Now that we've peeked at Obama's iPod, how about McCain's? Here's an imagined playlist for those long and tedious Baghdad airport landing spirals:
"I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo" -- Glenn Miller Orchestra
"Over There" -- George M. Cohan
"A Whiter Shade of Pale" -- Willie Nelson
"I Tied an Onion to my Belt, Which Was the Style at the Time" -- The
Grampa Simpson Quartet
"Danger Zone (Top Gun theme)" -- Kenny Loggins
"Welcome to the Occupation" -- R.E.M.
"I'm not Angry" -- Elvis Costello
"Barbara Ann" -- The Beach Boys (Tehran mix)
"I'm Going to Crush Obama" -- McCain Girl (unreleased)
"Flight of the Valkyries" -- Richard Wagner
P.S. A DailyKos diarist has a funny, old-timey take on this theme. This is funny, too.
