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.

Crying shame he couldn't tell these reporters something similar to what I have been known to tell my teenage children when they complained about stuff at "my house".
You don't like it. Leave. Get off my stinking plane. Here's the chute. Go.

Well, you know, The elite, effete, media, who
consider themselves *so* much more evolved...
Find it fascinating that a Republican, much more
so, that Bush %& Cheney, would know how to
operate something as "new and cool" as an I-Pod....
To: A.A. Cunningham
AP AND ABC News whining!!! Beautiful. I can imaging how these two sounded on the plane together. As the Vice President came back from Iraq while visitng the troops. Quiet a contrast.

If the writers asked for the plug and begging by licking his shoes, maybe he would have shared it. Why not ask?

Poor little liberals. They didn't have an outlet on Cheney's jet so they could file their "reports."
When will the hate end, man? When will Booshitler regime end the occupation? :)

Oh, this is SO unintentionally hilarious, and a great insight into what reporters think of themselves.

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. No way I would plug MY iPod into one of thier computers. I would hope that Cheney wouldn't either.

I agree the reporters are stupid, but at least this shows they are stupid enough to try touch the VP's iPod, much less plug it into a USB port of their laptops, where they would have access to the contents.

We know what Cheney thinks of the Media, a bunch of Major Leaguers.

Of course the Vice President's iPod takes outlet priority. Knuckleheads.
