Bono gives Bush iPod
President Bush has an iPod. This isn't exactly breaking news here on TUAW, however, according to this Rueters story Bono gave President Bush an iPod. It isn't clear what model iPod it was, but I imagine it was one of the video enable iPods that the President wanted.The article also lists a number of other presents that Pres. Bush received, including a chainsaw.

When I listen to my iPod I get the munchies. I hope Bono gave him a bag of pretzels too.

> Bush's ranch in Crawford was valued at more than $1 million to $5 million.
I normally assume that if something is worth more than $5 million it is more than $1 million. When I was studying Physics in College I had the feeling the Liberal Arts guys weren't very good in Math and Science, but journalists these days would fail remedial math.
Could be a red iPod of some sort, as part of the 'Red' campaign Bono is running as an AIDS awareness/findraising exercise (corporations made limited edition versions of their products in red, a chunk of the money goes to charity).
Apple has worked with Bono in the past, I imagine something like red iPods would be exactly what Bono is looking for.
If this is the intellectual level of political commentary we can expect whenever Bush gets a mention, we just don't need to hear about him. Honestly guys, I heard more cogent political banter during recess in third grade.

Maybe he's wiretapping our iPods too. Should've given the iPod to some homeless New Orleans kid or to Valerie Plame.
>A chainsaw ? Am I the only one who's thinking "Texas chainsaw massacre"
Tell him it's a new-fangled gas-powered toothbrush.
A chainsaw ? Am I the only one who's thinking "Texas chainsaw massacre" ? :D
