What does President Bush have on his iPod?
First, Bush’s iPod is heavy on traditional country singers like George Jones, Alan Jackson and Kenny Chesney. He has selections by the folk-rock singer Van Morrison, whose “Brown-Eyed Girl” is a Bush favorite, and by John Fogerty, most predictably “Centerfield,” which was played at Texas Rangers games when Bush was an owner and is still played at ballfields all over America. (”Oh, put me in, Coach - I’m ready to play today.”)

Funny that he has Fogerty on there . . . a man who wrote a song and went on tour all with the intent of getting Bush out of office.
Kind of like when Ronnie was trying to use Born In The USA, a song about all the rotten things he was doing to veterans, as a patriotic feel-good anthem. He didn’t seem to mind that the man who wrote it said on the eve after Reagans election that something scary had happened to America the night before.

How about Feed US-A Fetus by the Dayblo Abortions, or Bomb the Boats, Feed the Fish by the Forgotten Rebels

Or Hail To The Chief

heh, funny you mention hail to the chief. Bush already has that covered by having Fogerty on there:
“Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
ooh, they’re red, white and blue.
And when the band plays “Hail To The Chief”,
oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,
It ain’t me, it ain’t me,
I ain’t no senator’s son,
It ain’t me, it ain’t me,
I ain’t no fortunate one,”
problem is he’s got it wrong again here. he IS a fortunate son and it wont be his kids the canon gets pointed at.

I am sure that he has the special version of the Pledge of Allegiance performed by the band “Imperial Hubris” with singer/songwriter Natan Sharansky where it says “to the democracy for which it stands.” He also would have the “Battle Hymn of the Democracy” by the Rockefeller Party. In good humor I would say that his choice of music is about as sad as his choice of war-time advisors.

I really doubt that Bush, if he is at all concerned about the spot he occupies, makes the time to even think of putting on an IPod, except for a photo opt. If he has one, it is probably actually a radio, feeding him information about the world, most of the time, and tuned to the SS in times of personal safety issues. Yeah, same initials, but here it stand for Secret Service.
Sure he does. Favorite Song, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” when thinking about Bin Laden gets him down.

I can’t believe how many people attack service in the National Guard.
Kerry was the one who sought deferments from service… the way Clinton had, when he dodged the draft…

What a sad bunch of idiot liberals.
I’m obviously conservative. So guess - what’s my favorite music?
Hints, I graduated High School in ‘77. Marine Corps for four years. White, grew up in Massachusetts (yes - hate to admit it). College - magna cum laude (GPA 3.96) Middle aged, overweight, and so conservative.
So pigeon hole me.

Pink Floyd - Have everything they ever recorded. Though lately I’ve really gotten into Joe Satriani.
George Bush, child of the 1960’s in Texas. The music you liked in high school is what stays with you. His mix seems about right.

Sadly though, Matt, Kerry was the one man enough to go to combat in a strange hostile foreign land. Bush helped some Texan with an election. Yipee.

Todd - for crying out loud - move on will you? Don’t forget that most Viet Nam vets consider Kerry to have betrayed them with his VVAW activities (even if Kerry does not see it that way). Maybe JFK2’s music list should include “Heard it on the grape vine” and “Your cheatin Heart”. Two good betrayal tunes.

todd ignorantly spits out, “Bush helped some Texan with an election. Yipee.”
And he also flew a plane nicknamed the “Widowmaker” because it had a high propensity for blowing up in mid-air. “Yipee” yourself ya jackoff.

likwidshoe - It just goes to show you that even with lighthearted stories, the left can’t help but let their vile hatred bubble through. They advocate violence against Republicans, slam everything we do, and yet are stupid enough to think we will give up our guns.

You’re right, flying planes is not something to sneeze at. But I’m not sure Bush ever actually soloed; did he? Either way, personally, I don’t think this is an issue anymore.

Ping Pong - good technique - make an unsubstaiated claim like he didn’t solo, then say it doesn’t matter. Yes. He was a full fledged fighter pilot. Flew alone, and at night, and everything. Sheeezzzz.
April 15th, 2005 at 4:22 pm
Easy there Kahn boy, I didn’t make any claims, just that I read somewhere that he was never cleared for full flight status because of a lack of solo hours.
Sheeeez is right.

somewhere? Oh well, so long as its a reliable source like that.
