In Time Magazine’s latest issue, U.S. President George W. Bush is profiled as Time’s “Person of the Year” and included among the photographs by Christopher Morris are a couple of President Bush on or near his Trek bike with the caption, “At a Secret Service training facility, Bush bikes and listens to Van Morrision’s Brown Eyed Girl on his iPod.” Bush also sports what look to us to be Etymotic Research ER-6i Isolator earphones (see our review “Review: Etymotic Research ER-6i Isolator earphones – September 10, 2004, for more information).
Earlier this year, MacDailyNews noticed a line in a piece by Susan Baer for The Baltimore Sun about Vice President Dick Cheney: “His family life, too, has been kept largely under wraps, though in some ways it is remarkably ordinary, right down to the iPod the vice president received from his children for Christmas,” Baer wrote.
So, now we know that the top two positions of the U.S. Government’s Executive Branch are occupied by Apple iPod users.

No matter what the liberal democrats whine about -remember they raised and spent more money than the republicans, they had the “smartest” advisors, the “smartest” voters, and yet they lost.
They lost.
They lost.
And then they try to deny and twist the facts of why they lost, the winners can always sit back, relax and smile and say, “We won.”
And that Bush received the most votes ever as a Presidential candidate and named by the the #1 liberal news magazine, Time, as “Man of the Year”.
Oh my, dear libs, have a very Merry Christmas!
(And do ask the oh-so-smart John Kerry why he still had $80,000,000 left in his campaign fund after the election and why he did not spend it in Ohio. Ho! Ho! Ho! Kerry and the dems smart?)
He was going to use the left over money on ketchup. Now he can tell her….I didn’tspend your money, honey!

I wonder if the President knows how to turn the iPod on. You remember he forgot to turn on the Segway and stumbled off it. It’s the old chewing gum while listening at the same time trick. Oh, I forgot, he doesn’t listen to anyone – even to his iPod, but God.
P.S. Funny, my magic word was George!
Most of the Bush bashers on this site are disgusting, commie, jealous, foreigners.
Up yours aholes. Bush won and will continue to kick scummy terrorist ass whether you like it or not. We Americans for the most part love it. Once Iraq settles down it, a democratic, free Iraq will be much better for the world.
What has your country done to stop the other threats? North Korea and Iran. Absolutely nothing as usual.
Merry Christmas losers!
Can we be sure that Dubya was using an iPod, not a HP Pod? Because considerig the way his administration let Microsoft off the hook, giving it free reign to use its monopoly power to enrich itself at everybody else’s expense, I’d guess he’d be a Windows guy. If he were smart enough to actually use a computer. Otherwise, just why would they be calling it “Longhorn”?
That does it, I’m tossing my iPod in the Potomac.
What was it that John Kerry said? “Set aside the bitterness.”
Oh, that’s right.

I wish all you smelly hippies and effeminate pussy liberals would drop dead.
Apple should have a new ad: “If Bush can operate it, so can your 5 year old. Buy an iPod today!
…but, I have my money on the fact that someone in the Secret Service programmed the iPod with just ONE SONG, and pressed “Play” for him.
…actually, it’s just one audio file repeating. “Ter-ror, not tear. Ter-ror-ists, not tear-ists.” …over and over again.
Just as with the monkey on a typewriter writing “War and Peace”, given enough time and luck, even the truly stupid can do something that appears to be brilliant.
In terms of the election, there has never been anything in my life that has compelled me so much to move to Ireland. In the US, I new that many people were total idiots, I just never knew that MOST of them were idiots!
Dems=Losers this election and last.
Accept it and quit bitching
All you gung-ho republican Dubya supporters are embarassing to the rest of us who realize that this administration are nothing more than a bunch of corrupt, ignorant and unimaginative doofuses that bend over for the mouth-breather fundamentalist televangelist cabal.
But then, we don’t expect much cranial activity from your ilk anyway.
Hey,
Enough of this nonsense. The President using an Apple product is a good thing. Take all this rage & bitternes and point it toward the real enemy, the wintel monopoly!
You go to a MAC SITE; you see a picture of Bush wearing an iPOD; and you beyond-left-into-psychosis needies have to vomit all over it. See this little stone in my hand? Look! I’m placing it here on the table. When I come back in 5 minutes, you’ll have spewed your anti-Bush sewerage all over it, so no one can even see it’s a stone anymore. Does living in this frenzy give meaning to your lives?

(i am only trying to get a rise out of you)
“embarassing to the rest of us”
That funny, I didnt know winning was embarassing. I thought having no idea what your voter are looking for IN YOUR OWN PARTY was embarassing. Where is the Kerry campaign’s cranial activity now, huh?
Well, pod one, my visceral reaction to seeing the chimperor is to vomit. I think I speak for the rest here who don’t worship Cheney’s little puppet.
Good Riddance Are You GAY Too? We do not miss your queer smelly ass one bit. You belong in Europe with all the Eurofags!
It’s not winning that’s embarassing, Buffy. It’s that a majority of voters were stupid enough to be hoodwinked by the Bu$hCo regime. Apparently using an apostrophe is beyond the reach of Dubya supporters as well…

1323 service people are dead. Countless Iraqis are dead. Halliburton’s filthy mitts are full of money.
Long live G.W’s god.
As Cheney would so eloquently put it, “F*%k You!”

All you gung-ho liberal Kerry supporters and anti-americans are embarassing to the rest of us who realize that Kerry and your Eurotrash leaders are nothing more than a bunch of corrupt, ignorant and unimaginative doofuses that bend over for the mouth-breather fundamentalist televangelist muslim.
But then, we don’t expect much cranial activity from your ilk anyway.
I love how lately people use the word “liberal” to mean a very bad political stance. Correct me if I’m wrong, but at one time the thought of letting women vote or people from minority groups or hell, even before that non-land owners-all things we take for granted today-were liberal ideas at the times in history of when they were pitched. This is not a pro-Bush/anti-Bush stance that conflict is long over. This is an educational lesson for people like Tom Strong, Radical Right Wing Death Dealers and Happy Winner. Remember, America isn’t only for white christian males.
And RRWDD (nice, wholesome name btw, must be really popular with the ladies at your church), thanks, but no thanks, I don’t need a gun for I’m civilized and have better things to do with my money and time.
i thought g.w. would have a mini. its small, and when you’re the president there is no time to listen to more than 4 gigs of tunes. ….of course he could aslo use it to transport tons of government secrets. that settles it. 60gb ipod photo is the only ipod for the president of the u.s.
and btw, jack. the quote i loved the most is…
“I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.” �George W. Bush, Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 29, 2000
he has been paying attention.

Haha! That’s pretty good Charles! Now try thinking for yourself instead of just co-opting.
Where’s that televangelist Muslim channel, anyway?
And thanks for proving the witlessness of the right-wing�
