Billmon: High Fidelity

Color me cynical (with a heavy base coat of paranoid) but am I the only one who suspects the White House might have had an ulterior PR motive in "leaking" George Jr.'s iPod list?

I know: What a horrible thing to say about the fine, upstanding pod people who run the White House communications shop. But still, this bit of pseudo-news definitely has the same feel to it as the late Lee Atwater's leak to Time magazine that old man Bush's favorite snack food was pork rinds.
