SAT Time: Bush is to Iraq (pictured) as Electricity is to...?


Blogger E, in an earlier comments section you had the gall to suggest that Ford CEO Alan Mullaly maybe doesn't deserve 28 mil. for presiding over a hemorrhaging company, but see below. How you like him now?

From the Detroit News:

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. 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?"

So, what do you think: Cry for help? New, desperate, if-you-can't-beat-em-join-'em Qaeda policy? If so, Mr. President, know one thing: I've got my DVD of Heathers (pictured) and an unopened tub of Americone Dream at the ready. Let's talk, and more important, let's hug it out, bitch.

I was going for hydrogen, but that's okay. I don't blame you. I blame the state of Canadian education.

Btw, I saw this the other day, I think, on Wonkette: a denim on denim outfit (pants and shirt) is called a "Canadian Tuxedo." Thoughts?

listen, it's also been called the tennessee tuxedo and the texas tuxedo. at least those two are alliterative.

nonetheless, i blame kd lang. and shania twain.

DUDE and it was on...GAWKER.

It's all the same. Gawker, Wonkette, Defamer, etc.

Btw, how come no one else is commenting on our recent posts? Why hasn't Gawker picked us up like they did this girl I went to high school with when she started blogging about her dumb law firm?

Are we not as awesome as I think we are? Whoah, what was that. I just had to slap myself for getting all hysterical. Sorry. We're awesome. It's only a matter of time...
