Is Bush Wired?

Re: Is Bush Wired?
That's really interesting. That's what I was wondering watching him during the debate - Please Note: I am not saying it is undoubedly true - I just thought that often during the debate he seemed like he had extra long pauses as if waiting for someone to tell him something.

That could explain those long pauses and seemingly dazed, vacant look in his eyes. But I think he would have done a much better job if Rove had been whispering in his ear.

Interesting, but who did he have talking into the thing? Elmer Fudd? Well, Well, uh,uh, um.

It could of been wiring that connects him with the Secret Service.

They were taking about this on Howard Stern either today or yesterday (all the day just seems to run into one another)
I wonder too....they were talking about an earpiece & a website that was showing the pics. Not that I think it is ture or not true...I wasn't there, but with the technology of Photoshop you gotta wonder about these pics.

Bush camp comments on mystery bulge
With speculation swirling that Bush was wired during the first presidential debate, it was probably only a matter of time before the Bush team would have to respond. If the president wasn't set up to channel Rovian assistance for an hour and a half of unscripted back and forth, is there a another explanation for that mysterious bulge that the cameras picked up in the back of Bush's suit?
Rory O'Connor at Media Channel.org successfully reached Mark McKinnon, the Bush campaign's media director, for comment.
'I love this. Am tempted to say, 'I cannot confirm or deny,' and let the story get some legs,' McKinnon responded by email to O'Connor's inquiry. (As a top media operative for Bush, McKinnon should probably know that the story has already run a marathon through the blogosphere.) 'Or, how about, 'Since we put the metal plate in his head, we have had some measure of success with audio transmissions to the President.' Or, 'Yeah, but it clearly broke down during the debate.' Unfortunately, the truth is not nearly as interesting. The answer is, 'The President has never been assisted by any audio signal.''
While McKinnon was not without a sense of humor in denying the existence of any audio aid, it's intriguing that he said nothing about what that odd little bulge actually might have been.
With an official denial now on record, O'Connor wonders if anyone who can prove otherwise will step forward: 'Any media professionals -- like the 'top Washington editor for Reuters' who reportedly told 'isbushwired' last spring that 'Sure, Bush uses an earpiece sometimes. State of the Union -- he had an earpiece for that. Everybody knows it.' -- please identify yourselves.'

On Best Week Ever they showed Cheney (like the devil on bush's shoulder) and said that Bush stammered so much because there was a 7 second delay on the earpiece!

Oh god!
You have GOT to be kidding me.
Jim and I were just talking about how QUICK Bush answered those questions from the mediator and how Kerry wouldnt say yes or no.. he drag on and then Bush would have to reply.
Whatever.. smear media at it's best.

I don't know if this has any validity to it, but it's pretty interesting...
Is Bush Wired?
During that debate .. I said to my husband that he sounded almost as if he's waiting for someone to tell him what to say .. that it sounded like he's wired .. later in the debate we noticed what the photo shows .. and even my husband then thought he was wired .. and he's a Bush supporter.
Doesn't matter .. because he was still lousy .. maybe they didn't go with Durcell batteries!!
