What's the Frequency, Karl?

Rumors are circulating on the Internet that Bush was wired for sound duing the first two debates. It's gone so far that the White House is having to deny it. It sounds too unbelievable to be true, but it does explain all the weird pauses before Bush started answering questions.


Note what looks like a rectangular bulge and some sort of wire coming off of it. The photo is not doctored, as the bulge is clearly visible in the TV footage. A similar bulge appears in footage of the second debate. So far the White House reaction has been pathetic, suggesting it was a "wrinkle" and trying to laugh it off. Andrew Card said "maybe his suit had a little lump in it or something." Huh?

They've also confirmed that Bush was not wearing a bullet-proof vest at the debate.
