"he has a good amount of music from the 1940s and 1950s and apparently is fond of Johnny Cash."

I knew Big Time kicked butt for a reason...

Why do those press jerks get a free ride on our airplane anyway?

[TexasTransplant]

Reporters need to find there own transportation

TT

It's good to be King.....or in this case Vice-King.........

[Deguello]

You think Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit is on the play list?

They don't get a free ride. Every AF1 and AF2 seat not occupied by an official on official business is paid for, typically at a First Class fare for an equivalent commercial itinerary. The campaign or the RNC paid for Bush and Cheney's own seats when they traveling on campaign trips last year.

I always carry an octopus and a very short multi-outlet extension cord with me when I've got electronic devices, but apparently nobody in the press corps has that sort of foresight.

[capydick]

Gotta love it.......

Reporters "Walk the line"

But when Cheney said his iPod needed to be recharged, it took precedent above all else and dominated one precious outlet for several hours.

It's HIS damned plane while he's VP, the journalists can shut the hell up and start packing spare batteries

Good for him!!! Tell the press to put some ice on it...

[BlueStateDepression]

But of course, the VICE PRESIDENT of the United States Should stand down in his preparedness and allow Godlike reporters to file their reports. They are soooooo much more important than the VICE PRESIDENT.

Unbelievable it is, simply astounding the arrogance of these folks!

[John Jorsett]

Hmmm. I just remembered that iPods can be recharged via a FireWire port, which most laptops have these days. So did nobody think to plug a laptop into the wall and then plug the iPod into that?

.....dominated one precious outlet for several hours....

Good to be the Big Dog huh?

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

How about they buy some stinkin spare batteries. What a bunch of lame 'ole excuses for professionals.

[systematic]

Maureen Dowd couldn't plug in her electrical appliances?
