Dick Cheney's iPod takes priority
VP Dick Cheney was flying home from Baghdad last week with his iPod, when most of the outlets on Air Force II went out. The plane was filled with reporters, all lining up to charge their laptops at the few working outlets so they could get their stories ready for transmission during an upcoming refueling stop. Wouldn't you know it -- Dick Cheney's iPod needed charging at the same time. News stories or no news stories, Cheney's music took precedence. The Associated Press reported that Cheney's iPod "dominated one precious outlet for several hours." Granted, a press aide did allow a reporter to use the outlet to charge a dead laptop for 15 minutes, but then the iPod went right back into the outlet. After all, Dick needs his tunes.
