So was it a receiver to make him sound intelligent?
More importantly - if it was why did he not bother to use it!? Bush's bulge stirs media rumours A bulge in the back of President George W Bush's suit jacket during the first TV debate with John Kerry has triggered rumours that he was wired to get help. Internet websites alleged the apparent bulge, during last week's debate in Miami, was a radio receiver feeding him answers from an offstage aide. The Bush campaign dismissed the claims, saying it was just a wrinkle in the presidential jacket. It also denied some web reports that Mr Bush was wearing a bullet-proof vest. "People have been spending too much time dealing with Internet conspiracies. It's ridiculous," Bush campaign manager Scott Stanzel was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency. Another campaign official said it was nothing more than a question of tailoring. "There was nothing under his suit jacket," Nicolle Devenish, the Bush campaign's communications director, told the New York Times newspaper. "It was most likely a rumpling of that portion of his suit jacket, or a wrinkle in the fabric," Ms Devenish added. President Bush's tailor later said that the bulge was nothing more than a pucker along the jacket's back seam, according to the Seattle Times newspaper. Georges de Paris, who made the suit worn by Mr Bush, said the bulge was accentuated when the president crossed his arms and leaned forward

I'm not the one to defend Bush normally, but I find it kinda hard to believe that the president of the United States couldn't come up with a less bulky device for something as simple as (very) short range radio transmission, when I can buy a Walkie that fits in my shirt's pocket for 19.95$ [img]graemlins/uhoh2.gif[/img]

That's a general link to the site, DBear, and did not show anything other than other links.
But, I agree with the sentiment. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] Any of you hippies out there who don't know what wrinkles in the back of a suit jacket look like should try getting a job for a change of pace. |

That's a weird-looking spine. He should go see a chiropractor. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm with Faceman... Don't we have, you know, spies? Don't they need to communicate with each other on their spy missions? Am I supposed to honestly believe that this bulky box was the best method of transmission our government could come up with?

The liberals just have to complain about everything he does. If he has something that looks strange, it's automaticaly something that shouldn't be. You can't make some people happy, no matter what you try.
