Bush Demands Apple Recount

*no comment* writes "In what may be one of the funniest things since MSN's site saying iMac is the best computer, Apple's news site picked up a story from crazyapplerumors about how George Bush is demanding a recount an Al Gore's election to the Apple board." Rumor sites bad, parody sites good. Remember that the next time you ask for a press pass to Macworld.

    If Gore is an "avid Mac User," what the hell is he doing using Final Cut Pro?

      Because he is sick of watching the 'symphony' through 'windows!'

    Steve Jobs is a outspoken democrat, I suspect he highly approves of this :)

    Any joke is funny because it has a basis in fact, however tenuous.

    I'm a Republican as a whole and a conservative all the time, black, and a Macintosh user. I find the link and the article very funny, just as many of us would giggle when we hear the word "chad" nowandays.

    And, folks, given the events going on in the world, can't we all use a laugh about a nonsense item like this? Apple isn't in the business of making us laugh or giving commentary about world events, so this small nod to humor is a way to make us smile a bit and remember when life was a little simpler.

    The only thing that would be funnier is getting Al Gore's tongue-in-cheek response back in turn: "Dibs, George. And, by the way, your AppleCare warranties appear to have expired..."

    Must be the chads.
