Did Rachel just pull an April 1st on us?!

Obama gave the queen an iPod?!
:rofl:

[Clio the Leo]

1. No.....

..... Obama gave the Queen an ipod.

And all indications are that she liked it.

(Because the Queen loves the boogie.)

8. i think it's a nice gift, something practical she'd enjoy

what had me in stitches was that photo of the queen listening to her iPod.

[valerief]

2. I wondered the same thing!!!! It looked so photoshopped.

Then again, Obama gave some head of state DVDs. Can't remember who.

[babylonsister]

3. Haha! Your reaction made me laugh! It's twue! Such a gaffe, too! ...

6. i think some members of the press forget that the queen is a ....

human being. :wow:

[dflprincess]

13. The only gaffe might be that she already had one

though the one Obama gave her might be an upgrade.

[babylonsister]

15. Have you ever made a CD for a friend? As bad or good it might be,

they appreciated you making the effort. I think this gift was cool. And what could you really give rich, haughty, old people? :shrug:

[dflprincess]

I wish there was an icon for being facetious

as I was trying to be.

I don't think the gift was a gaffe. I think it's neat the Queen has had one - my Mom's only a year older than the Queen I wish she kept up with technology this way. I know I read somewhere the Queen also really likes Wii and pretty much took over one that belonged to one of her grandchildren.

[babylonsister]

20. Whoa! I heard about wii, but have no clue how to use it. I'm impressed!

I did hear Norah O'Donnell say today, cattily, 'maybe her grandkids will use it'. How dumb was that? I think it's neat the Queen probably loves this!

[shireen]

23. i wonder if she's on facebook ....

my mom recently joined facebook. :scared:

[dflprincess]

17. self delete - dupe

[Bad Thoughts]

4. IPod and Signed Richard Rogers Song Book

She gave them an autographed portrait of herself in a silver frame.

[shireen]

5. ok, apparently Obama really did give her an iPod

I think that photo of the queen listening to it had to be a joke.
Subtle ... clever, Rachel. :)

[baldguy]

7. Maybe he should leave the gift selections to Michelle.

[firedupdem]

12. Maybe they know what they are doing??/

9. Hmm, perhaps...

[Cali_Democrat]

18. LOL

:rofl:

[shireen]

24. OMG! That's PERFECT!

Thanks, i'm in stitches again! :rofl:

[itsrobert]

10. What's an iPod?

And what's up with the capital "P" on the second letter?

[Occam Bandage]

11. It's a small, portable electronic device intended

to assist the Pod People in spreading their evil seeds across Earth. The strange spelling is because they do not quite understand the conventions of English orthography.

[MiniMe]

14. And ipod that was preloaded with videos and pics of her visit to the US in 2007, PLUS

the autographed Rogers thing. Something that is apparently very rare. The press has conveniently left those things out.

[bdamomma]

16. I wonder if Sasha and Malia had something to do with the present.

hey Mom, give the Queen an iPod!!!!!

[Connie_Corleone]

19. The Queen WANTED a VIDEO ipod. She only had an audio ipod before.

GOOD GRIEF!

[Yavin4]

21. All Queens Get IPods Now?

WTF?

[LynnTheDem]

22. Imagine that! A US President giving the Queen of England a gift SHE'D REQUESTED!

OH MAH FUCKIN' GAWD!!1!




















ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!

[shireen]

25. it's a nice gift

i was reacting to Rachel's photo of the queen wearing the iPod. Sorry, i should have been clearer ....

[Harry Monroe]

26. Meh, better than a set of steak knives!

[Norrin Radd]

27. I wish someone would give me an Ipod. Expensive.
