    Bush jr. had it for a while. I lost my shit when he admitted he pirated the beetles songs on the news when he talked about his iPod.

        Oh dude your gonna make me find this. It was towards the end of his presidency. Pirates were the only ones that recognized it because it was unreleased Beatles songs.

        Edit: it was infact a longer version of this where Bush Jr. calls one of the secret service agents “dude”. E.g. “can you get me my iPod dude.”

        Edit 2: here’s a more reliable source then “trust me bro” https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2006/05/beatles-gw-bush-and-apple-computer

            Yeah I forgot too. I think I kind of oversold it but it was still funny with online communities. I remembered people saying if, “Bush can pirate music I can too.”
