Salon.com News Bush's mystery bulge

there's been a story that's been making the rounds lately. the link is above. its aobut this mysterious bulge on bush's back. it clearly looks like he has something under his coat, and many have speculated that he was using an earpiece to have lines fed to him last week. I was somewhat skeptical about this because this is pretty difficult to do in a debate format. of course, that may be the point. he did an awful job. part of the scuttlebutt on this has to do with a point in this debate where Bush was talking and, while not being interrupted by anyone else, began to talk to a mystery person...demanding 'can i finish?' at a time when no one was talking to him. odd.

Anyway, this article points out a few things that make me wonder:

Suggestions that Bush may have been using this technique stem from a D-day
event in France, when a CNN broadcast appeared to pick up -- and broadcast to surprised viewers -- the sound of another voice seemingly reading Bush his lines, after which Bush repeated them. Danny Schechter, who operates the news site MediaChannel.org, and who has been doing some investigating into the wired-Bush rumors himself, said the Bush campaign has been worried of late about others picking up their radio frequencies -- notably during the Republican convention on the day of Bush's appearance. "They had a frequency specialist stop me and ask about the frequency of my camera," Schechter said. "The Democrats weren't doing that at their convention."

Friday's debate went better for him. i have to wonder if anyone else saw the bulge under his coat last night. i thought i did.
