George W. Bush Suicide Attempt

Posted in Oddly... by Elliott Back on April 8th, 2007. [Del.icio.us]

We may not have to wait for his term to end before we can see George W. Bush leave office. Yesterday our Chief Executive nearly blew himself up while inspecting a hybrid car by putting the electric charger into the hydrogen port. This would surely be worthy of the Darwin Award:

Fortunately, Alan Mulally the CEO of Ford averted disaster:

“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?”

This reminds me greatly of the infamous segway photo where George W. Bush fell off of his segway personal transporter. Trouble (and clumsiness) certainly follows this president around. Or maybe it’s because he got 1206/1600 on the SAT. Natural selection does have a way with us that borders on fate and the eerie!
