Still a Distressing Lack of Ghostface on Politicos’ iPods
May we please have a major politician with even slightly interesting taste in music? Is that too much to ask? Another week, another politician’s iPod filled with the Stones (once again, we ask: No “Midnight Rambler?” “Under My Thumb” would be pretty funny, right? Can we please find out that Laura Bush has “Mother’s Little Helper” on her workout playlist?), the token Motown classics, and, of course, the fucking Eagles. And U2, cementing their position as the modern Eagles, but even more boring.
Anyway, the New York Post found out what’s on Hillary Clinton’s iPod. The only entertaining part of the story was when the New York Times was briefly sending this out in response to the “email this story to a friend” link:
Doomed Tennessee man: What’s on your iPod?
- Neil Young — “Needle and the Damage Done”
- Boyz II Men — “End of the Road”
- The Eagles — “The Last Resort”
(All right, we’ll also grant the Post this: The fact that the end of the piece makes it sound like Chuck Schumer made a very obvious point of telling them that he had an iPod too is pretty damn funny.)

Wonkette’s Week in Review
- Duke Cunningham gets the longest sentence ever given to a congressman: 8 years and 4 months.
- Blackberry users, exhale.
- A Wonkette exclusive: a new Hurricane Katrina briefing video, which exonerates everyone! Maybe it will boost the president’s approval rating, which has reached an all-time low.
- Condoleezza Rice lets us see her sweat.
- After participating in the most vacuous interview ever, George Bush travels to India and Pakistan (and even makes a surprise visit to Afghanistan). The trip results in a landmark nuclear energy agreement with India — and many funny photographs.
- David Gregory drunk-dials Imus.
- Our are men and women in uniform unable to access Wonkette, as well as many other fine and upstanding websites? Maybe; maybe not.
- Hillary: Karl Rove obsesses about me. (Don’t think too hard about that one.)
- Tom Malin, the former gay prostitute now running for the Texas state legislature, refuses to withdraw. Well, we never doubted his stamina.
- Finally, a little Wonkette navel-gazing: check out our latest feature, Cartoon Violence, and our live chat on washingtonpost.com. Fun stuff.

EVEN BREAKING-ER: 8 YEARS IN THE PEN FOR THE DUKE-STIR
Congrats to Randy “Duke” Cunningham for entering the history books with the longest jail term ever given to a Congressman: 8 years, 4 months. All this for a little graft? It’s getting so a guy can’t make a dishonest living anymore.
Dick Morris is currently predicting Cunningham’ll join Hillary’s ticket in ‘08.
(Or write your own damn punchline, it’s Friday evening, fer chrissakes.)
