Labeling the President an Idiot is just as offensive in about 50 million American Citizens view, so I guess the CEO of Ford should now be fired too!

Ummm...have you ever heard him speak without a pre-written speech in front of him? ]]>Apr 12th 2007 12:50PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/
You don't have to respect the man, but you SHOULD respect the office. The amount of disrespect towards teh office has been at an obscene level since 2000, simply because the man had an (R) next to his name.]]>Apr 12th 2007 12:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/
Count how many media outlets call him "Mister Bush"

Last I checked, President of the United States of America was a title.

Mister President or President [name], regardless of party or popularity.

This story however seems to be a bigger dud than the moronic Imus thing, which is a tempest in a thimble.

It is sad that this kind of crap gets so much attention. Imus, Mullaly/Bush, Anna-Nicole, Brittney, and pretty much everything else in the cultural news lately has been meaningless, overblown crap, regardless of the merits or dismerits of the actual stories.]]>Apr 12th 2007 12:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/Apr 12th 2007 1:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/

Gee thanks, Duck, I didn't know that the ability to speak in front of people was the sole measure of a person intelligence (or lack thereof). I guess starting your own business, being a jet pilot, winning a statewide election without holding any prior office against an incumbant, and improving state educational scores were all just coincidences.]]>Apr 12th 2007 1:13PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/Apr 12th 2007 1:24PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/Apr 12th 2007 1:26PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/http://www.cnn.com/video/player/player.html?url=/video/moos/2007/04/11/moos.tall.tale.bombs.affl

That's the link to Autoblog on CNN. As the kids say, w00t!]]>Apr 12th 2007 2:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/12/mulally-apologizes-for-frenzy-over-bush-joke/
I think Todd Lassa is just miffed because online media like AutoBlog is capturing more of automotive enthusiasts attention than dead tree media like _Motor_Trend_ (and perhaps esp. Motor Trend)....

Poor misguided soul. Let me correct your mistakes:

You mean running several businesses into the ground - the collapse of Spectrum 7 Energy (oil) in TX after he took the helm back in the 80s...not to mention his insider trading deals with Harken Energy. Need I go on? I'll concede that he did a good job w/ the Texas Rangers ownership though (lol, but how difficult would that be when all you basically are is an investor?)

Jet pilot - of course this has been widely debated, as he barely passed w/ a MINIMUM score, but shot to the top of the 'reserves' list (past 500 WAY more qualified applicants) because of daddy's influence. Interesting how he NEVER flew during combat? He can barely respond to simple questions w/o stumbling, so how do you think he would fare in a fighter jet where quick decisiveness is key to a pilot's survival?

Winning statewide election - well if you're father's the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and you basically have the support of the top dogs in the political arena...I'm sure you can complete the equation here. Though I will concede that he did some good things as governor of Texas.

To answer your first point - when a person consistently says stupid things, over a six year period in front of the national eye...how would one be able to deduce that he is anywhere close to intelligent?

You and him must have some things in common.]]>Apr 12th 2007 2:22PM
