THE PRESIDENTIAL IPOD….The New York Times reports today on the contents of George Bush’s iPod:

Mr. Bush, as leader of the free world, does not take the time to download the music himself; that task falls to his personal aide, Blake Gottesman, who buys individual songs and albums, including Mr. Jones’s and Mr. Jackson’s greatest hits, from the iTunes music store.

All legally downloaded from the iTunes store, eh? Sure, Blake. I smell a scandal here for any reporter enterprising enough to demand receipts!
