Obama Gives Queen iPod Loaded With His Speeches
First he gave the British PM a box of crappy DVD’s that won’t play on European machines. Now he’s given the Queen of England an iPod.
Thankfully, he opted for an engraved version and at least had the forethought to upload a few things like…
- Photos from the Queen’s 2007 White House State Visit
- Photos from the Queen’s 2007 Jamestown, Va., Visit
- Photos from the Queen’s 2007 Richmond, Va., Visit
- Video from the Queen’s 1957 Jamestown Visit
- Video from the Queen’s 2007 Jamestown Visit
- Video from the Queen’s 2007 Richmond Visit
- Photos from President Obama’s Inauguration
- Audio of then-state senator Obama’s speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and
- Audio of President Obama 2009 Inauguration Address
I bet her majesty can’t wait to listen to Obama’s speeches on her shiny new iPod.
Unfortunately, Obama’s crack research team failed to uncover the fact that the Queen already has an iPod. But even if she didn’t, who the fuck gives the Queen of England an iPod? Is he serious?
What else does president Obama have in his gift bag this trip? Is he going to hand out a few Nintendo Wii’s and maybe a Macbook or two as well?
I bet the Russian president would get a kick out of playing Call of Duty: World At War.

Queen Of England Strip Mugabe Of Knighthood?
The NY Times is reporting today that Queen Elizabeth II has officially stripped Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe of his honory knighthood. The British foreign office says the move was a “mark of revulsion” for his African dictator’s “abject disregard” for Democracy.
The question that really needs to be answered here is how in the hell was Robert Mugabe granted Knighthood? Are they just handing that title out to just anyone these days? The Brits claim he was given Knighthood during a state visit in 1994 when “conditions in Zimbabwe were quite different.”
I’m not sure what “conditions” they’re referring to, but Robert Mugabe has been a vicious third world dictator since the day he took office.
I’m not blaming Britain for having relations with his government, but it’s pretty incredible that a thug like Mugabe would be given Knighthood. Maybe they should have given Knighthood to Mobutu Sese Seko, and other African strong men as well.
