“Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton doesn’t need ‘Respect’ – she’s already got it at the top of her iPod playlist,” Ian Bishop reports for The New York Post. “The surprisingly tech-savvy Clinton mixes Aretha Franklin’s 1967 landmark smash hit for the feminist movement into her playlist rotation alongside The Eagles’ 1975 Top 5 hit, ‘Take It to the Limit.'”
Clinton “told The Post her iPod has ‘got like 1,000’ songs stored away in its digital memory – offering a rare window into her private life,” Bishop reports. “The former first lady received her iPod, a white one, as a birthday gift last October from ex-prez hubby Bill… Like Clinton, President Bush sports an eclectic mix of tunes on his iPod, grooving to The Knack’s ‘My Sharona,’ John Fogerty’s ‘Centerfield’ and Van Morrison’s ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ along with hits from country crooners George Jones and Alan Jackson. Vice President Dick Cheney stays true his Western roots and tunes his iPod to Johnny Cash. New York’s senior senator, Chuck Schumer, received his iPod – already programmed with his 100 favorite tunes – as a Father’s Day gift in 2004, two months after his teenage daughters, Jessica and Alison, hoodwinked him into ticking off his faves. He grooves to the Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louie Armstrong and the Counting Crows – ‘my daughters have turned me on to some of the ’90s music,’ Schumer boasted.”

LAME LAME LAME.
How many times can you listen to “Respect” and John Fogerty anyway. I would have to open a vein and let it flow, and I love Aretha but geez. Obviously a slow news day.
Oh no, I hope I didn’t offend anyone by talking bad about thier Queen (Hillary).
Is it just coincidence that there is a “Should Hillary Clinton run in 2008?” poll on the left-side of this page?
Thorin, I thought you didn’t like to see political rants on MDN? I didn’t know you were talking bad about HC, just the music. I totally agree with the “Respect” comment regardless of how I feel about politicians.
geez…who cares
“Oh no, I hope I didn’t offend anyone by talking bad about thier Queen (Hillary).”
Love it when the neocons but their intelligence level right out there.
OH MY LORD!!!
WHO CARES???!!!
Stand By Your Man
Who gives a crap..
“Thorin, I thought you didn’t like to see political rants on MDN?”
I just don’t like to see it get out of hand. I was just stirring the pot a little, and I guess you can always count on these kind of responses. I am NOT a f*cking NEOCON, so get bent. If making fun of Hillary makes me a NEOCON then what does that say about the people that decide to label me, huh?
By the way Noraa, I am not trying to give you grief, I enjoy our little volleys. Have a good day.

Soon every member of the Exec, Senate & Congress will have an iPod. And at specifically timed moment, hidden code will play the Brown Note. Taking down ≈2/3rds of the US Gov.
Where are the audio books about integrity? Oh, that’s right, she wouldn’t understand them. What about ethics? Nevermind.
Who really cares what’s on the b***hes iPod?
Please MDN. Let’s make this the LAST story about what playlist someone has on their iPod. We all know how easy Apple has made it to buy an iPod, to download iTunes, to buy a song at iTMS, to rip a CD, to load this stuff on your iPod, and to play songs on your iPod. I think the real story would be to find a political representative that CAN NOT figure out how to use an iPod. If you find that person, we need to make sure they don’t get re-elected (whether Dem, Repub, Libertarian or whatever) because that person clearly can’t figure out some of the more simple things in life!!!!
… since the GOP iPod thread was soo much fun …
Eric: maybe you want Hillary to listen to the same audio books on ethics and integrity that President Bush has listened to, because, you know, it’s worked out so well for him. Or maybe the ones that Nixon and Reagan listened to, because they were such paragons of virtue.
Neocons = delusional goofs.
I’d like to know what songs are on Mick Jagger’s iPod.
She’s Goin’ Bald – Beach Boys

Drowning Witch – Frank Zappa
Willie the Pimp – Frank Zappa
You Never Give Me Your Money – The Beatles

H’s Beatle favorites playlist:
Devil in Her Heart
Money (That’s What I Want)
Can’t Buy Me Love
Help
I’m a Loser
I’ll Be Back
C’mon effwerd, she would not listen to Alien Ant Farm’s Smooth Criminal. She’s old school and would definitely listen to Michael Jackson’s original!
I did like your choice of Willie The Pimp. That cracked me up – and I’m a dem!
Thorin may not be a ‘f*cking NEOCON’. He is however, a shit-stirrer.
And he thinks that when the shit starts flyin’, that his little tantrum will shield any of it from landing on him.
Dispite your protesting, you are culpable. Idiot.
As for labels, Thorin — see what your Queen might say.
And if you all can’t refrain from slagging a celebrity, then do try to find the concentration to stay on topic. Spare us your political or religious diatribes. I’m sure you can find a forum for those.
