Playlist Politics
May 28, 2006 2:00 AM

Sign this article up for one of the dumbest mix of music and politics. Jacob Weisberg at Slate picks apart Hillary Clinton's iPod playlist and determines that she's a fake:

Hillary Clinton is the least spontaneous of politicians, and this playlist suggests premeditation, if not actual poll-testing. She first indicates that she basically likes everything before coming to roost on classic rock and soul, which any baby boomer must identify with, lest she or he be branded terminally uncool. Hillary avoids, however, anything too racy, druggie, or aggressive, while naming tunes that are empowering and inspirational.

Whereas, W, the Prez "doesn't worry about being politically correct or care what other people think of him. He likes to listen to white guys singing country and rock and doesn't care if Jerry Falwell objects to some of the lyrics."

WHATEVER on Jacob Weisberg!
