From the hotnews section at apple.com:

Bush Demands Recount In Gore?s Board Election
?In the wake of Apple?s announcement late yesterday that former Vice President Al Gore was elected to the company?s board of directors, President George Bush announced this morning that he would demand a recount....The Bush administration indicated that if a recount was not successful, they would take the matter to the Supreme Court,? reports Crazy Apple Rumors.

I thought they hated rumor site, even if it is a wacky rumor site.

I guess they thought it was funny. And after watching Al's performance on SNL, he obviously has a good sense of humor about things.

I love companies that appear to have a sense of humor.

Here's a screen:

Heh, I hadn't seen this newly updated news page (apple.com/hotnews), that's funny. I think it's great that Apple would link to a rumor site's humorous article.

Gore's wife Tipper is also described as a Mac user, one who "uses audio editing software to take the dirty words out of hard core hip hop and heavy metal songs."
I thought that was moderately funny.
