Plug it in, fire it up, Mr. President The Detroit News 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?" the story

Mulally should have walked in the other direction and let the idiot blow himself to smithereens.

Lmao, this made me laugh in particular; it just really made him sound childish: You're right, Rick. It seems like he could have just said, "Mr. President, wait a moment." Then explained which plug to use. I mean, really. I see Cheney was right there. Boy, the world sure would have changed if that thing had blown up. Nancy Pelosi would have become president. The Speaker of the House is third in line to be president.
