Wanna hear what Dubya has to say about his iPod? He chatted briefly with Fox News anchor Brit Hume about it after Hume asked him what was on his iPod these days. Here's the transcript.
Bush : Beach Boys, Beatles, let's see, Alan Jackson, Alan Jackson, Alejandro, Alison Krauss, the Angels, the Archies, Aretha Franklin, the Beatles, Dan McLean. Remember him?
Hume: Don McLean.
Bush: I mean, Don McLean.
Hume: Does "American Pie," right?
Bush: Great song.
Hume: Yes, yes, great song.
Unidentified male: ...which ones do you play?
Bush: All of these. I put it on shuffle. Dwight Yoakam. I've got the Shuffle, the, what is it called? The little.
Hume: Shuffle.
Bush: It looks like.
Hume: The Shuffle. That is the name of one of the models.
Bush: Yes, the Shuffle.
Hume: Called the Shuffle.
Bush: Lightweight, and crank it on, and you shuffle the Shuffle.
Hume: So you - it plays...
Bush: Put it in my pocket, got the ear things on.
Hume: So it plays them in a random order.
Bush: Yes.
Hume: So you don't know what you're going to going to get.
Bush: No.
Hume: But you know -
Bush: And if you don't like it, you have got your little advance button. It's pretty high-tech stuff.
Hume: ...be good to have one of those at home, wouldn't it?
Bush: Oh?
Hume: Yes, hit the button and whatever it is that's in your head - gone.
Bush: ...it's a bad day, just say, get out of here.
Hume: Well, that probably is pretty...
Bush: That works, too. (Laughter)
Hume: Yes, right.
Solid gold. Last night on Larry King Bill Maher was joking about Dubya's two terms, begging America to stop voting for the guy they'd want to drink with. He pointed out that Al Gore and John Kerry actually read things and are aware of things in the world outside their backyards. He thought it was probably a good thing that the President be aware of things and a reader and just because he seems like a folksy fun guy you might want to hang with doesn't mean he'll make a good President.
Again, solid gold.
