iPod Disclosure
Likely US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is the latest US politician to reveal the contents of her iPod (a gift from husband Bill), in what seems to be becoming a standard form of political disclosure. In the future, in addition to disclosing investments, academic record, and other pieces of information, will all candidates be required to submit their iTunes playlists for public scrutiny?
I haven’t been able to find the full list anywhere online, but the news summaries of Hillary’s tunes suggest she hasn’t got bad taste - lots of Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Motown. Certainly seems to be a substantial improvement on the current First iPod of George W Bush. I’m not sure if I would want to know the contents of Australia’s leaders iPods. I wouldn’t be too surprised if PM John Howard has one, considering the amount of power walking he does, but the contents might be a little too scary for me (Slim Dusty, anyone?). Peter Costello (was was looking very comfortable in the Prime Ministerial chair the other day) might have a much cooler list. And I certainly wouldn’t hold my breath on Kim Beazley’s list being very interesting at all.
