<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe you saw the story this week about what the President listens to on his iPod<\/a>. And the accompanying sidebar on what’s on his playlist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can also read some speculation about what might be on the playlist of other politicians<\/a>
\n(this is on the L.A. Times website, which requires registration, but
\njust go to bugmenot.com<\/a> and they’ve got a reg already set up for
\nyou–even better, download the extension for Firefox and automate the
\nbugmenot process<\/a>).  Some examples:<\/p>\n

Karl Rove<\/strong>:<\/strong> “Under My Thumb”; “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?”<\/p>\n

Alberto Gonzales:<\/strong> “Whip It”<\/p>\n

Colin Powell:<\/strong> <\/strong>“Free Bird” <\/p>\n

John Bolton:<\/strong> “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)”<\/p>\n

Bill Clinton:<\/strong> “Sexual Healing”<\/p>\n

Al Gore:<\/strong> “March of the Wooden Soldiers”
\n <\/strong>
\n Tom DeLay:<\/strong> “Burnin’ Down the House” <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger:<\/strong> “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In that spirit, fire up your iPod in shuffle mode and put down the first 10 songs that come up.  Here’s mine:
\nUltraviolet – U2
\nRiver Rat Jimmy – Kelly Joe Phelps
\nYou’re Gonna Change – Emmylou Harris
\nThe Ballad of Carol Lynn – Whiskeytown
\nEven Better than the Real Thing – U2
\nThe Lighthouse’s Tale – Nickel Creek
\nAin’t Misbehavin’ – Fats Waller
\nBig Rock Candy Mountain – Harry McClintock
\nPoses – Rufus Wainwright
\nPersonal Jesus – Johnny Cash<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
