from engadget:
In this photoessay from VII photo agency, you can see Prez Bush using his iPod:




Wonder what he's listening to?
Could someone submit the second photo to the ipodmyphoto site?

Politics aside...

I wonder how many celebrities receive iPods (potentially from their personal stylist) just so it looks like they are "cool."

The caption below the first photo says "President Bush prepares his I-pod during a bicycle ride at a secure location outside Washington D.C. December 12, 2004."

So they obviously didn't know what an iPod was...

I-pod ???

It's an hour-long recording of Strongsad saying "Nuclear" over and over.

Do Not Use While Driving

Important: Use of headphones while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop listening to your iPod if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires your full attention.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

He was listening to Brown Eyed Girl according to TIME magazine. Good, that's all cleared up.

Yeah he is a moron, but still, we all do it! We would be lying if we said we didn't! Bush looks almost normal in that workout attire. Finally a check mark on the good side for Bush in my book.

How quick are you guys to throw politics into something like this? Well, I guess pretty quick.


Duh. Everyone and their dead grandma has an iPod.
Of course, Apple still needs to work out some of the kinks in reliability, but it's popular for a reason.

Glad to see him using an iPod.

Let's not forget some of his new audio books:

"How to Eat Preztels"
"Invasions for Dummies"

Apple should use him as a product demonstration. "Look, even our president can use it."

Maybe that's what that weird friggin' hump on his back was during the debates...

Speaking of which, why didn't that ever amount to anything? Do we just not care that the president may the kind of guy who can't be without his handlers, ever? President Clinton getting some "service" from Monica would seem to be on about the same level of importance as that, and that turned into a fiasco like no other.
