..... Obama gave the Queen an ipod. And all indications are that she liked it. (Because the Queen loves the boogie.) http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jYUcmwGRA3ma_hwjWQq7EagwYiTwD979UI2G1

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

13. The only gaffe might be that she already had one |
|
though the one Obama gave her might be an upgrade.

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:

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.

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!

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. :)

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.

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.
