PLUG ME IN!?!
More backlash against Danica.
This time, Formula One boss Ecclestone has likened Danica to a domestic appliance.
"She did a good job, didn't she? Super. Didn't think she'd be able to make it like that," Ecclestone told a gathering of reporters about Patrick's Indy 500 finish. "You know, I've got one of these wonderful ideas that women should be all dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances," Ecclestone added.
Former NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle champion Angelle Sampey and legendary top fuel driver Shirley Muldowney both had some defensive words for Mr. Ecclestone this past weekend at the NHRA event. Angelle cracked back on air "[We] have worked harder than most all who compete against [us] to earn each of these championships."
The remark from Ecclestone is bothersome, but somewhat unsurprising. That attitude is abundant in motorsports, especially in such a deeply rooted traditional sanction such as Formula One.

hahah! you got dressed up IN white and are holding a white appliance PLUG.
Girl, you have to figure out a way to send that to him. What a bastard. You know what, I'll get dressed up in white w/a plug and send it to him. Better yet, you should make a blog just for that. Get all women dressed up in white, holding an applicance plug. Send that mo-fo a message.
/sorry, that's my activism side coming out.

Killer photo.....like one of the other posters said, you should send it to Blowhard Bernie
Fortunately, not all guys think that way regarding women and racing. We know Danica and others got game...and that's not because of the FHM spread.
Once motor sports realize that, with more women participating, it increases the overall talent pool....which leads to better racing across the board.
Great website, and thanks for visiting my blog (Third And Blog)
