WASHINGTON, Dec. 22, 2005 — After a four-day overseas trip that took him to four countries in the Middle East, Vice President Dick Cheney really wanted to get his iPod charged for that long return flight to Washington.
Since it is his plane, the vice president's iPod took priority and was plugged into one of the only working power outlets on Air Force Two, frustrating reporters who were trying to file stories.

How about the time our mostest favoritest president, Pres. Clinton parked his butt on the tarmack for a long time to get his hair cut and made thousand of people wait. I don't remember to much coverage in the MSM about this and them bellyaching about it.
It's the VP's plane people.

Let the reporters bring thir own power sources if they want to publish their lies from the air. You get decent portable models for 75 bucks or less. Infact, the MSM should be forced to fly on their corporate planes. Why should the taxpayer pay for their junkets?

Judging from this story, they didn't have much to report, so no great loss. Let the VPOTUS recharge his iPod.

Why are iPod's such a big deal. It can store lots of tunes? Is that it?They can also store audio books and audio recordings of meetings, etc. Maybe that's it....

This is what passes for news from the MSM. No doubt it is intended to make the VP look mean and petty.

Perhaps the other outlet was charging the Vice-President's laptop. :)

Bingo! LMAO at the whole thing.
Do these guys really want me to believe that none of these presstitutes had a little extension cord in their laptop bags, to act as a power splitter? Idiots if so. Actually, idiots in any case.

AP's Nedra Pickler had a whine fest about this a few days ago.
