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.

Agreed. The bloody whiners should have had fully-charged batteries. It is HIS plane, after all.

How many other ways does the Vice-President get priority over reporters on his own plane? Answer: IN EVERY WAY!

Maybe reporters should plan ahead and take an extra battery or two.

And how do the head up their ass reports know he wasn't listening to intelligence briefings recorded for his iPod?

Cheney was actually helping the War effort by delaying the reporters underminement articles by a few precious hours.

So, iPod or not to iPod? I don't understand. Why are iPod's such a big deal. It can store lots of tunes? Is that it?
On the other hand, if it did upset the reporters on Air Force Two, I am delighted.
PS: Saw a flight of three Hawkeye-like planes flying south over Arlington, VA at around 9 AM eastern. Anyone know anything about that?

This happened almost a week ago. This reporterette from ABC-Jazeera is rehashing what the AP-Jazeera reporterette Nedra Pickler complained about, since Pickler was the one that had to wait in line behind the iPod recharge!!

It is not possible to laugh at the whiney tone of the story. These people are absolute as*holes!
To: teddyballgame
Shows how stupid the media is. They could have filed their stories AND allowed Cheney to charge his iPod. They could have just plugged the iPod into one of their laptops and it would have charged.
