Whatever Bush had under his jacket, it will be gone next week.

[Jackpine Radical]

I have no idea what the mystery object is--whether it's a radio receiver, a flak jacket or a gyroscope that keeps him from falling down, but I'm betting that it will be gone next week. People have spotted it (Faux first betrayed him by putting a camera behind him in the 1st debate) and will be watching for it, so it won't be there. Rove isn't going to chance any more speculation on the topic, so he will either go without whatever it is or they will do a massive re-design & shove it up his ass or something. But it won't be visibly there in the next debate. Count on it.

1. why wasnt it gone this week.

they knew about it. i dont get why they did it again. unless bush is just so hopeless they dont have a choice, and that is just fuckin too pathetic

[Wapsie B]

2. I don't think they have a choice.

To let him run free would be total disaster.

[noamnety]

3. I don't know

I was shocked it was there this week, I was sure it would be moved after the internet speculation.

Maybe they'll pad it with 15 sweaters cut and taped to his back or something. I think he's too far gone for them to send him out without it, he would be worse than at the first debate, and something catastrophic might happen.

4. he had it on last nite too??

I tried to look for but I didn't notice. They truly are the most demented group in the universe.

[papau]

13. With 2 debates and 2 bumps on the back, do we expect a 3rd next week?

[Gman]

5. I didn't see it last night

in one of those camera shots from behind which, to me, no doubt was to see if he had the bulge again.

[napi21]

6. That pic was from the 1st debate. Did anyone see anything last night?

Ilooked, but I must admit, I didn't really scrutinize each shot. I agree, it would have been a really stupid move on the Pubs part to try the same thing again.

I have no idea what caused that bulge, but I'm still having a real hard time believing it was wired to shrubs ear. How in the hell could he have done that bad WITH a coach?

[bushisanidiot]

12. The voice talking in his ear threw him off.. thats why he did "better" i

n the 2nd debate (even though he still gave non-answers)

[Kazak]

19. Yeah, that's what's so funny about the whole thing...

He actually does better whithout the stupid thing!

What a sorry worm.

[BUSHOUT]

7. OMG.... still talking about the mysterious debate picture anomaly?

I'm done being polite about this item.

Get a life.

[seabeyond]

9. why, they have declared neither bush or kerry fitted with a

microphone pak. it wasnt a fold and bushco said he wasnt wearing a protective jacket

so you tell me what the lump in his back is. oh,.......one aide said it was bush's backbone. am i suppose to buy that one

what do you mean get a life

[BUSHOUT]

11. I mean it's over, and there's nothing to be gained by harping on it.......

Not to mention there's NO evidence. It's a waste of time.

THAT'S IT! THIS IS MY LAST POST ON THE STUPID EARPIECE THEORY!!!
No offence to you, seabeyond. I'm just snappin' over here and deciding to abjure this subject. Unless someone replies to me I'm out.

Everytime I try to get out they keep PULLING ME BACK IN!!!

[BUSHOUT]

16. You think they'd tell everyone he's wearing a vest w/ rifle packs? Hello..

Why don't they just say "Hey everyone! Bush is afraid of the nice folks at the debate!!"

Give yer head a shake man/girl.

[bushisanidiot]

24. ROFL! Why the hell would AWOL wear a rifle pack?

he'd shoot his lame brain eye out..

i think you're grasping at straws, buddy.

[havocmom]

8. Nah, they'll tape it to the inside of his leg

We need to make sure there is a jammer nearby in case the SS doesn't jam as a preventative for cell phone triggered devices.

[Gabi Hayes]

10. when they shake hands, Kerry should pat him on the back up there

and ask him either, what's that THING on your back, 41?

or

where's that THING that was on your back last week?

I'd give R/L nut to hear that exchange

[mcg]

14. Bush the talking doll

That's basically what he is, someone pulls the string and he talks, if you can call it that, repeating the same phrases again and again, just like a talking doll.

Someone should make one.

[NJCher]

15. funny

Immediately after he was selected, I called puppet manufacturers and suggested it would be a hit to issue a bush puppet.

I knew we were in trouble when they didn't "get it."

[BUSHOUT]

18. bump that. Make a bush pull-string doll repeating dumb talking points!

I'd buy one.

[DemBones DemBones]

17. It'll be something to look for alright. nt

[gauguin57]

20. No it won't. It's just his WINGS!

[DemBones DemBones]

21. So what about his moodswings, Jackpine?

Do you have an opinion on what meds he's on? He was so wired and angry last night. One columnist described him as a verbally abusive husband, not a wife beater but a browbeater.

[0rganism]

22. They'll put it in his codpiece instead

Hey, if it worked on the aircraft carrier, it can work in a debate!

[Jackpine Radical]

23. Heh. Heh. You'd think

one talking prick on the stage would be enough.
