    Bush's Secret iPod Playlist


    The political and entertainment worlds are abuzz with discussion and analysis regarding the contents of President Bush's iPod. The list, released by the White House on Tuesday, reveals a bland and predictable mix of rock classics and country.

    What is much more interesting - and surprising - are the songs comprising Bush's previously secret playlist. Released only this morning under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, Bush's other playlist is said to include:

    - "Head Like a Hole" (Nine Inch Nails)
    - "American Idiot" (Green Day)
    - "Sympathy for the Devil" (The Rolling Stones)
    - "Rock the Casbah" (The Clash)
    - "Ohio" (CSNY)
    - "Girlfriend in a Coma" (The Smiths)
    - "It's Raining Men" (The Weather Girls)
    - "Just Like Heaven" (The Cure)
    - "Spirit in the Sky" (Norman Greenbaum)
    - "God's Country" (U2)
    - "Cocaine" (Eric Clapton)
    - "Casey Jones" (Grateful Dead)
    - "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" (George Thoroughgood)
    - "Lies" (Thompson Twins)
    - "Loser" (Beck)
    - "Big Mouth Strikes Again" (The Smiths)
    - "What a Shame About Me" (Steely Dan)
    - "War" (Edwin Starr)
    - "Poppa Don't Preach" (Madonna)
    - "Blinded Me with Science" (Thomas Dolby)
    - "Southern Man" (Neil Young)
    - "Sweet Home Alabama" (Lynrd Skynrd)
    - "U.S. Blues" (Grateful Dead)
    - "Straight Outta Compton" (NWA)
    - "Fight the Power" (Public Enemy)

    Bush's iPod supposedly contains a hidden gem: a prerelease version of Toby Keith's "Video Soldier, Real Life Cracker."

    OMG, I'm LMAO! Perfect list for the idiot. The official list supposedly includes some Fogerty. Think it's this one?

    DEJA VU (ALL OVER AGAIN)

    Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
    Did you try to read the writing on the wall
    Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
    It's like Deja Vu all over again

    Day by day I hear the voices rising
    Started with a whisper like it did before
    Day by day we count the dead and dying
    Ship the bodies home while the networks all keep score

    Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
    Could your eyes believe the writing on the wall
    Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
    It's like Deja Vu all over again

    One by one I see the old ghosts rising
    Stumblin' 'cross Big Muddy
    Where the light gets dim
    Day after day another Momma's crying
    She's lost her precious child
    To a war that has no end

    John Fogerty

    Here! The fascists who run this one want more comment by me but I think the lack of wordy comment is a comment in itself.

    Bush's Double Secert ipod list is sure to contain the OutKast anthem "Bombs over Bagdad". I was shocked that it was omitted from both rather tame lists. I Know it was blaring in my Mp3 player(and at times my loudspeaker) when I was driving my HUMMV in and around Iraq. Of couse nothing clears the streets like LUDACRIS'"Move Bitch",
    FYI: Iraqi kids love RunDMC's "It's Tricky". George(my former boss) and all you other list lovers might like it as well.

    Surely "Reasons" by Bush (aptly enough)?
    Though, does seem pretty short of them.
