Ford CEO prevents Bush from blowing himself up

[misterx]

"Credit Ford Motor Co. CEO Alan Mulally with saving the leader of the free world from self-immolation.

Mulally told journalists at the New York auto show that he intervened to prevent President Bush from plugging an electrical cord into the hydrogen tank of Ford's hydrogen-electric plug-in hybrid at the White House last week. Ford wanted to give the Commander-in-Chief an actual demonstration of the innovative vehicle, so the automaker arranged for an electrical outlet to be installed on the South Lawn and ran a charging cord to the hybrid. However, as Mulally followed Bush out to the car, he noticed someone had left the cord lying at the rear of the vehicle, near the fuel tank.

"I just thought, 'Oh my goodness!' So, I started walking faster, and the President walked faster and he got to the cord before I did. I violated all the protocols. I touched the President. I grabbed his arm and I moved him up to the front," Mulally said. "I wanted the president to make sure he plugged into the electricity, not into the hydrogen This is all off the record, right?""

In other news, Ford engineered their hydrogen car so that you can plug an electrical cord into the wrong place and blow yourself up? Good design guys, I'm sure that will go well.

One word -- Cheney.

Plus, of course, massive prison sentences.

I'm in full agreement- but if Cheney had been there too- I wouldn't have wept.

now if his death were an "act of misadventure" would they go to prison? Not too sure- I think they'd have to prove it was a deliberate attempt

And I saw the picture -- Cheney was fairly close to the car. So I'm going to go with self-preservation as a reason. The Ford guy was right next to the Pres. Plus, he's a rich dude, so he's probably a Repugnican.
