Ford executive prevents President Bush from blowing himself up

Detroit News      April 7, 2007

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!'


   Ford President Alan Mulally, right, had to be quick on his feet to make sure
   President Bush plugged a power cord into the right socket on a Ford
   hydrogen-electric plug-in hybrid.
 
   
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?"

Commentary by Helen & Harry Highwater:

Why is the recurring and phenomenal stupidity of America's President mentioned in the media only in articles like this -- for chuckles, in the implied context of comedy?

Seems to me, the staggering intellectual absence of President Bush is newsworthy, and ought to merit mention in the serious coverage of the ordinary day-to-day catastrophes he's created.
