Wonkette on the President's Joystick

Well, not literally. As far as we know.

While the President's iPod has been getting all the press this week, a Wonkette.com reader says it's not even Dubya's favorite digital entertainment device. Normally, we'd be wary of passing along unsubstantiated rumors of a non-sexual nature. But since a New York magazine writer says Sy Hersh says it's O.K. to say stuff in public lectures that you wouldn't say in print, just pretend you're at a public lecture and that Sy Hersh, rather than an anonymous Wonkette.com reader, is telling you this:

"My friend told ME that the secret service agent's sister told HIM that the secret service agent told HER that the president spends two hours a day every day playing video games. So part of everybody's daily routine at the white house are these two hours of downtime while POTUS manipulates his joystick."

I do get tired of braying about the double standard here - When Bill Clinton had Monica manipulate HIS joystick, it led to impeachment. So where is the outrage about the current POTUS -- the most powerful man in the world -- wasting two hours a day manipulating his own? Does SpongeDob know about this?
