What Would You Do for $21 Million?

I suppose if you are Alan Mulally, the ceo of Ford Motor, you would be willing to come to work and run the company into the ground by focusing on F-150 trucks and suv's. At last month's disastrous hearings where the Detroit Three asked for an additional $25 billion, Mulalley refused to consider cutting his own salary - he took home over $21 million in compensation last year alone.

Word is that someone had a chat with Mulalley. Today he is saying that he could live on savings for awhile if that is what is needed to get the bailout.
