The folks over at 3QuarksDaily went back to an april Article on Bush's iPod contents so they could juxtapose it with the playlist of a Clinton CD coming out. Their implications are obvious:
Songs found on Bush's iPod (according to the BBC):
John Fogerty: CenterfieldVan Morrison: Brown-Eyed GirlStevie Ray Vaughan: The House is Rockin'The Knack: My SharonaBlackie and the Rodeo Kings: Swinging from the Chains of LoveSongs from the new "Bill Clinton Collection: Songs from the Clinton Music Room," the first in a series of CDs (again from the BBC):My One and Only Love - John ColtraneHarlem Nocturne - David SandbornMy Funny Valentine - Miles DavisThe Town I Loved So Well - Phil CoulterSummertime - Zoot SimsChelsea Morning - Judy Collins
I know this is like comparing apples in oranges but still, the inference is unavoidable: Clinton is a poser.
Bush uses his iPod while Mountain Biking, a sport he picked up as an alternative to the knee-busting running he loves. One of the big contrasts between him and Kerry was then Bush would ride his mountain bike balls-out and invariably end up doing a faceplanting in the texas scrub brush. He's pop back up grinning and let the photographers take pictures of his bloody face. Kerry, on the other hand, would dandy around in his lyrca speed suit and then blame his falls on the photographers. Dork.
Bush's Brown Eyed Girl does raise an interesting hypothtical: If you're at a Party AT THE WHITE HOUSE, and that Song comes on, do you have to leave? I think you do. Politely though: You can't pitch your guiness into the trashcan across the room and do the Walter-hands-to-bridge-of-nose-headshake-of-disdain as you walk out, like normal.
Oh well, it will probably never happen.
