Photos and following excerpts from this article in today's Salon.com. And as I point out to someone who observes that it's unlikely GWB will be wearing anything allowing such a device to be visible, ever again: Maybe he'll be wearing a puffy down parka, tonight.
Oct. 13, 2004 Speculation continues to run wild about President Bush's mystery bulge. Since Friday, when Salon first raised questions about the rectangular bulge that was visible under Bush's suit coat during the presidential debates, many observers in the press and on the Internet have wondered aloud whether the verbally and factually challenged president might be receiving coaching via a hidden electronic device.
Now a technical expert who designs and makes such devices for the U.S. military and private industry tells Salon that he believes the bulge is indeed a transceiver designed to receive electronic signals and transmit them to a hidden earpiece lodged in Bush's ear canal.
"There's no question about it. It's a pretty obvious one -- larger than most because it probably has descrambling capability," said Alex Darbut, technical and business development vice president for Resistance Technology in Arden Hills, Minn. Darbut examined photographs of the president's back taken from the Fox News video feed at the first presidential debate in Coral Gables, Fla., as well as 2002 photos of the president driving and working in a T-shirt on his Crawford ranch, which were posted on the White House Web site.
On Tuesday, the New York Daily News produced a master tailor named Frank Shattuck who, after viewing photos from both debates, confirmed, "There's definitely something there, in between the shoulder blades. I can't say what it is, but it's not hidden very well. They should have come to me. I can hide a pistol under the breast."
FYI, you can offer Paula Zahn your opinion about George W. Bush's bulge by going here--the poll is along the left side of Paula's page.
Oh, and tonight's debate begins at 9 p.m., Eastern Time, runs for ninety minutes, will be moderated by crusty old reporter Bob Schieffer from CBS News, and will concentrate on topics of domestic policy, e.g. the economy, unemployment, health care, education.
Yes, let's be watching George's back, tonight.
