On GW's iPod: "No black artists, no gay artists, no world music, only one
woman, no genre less than 25 years old, and no Beatles."
Yet another thing about the man for me to dislike.
Spare me. Bush's iPod was programmed by the same media advisor, Mark
McKinnon, who was interviewed in the article. The iPod contains nothing more
than an accumulation of stuff McKinnon thought the president might like. The
idea that a U.S. president has the spare time to go sifting through iTunes
or Napster to fill up his iPod playlist is ludicrous. If someone is inclined
by ideological disposition to bash Bush, he or she can find plenty of better
reasons than the demographics behind the songs a member of the president's
staff put on an iPod.
And here we'd gone three or four months without politics rearing its ugly
head on Audities. All good things come to an end, alas.
