just a snip here: * definitely doesn't know his a$$ from his elbow.

Plug it in, fire it up, Mr. President



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.

1. Damn you...

Alan Mulally...should have let him plug it in without warning...shucks!...

2. actually I don't understand the plug-in thingy on a hydrogen tank

and how does a hydrogen tank without oxygen mixed in blow up anyway. Not directing this toward you just pointing out the lies of it all

the author of the original story needs educating, methinks

7. It doesn't.

Never mind that hydrogen is stored under high pressure and not in tanks that can be opened directly by hand or look like electrical outlets.

[Webster Green]

8. The whole story is absurd.

Why would they design the thing with an electrical connector to plug an extension cord into the hydrogen tank, thereby causing it to explode?

[Dr.Phool]

9. Reminds me of some of Ford's past designs.

[ContraBass Black]

11. They didn't. This is nonsense altogether.

[Kikosexy2]

12. Good point...

but any story in which the Chimp is about to be blown to smithereens is worth cheering for....or is that too unpatriotic of me?...or too evil?...

[acmavm]

3. Damn. So close and yet so far...

[MuseRider]

5. **snort**

Perfectly said. :rofl:

[Ganja Ninja]

4. Mark my words.

Bush will die by his own hand some day, not by suicide but accidentally through his own ignorance.

[ContraBass Black]

6. Preposterous does not even begin to say it.

Electrical outlet != hydrogen tank fill nozzle. The worst he could have done was make himself look foolish.

[madokie]

10. that he does

make himself look foolish
