Freedom of the Press iPod

Being Vice President is hard work:
The vice president is an iPod fan, and keeping it charged is a priority for his staff.
Normally that isn’t an issue, even when he’s flying around the world. Air Force II is equipped with outlets in each row of seats.
But when Dick Cheney was traveling home overnight Wednesday from his diplomatic mission, most of the outlets went on the fritz.
Working passengers began lining up their laptops to share the power from a couple of working outlets - particularly the reporters who urgently needed to prepare their articles to transmit during a quick refueling stop in England.
But when Cheney said his iPod needed to be recharged, it took precedent above all else and dominated one precious outlet for several hours. The vice president’s press staff intervened so a reporter could use the outlet for 15 minutes to charge a dead laptop, but then the digital music device was plugged back in.

I want the real list of what’s on Cheney’s iPod. We got a peak at what the Idiot in Chief listens to, why not the man behind the curtain, too?

Ayuh, I showah am. Considering this man was wed to his succubus in the age of Patsy Cline, hahhhdcoah for him is probably something akin to Pet Sounds. But I get your point, someone like him deserves an upgrade to a modern decade.
