Poll question: What was the rectangular lump on Bush's back during the debates?

Hump? What hump?

1. It was an air freshener dispenser.

They knew he was gonna be tossing bullshit around liberally and they are still trying to convince America their shit don't stink.

4. Flame me, call me naive, whatever

I don't think there was a lump. Backs are bony, shoulders are bony, movement causes fabric to pull and stretch, and a two dimensional representation of a three dimensional world will always be flawed. I think that this story and others like it are silly, and hurt us when we try to debate from solid facts.

Just my two cents, so flame away.

5. If you run the image through Photoshop, and adjust the levels......

The lump is obviously a rectangular box with a cable or antenna protruding from the top.

This is some sort of device.....not a wrinkle.

9. I don't see and antenna

I do see an odd line between the lower portions of his shoulder blades. I don't know that much about men's suits, but if you hunch your shoulders (like Shrub was the entire freaking debate!) it pulls on the fabric and depending on the weave of the fabric it might wrinkle a bit. Hunched shoulders would also explain that curve you see, shoulder blades are funny looking bones.

Shrub being caught with a wire would be glee inducing, but a few seconds worth of frames is not going to convince me.

BTW not all of us out here have Photoshop. I'm a bio major and have no reason to spend over $300 on software I'll rarely if ever use.

10. Well.....

I understand not everyone has Photoshop, that is why I took the time to lighten it up it and put it on the WWW internets.

If, after viewing that photo, you think it is a wrinkle, or part of the chimp's anatomy, well.....OK by me!

[Lizz612]

11. Well thank you.

I agree that its open to interpretation. I doubt this will ever be fully resolved.

6. I heard through the news it was a $4000 suit? Wrinkles????? NOT

7. Cheney's hand up Shrub's #$%

8. Theory: It was a HOLTER MONITOR

Possible Explanation: Weewee has been having heart palpitations because he did not study for the first of three final exams before the American people...and this is why he delayed his physical. They are trying to see if he has any heart issues, so he wears the monitor so they can look at his heart performance over a period of several days.

12. A tumor

13. Who is that idiot attached to that lump?

ThatÕs the question.
