George Bush's Favorite iPad App Revealed (VIDEO)

President George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush may be BlackBerry addicts, but Apple's iPad is their new must-have gadget.

In an interview for Yahoo's Newsmakers series, Laura Bush said her husband "loves" his iPad.

"He reads the Wall Street Journal on it in the morning before the paper even is thrown," she noted.

And his favorite app?

"Scrabble is the one that George now seems to be playing constantly," she said. "Like, I'm trying to get his attention; 'I'm still here.'"

Laura Bush said she has a Kindle and BlackBerry, but the iPad is at the top of her gadget wishlist: "I'm hoping for an iPad for my birthday. It's coming up next week."

"I love reading on [the Kindle],"she said. "I love being able to make the font larger. At my age, it's really nice to be able to have that."

It's still RIM over Apple when it comes to smartphones, however. "We're both always on our BlackBerrys," Laura Bush remarked.

Scrabble is one of my favorites but I don't believe anything that anyone in that family says...ever. Nothing.

If he gets good at Scrabble, maybe he'll start using real words instead of making them up.

Further proof the iPad is for du.mmies who can't be trusted with a piece of technology.

Come on Laura you meant Scramble not Scrabble. Folks will have a hard time w/the former POTUS being capable at Scrabble.

But she did say that she tries to get his attention so maybe it takes him a few days to form a word & figure out what the difference between triple letter & triple word means.

Maybe he's not playing scrabble at all maybe he's found the girly sites.

Does George's Ipad come with a string? Does it quack when the arrow hits the duckie?

He should just take the thing and shove it up his butt. He's not smart enough to own one. He should then be handcuffed and sent to prison.

I figured his favorite app would be one that showed him looking at his iPad.

I'm surprised.

I would have thought his fav would be 'Find My Brain'.

You would think that someone who reads like he does could construct and read a coherent sentence.
