Were it not for Alan Mulally, Nancy Pelosi might be President of the United States right now
Ford Motor Company arranged a demonstration of their high tech hydrogen-electric hybrid car on the White House lawn for President Bush. The plan was for President Bush to plug in the car, photogs take pictures, everybody's happy. Well, the extension cord was placed by the rear of the car (where the hydrogen tank is) rather than on the side near the outlet. As President Bush approached the extension cord, Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford, had visions of splodey-plums dancing in his head and high-tailed it to physically ensure that President Bush did not put the plug into the hydrogen tank.

Naturally, the blog and news articles on this are a buffet of snark, with the comboxes as dessert wank. Enjoy the potato crisps of Ford blaming, the sandwich board of Left vs. Right, and the thick pungent stew of laments, then cleanse your palate with a delicious fruit salad of non sequiturs.

Expect more wank as more blogs pick up the story.

It would also reflect badly on his company because they'd designed a car that any idiot could blow himself up with in one easy step. And, while Bush and Cheney being blown to smithereens would be a small loss, the next idiot who came along might be more valuable.

Now, be fair -- Dubya isn't just any idiot.

also, hybrid cars may be considered WMDs after that.

I'm fairly certain they're close enough now for government work.

First thing that popped into my head.
