Like The Presidential Brain, Bush's iPod Needs Fillin'


I read with mild amusement the stories and commentary about the music playlists on President George W. Bush's iPod. One widely distributed pundit suggested the POTUS should include Creedance Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son" on the list.

The Democrats suggested the #1 song was really Prince's "When Doves Cry." The song title that turned my head from what we actually know of what's on the list was Blackie and the Rodeo Kings' "Swingin' From the Chains of Love."

The saddest thing about The Shrub's iPod is that it currently contains only 250 songs of the 10,000+ it is capable of handling. Sort of sums up the Bush II Presidency in so many ways. I'll leave it to y'all to make the comments about wasted space, doing so little with so much, etc.

But the blank bytes on the Presidential iPod led me to another thought: we really need to fill that sucker up with tunes that will truly inspire the leader of the Free World the next time he pops in the earbuds.

Okay dear readers: Time for you to nominate your Top Ten lists of songs that should be on Bush's iPod. Just click the Comments link below and add your 2 cents' (and ten tunes') worth!
