spat when he charged that “my friend, Mr. Henry” has made “re-engineering City Hall” his top priority over everyone else’s top concern: crime. An angry Henry shot back that he has “five No. 1 issues,” including crime.
Perry responded that Henry’s Web site places his desire to overhaul city government first on the list.
“There are five pillars, it’s a five-legged stool, ” Henry shouted. “If you don’t understand a stool, I’m sorry.”
“Most stools I see are three-legged, not five, ” replied Perry.
“Well, this one is five, ” Henry said before tossing in one last putdown: “You can’t count that high.”

You cannot make this stuff up.
Only in New Orleans ( or DC, or Chicago, etc.).
Corruption and stupidity are something NOLA had no monopoly on, we do however have our own unique style (or lack thereof) when it comes to these things.
Funny, most stools I see are four-legged. But then I hang out in bars.
Mister Henry’s yelling at another candidate on the air, complete with (elementary) school yard insults, is all the indication anyone needs that the guy is major wanker, with a shorter fuse than John Georges, if such a thing is possible.
Who’d a thunk that somebody could make Nagin look better?
Around my house, Troy Henry is known as Nagin Junior.
If the run-off were between Georges and Henry, I’d enthusiastically vote for Georges. Nuff said.
He used the five-legged stool reference again tonight at the forum; it makes my skin crawl every time. He reminds me of little kids who try to have grown-up conversations and subsequently get words and phrases messed up, resulting in pouty faces when the real adults laugh.
Here’s a new one from him, though, that my gutter-mind rather enjoyed: “One word that makes ME unique among the other candidates is ‘exposure”‘.
You’re right, you can’t make this shit up.
“One word that makes ME unique among the other candidates is ‘exposure”. – Troy Henry
I suppose this qualifies one for public office the same way it qualifies Paris Hilton to make records.
FAIL.
Hey, there’s one there!
“Expose yourself to Troy Henry”
I get the joke, but I wonder what he meant by his great pride in being exposed. I don’t know the context. Not sure if I want to know.
Anyway, dude doesn’t seem to be real great with words.
If I could give him one piece of advice, it would be this: Stop flogging the five-legged stool metaphor. It makes you look like a dope.
Well, Henry may have exposed himself as a stool pigeon…but Georges is apparently the dope on a rope…judging from the frat-house prank pic.
UGH!
