She liked the songs before she listened to them

Okay, this is stupid.

The senator from New York responded that she has the Beatles and the Rolling Stones on the white iPod that her husband gave her for a birthday present, along with Motown and classical music. She then rattled off a list of songs: the Beatles "Hey Jude," Aretha Franklin's, "Respect," the Eagles "Take It to the Limit," and U2's "Beautiful Day." 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.

You know that this is calculated and not an honest playlist because Hillary Clinton is "the least spontaneous of politicians." How do you know that she is the least spontaneous of politicians? Why, by looking at her iPod, silly. The circular logic is breathtaking. My parents (who are Hillary's age) listen to the same music...that's because they're both running for President. Why else would they like this music?
Are you telling me that a baby boomer has classic rock and Motown on her iPod? Horror of horrors! I mean, I have Modest Mouse and Jay-Z on my iPod, I'm clearly just pandering to the tastes of 25 year olds. There is literally no other explaination.
