That's my iPod! He STOLE it!
I'm fairly certain I know: the same evil leprechaun that drives Ralph Wiggum.
So he's not completely a moron. Mostly, but not all moron. Just a teeny bit not a moron. Well, he is still all moron, but at least he likes his iPods.
Thank Ive!
He made the iPod so easy to use that even Bush gets it…
![]()
that was quite funny, even though I don't like him, it somehow made him more human in my eyes!
NOT!!!!
George Bush is awesome! Thank god the french democrats aren't running things. The terrorists would be running things by now.
Those brat twins better buy him a 5th gen ipod video or I will stamp them as bottom-feeder brats on my brat meter. I hate bratty brats
Pdt Bush only listen to his ipod in mode shuffle. Can't use the menus.
Yeah! Right! Except Bush needed someone else to pick the songs and load the music for him, and give him a six hour tutorial on how to work it!
so, the Bushbashers would rather have that wanking coward kerry in the white house? "mark" got it right; if that putz was in power, the frogs would be dictating American foreign policy; saddam would still be in power; the taliban would still be raping afganistan; and we'd be "enjoying" vastly higher taxes. W may be a little strange, and out of his depth sometimes, but there is no doubt that he was the vastly better choice over that smarmy butt-buddy of little teddy.
Dude's rockin' to the Archies.
What can I say. The leader of the free world and the iPod that freed the world of all those crappy mp3 players....
Just another GW distraction giving the Bush administration enough time to pick your pockets clean. It's definitely going to be a Merry Christmas for the haves and the have mores.
i am surprised that being from Texas, he is not pushing his buddy Dell. I guess all the money could not buy him to carry that piece of crap.
oh yes billysmoronmom. What's best for the USA is to have the Chinese finance tax breaks for the rich in this country all while in a time of 'war'. If you don't have a 7-8 figure net worth you should never vote for a neocon.
Well, at least he's good for something!
To bvdecicco
>So he's not completely a moron. Mostly, but not all moron. Just a teeny bit not a moron. Well, he is still all moron, but at least he likes his iPods.>
Do you have an MBA? Can you fly a jet?
You probably couldn't be president of a toilet. Yeah, the handle is for flushing.
Get real, you maroon.
Those who call Kerry a coward should stand in line for options on the Brooklyn Bridge. I am holding the auction next month.
Gullible morons!
I love Apple but I could give a rats that GWB uses anything made by them.
I bet you'll be really excited to know that Bushy probably has a video of you and all your fudge packing, bush loving friends on his video iPod. You know, the one the NSA drops off to him so he can spy on Americans first-hand now? Bush is ruining this country, even without the war!
A classic piece.
This is a clunker compared to the newer version.
I got the shuffle ... lightweight ... [thumb-press gesture] ... crank it on ... <u>and</u> you shuffle the shuffle.
Put in in my pocket ... got the hits[sic], uh ear-things on....
And if you don't like it, you hit ... the next button. Pretty hi-tech stuff.
The Archies??? Aretha Franklin??? WTF! This is bad! The Archies, that's the Monkees minus Peter Tork. I thought they went out of business 35 years ago!
Looks like his music taste was frozen during his college time. That's what juvenile binge drinking does to you.
Yeah most cowards I know went to Vietnam when they didn't have to, saw combat and recieved 3 purple hearts. Then again, I also know a bunch of anti-American fags who try to strip people of their combat experience, purple hearts, etc., because of political bias. Such people almost always never went to war for their country, and somehow claim to be patriotic when in fact they spit on the American flag and everything it stands for when they try to call a bonafide soldier a "coward". You hypocrites make me sick.
Herbert: Looks like his music taste was frozen during his college time. That's what juvenile binge drinking does to you.
If you watched the whole piece, he also had Alison Krauss. No prettier, more tasteful music has ever been recorded this side of heaven. I'd say he possesses some excellent taste in music.
Anim...
Kerry spent 3 months "in country" and later spent the entire election campaign trying to convince the American public he was "Rambo." Kerry is just a toady to that drunk from Mass riding his brothers' fame.
Mark, that was funny as hell. I salute you.
Can anyone post a QuickTime link to this video? I am making every effort not to download WMP onto my beautiful Mac!
doncha just love these MDNs open invitations to bash Bush ? ...
(not that he hasn't given us ample opportunity to bash him)
But what is even more strange, is the lack of the right wing-nuts (posting here) who are bashing the Bush bashers !!
MDN MW: "Party"
as in ... party on !!
Yeah, all this Bush bashing is like liberals getting that little rubber medical hammer hitting their "funny bone". Course such an instrument would not be used on their spine because of the obvious reason that their species doesn't have one. Anything the man says or does is fodder for their cannons. Go Bush, Go iPod...
MDN word: society Oh the irony!
Actually, I thought GW said Bono had stopped by the White House to drop off a U2 pod...
Well done Mark, great line there... "George Bush is awesome! Thank god the french democrats aren't running things. The terrorists would be running things by now."
Just wait for history to run its course... because when Iraq is free, democratic and an example to the rest of the Middle East - in a year or two - people will have to shut up about the 'war' and how wrong it was.
Amazing, the President of the United States doing a free ad for the iPod.
We should all be real happy.
(And you notice how even knew how it worked and the different models. Apple fan or what!)
if this simpleton can use it then anyone can figure it out.
I would think that everyone wants Iraq to work out. That's the difference between *REAL* patriots and fake ones. The real ones saw all the lies and bullshit and incompetence of Bush's plan to invade Iraq, and called 'em out on it, but at the same time hoped that in the end it DOES work out for this country and the world. The fake ones ate up all the bullshit like lemmings and are more concerned about "being right" than being truthful. And that goes for some leftists as well. Most people on the left that I know *want* Iraq to make it to a stable democratic government. I know it's hard to imagine for an idealistic neo-con that eats up all the bullshit they are fed on Fox news nightly, but most Liberals are more patriotic than you can imagine.
Kerry spent 3 months "in country"
Good enough for me. How many months did you spend "in country" to give you the right to call our soldiers "cowards". Is your MO to undermine brave US soldiers? Are you working for the terrorists?
you can always tell those who actually believe Fox News is actually "real" news.... These are the ones who blame all of our countrys ills on those "darned liberals" ...
I've got news for you kumquats .... the liberals aren't the enemy here !
Our country was founded on a free exchange of ideas ! .. This means that both the liberal and the conservative points of view are equally valid and equally important for our country to grow !
And those Fox News watchers, who would have you believe otherwise, are not only dangerous to the American way of life .. but they are also showing their ignorance !
Aretha! - she should have her own signature iPod... that's one I would buy

President Retard has photos of your mom on his iPod.
Worst fscking president ever.
I'm Nick's leaking ass. I can tell you that I'd MUCH rather have a hummer-receiving, philandering, sycophantic, wife-hating, missle-launching, flip-flopper in the White House who actually said that "we can't give that money back to the people, we're not sure they'd spend it correctly."
No thanks, Nick's Leaking Ass -- I'll take George Bush any day, you CNN suckhole.
At least Bush freely comes out and says he uses an iPod.
If it were Kerry, he'd take a poll before the interview and make sure he had an iPod, a Creative, and some other POS player in his pocket so he wouldn't "offend" anybody with the wrong choice.
Spineless liberals deserve their spineless "leaders" (Nancy "Harpie" Pelosi) and their gutless, sell-out, spineless allies (France).
Hey, Spank, lemme help you: "Kerry spent 3 months 'in country'... and THEN tried to MAKE like it was much, much more than that. At the very least, the guy posed (during his fifteen minutes) as a war hero, when clearly he was anything BUT. Plenty of folks have spent time "in country" and not lied about it. Now, about Fox... and the "bullshit" they supposedly feed us, Mr. I'm-Not-Biased. What do YOU watch, CNN? Or do you prefer the network that Dan Rather called home? Lovin' that NYTimes are ya? So... can you tell me exactly which story Fox has "fed" us recently that was erroneous, or even biased? (I'll double your output while limiting myself to any other network.) Clue: There's a REASON why folks have made Fox #1... and it ain't because we're all "righty-tighties," either. Somebody needs to call you on your own bullshit.
"most powerful man in the world"
wotta laff!
"Ever wondered what the most powerful man in the world listens to in his spare time?"
And I thought this was going to be about Dick Cheney.
mac dood, you seem to know soooo much about Fox, and all their doo-doo head watchers who actually believe Fox is presenting "real" news. Same question we gave Sir Spanks-A-Lot goes to you: Where do YOU get your news? Please help those of us too ignorant to figure out when we're getting FAIR reporting, will you? First off, anybody who believes everything they hear is an out of the closet moron. And if you're going to hold up a mainstream network over Fox, in my humble opinion, you not only drank your liberal koolaid... you've been standing upside down with your head in a toilet full of it for a while now. But if you've got facts, well... let's have 'em!
I think that President Retard says it best himself:
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/08/20040805-3.html
(search for "neither" on the page)
stinker ...
"Fair and Balanced"..... How can it be ? .. when Fox News uses the term " Liberal" as a curse word ? .... Balanced ? .... whats your definition? ..... Fair ?? .... to whom ??
"Real Journalism" .... Do you even know what that is ??
There is an award for "Excellence in Journalism" given out every year .... its the "Oscar" for Journalism .... and its called .. "The Edward R. Murrow" award ....
Has Fox News ever achieved this standard ?
Have you ever wondered why ?
So, you go on your rampage about those "darned liberals" .. and coninue to spread the hate spewed by Fox News, and forget the fact that our forefathers actually wanted "The People" to keep a close eye on those in public office ... pointing out their faults, calling them on their lies, etc.
Remember, .... no one died, when Clinton lied !
Try as you might to call one of our troops who fought in Vietnam a coward, stinker, you just can't get around it. You are shitting on a guy who went to Vietnam, fought and risked his life in honor of our country, recieved 3 purple hearts, and saved another soldiers life. Maybe you should move to Iran, I'm sure plenty of people over there would agree with your blatant disrepect for our soliders.
Wow, I'm impressed that anyone of the President's generation gets it! And, he's exactly right, if you have an older iPod, the 5G makes it look like a "clunker"!
What I really dislike about the public discourse is the lack of civility and respect. Regardless of where you stand upon the issues, the ad hominem attacks are just rude.
Mark, you're right as usual! I wish the Pres would switch to the Mac….

Is that the same one that was under his jacket during the Kerry debates?
