I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Frist!
As MUCH as I'd like it to be a wire, it really is a crease in his shirt.
It's not a heart. Not a brain. Not courage. How about this: the thing behind the tie is fucking moron.
Need some wood? I have it right here for ya.
P.S. The guy directly behind Bush frowned the entire debate. Was he constipated or something?
Strutting buffoon?
A tool is behind the tie.
D
Bush as a serious posture problem.
A creased shirt and its ensuing shadow?
a very small pee pee
My God... It's Saddam's gun,
Though, I should add, straw dog wins this contest already. A strutting bufoon indeed.
What's that gray line to the right of the tie?
it's the pull string for the chatty cathy mechanism.
C'mon. It is a crease in his shirt. We don't need to grasp at straws.
The missing WMD!!!
by the way, look at the monkey's expression in that shot, good and long.
it's that "fuck you i'm the preznit" smirk that we'll soon be forgetting.
Much as everyone would like it to be something found under the tinfoil hat, it's a crease in the shirt. The creases in frowny-guy's shirt appear very similar in this image. Still doesn't explain the bulge, though.
That is a shadow. And he would not wear anything in front anyway.
A miserable failure with a crease in his shirt.
Come on, do you really think they'd make a cheating device so obvious after the flap over whatever was on his back during the first debate?
I am gonna let the cat out of the bag. It's a micro phone under Bush tie.
Here's yer wood, right here!
just having fun people. can't even get away with perpetuating a perfectly goood rumor.
We're going to need something a little more conclusive than obscure lines in fuzzy pictures.
What's behind the tie? Why, a wire to feed information into his empty vessel of a brain.
What else could explain his weird battery pack on his back and his continued fidgeting and picking at all the wires feeding his earpiece?
Bush IS wired. And even then, he can't string two words together without fucking one of them up.
Pathetic.
Hey! What the hell are you looking at? You looking at me like my clock ran out or something!
...y'know. He did spend a lot of time checking his jacket button. I remember remarking upon that observation on Friday.
It's an IV line going from the vial of liquid cocaine in his coat pocket straight to his heart.
Can we agree on some expression other than "Bush is wired?" I get confused as to whether we're talking about his monster coke habit or his tele-Rover equipment.
It's Bush tucking in his tie -- so Kerry won't be abe to "sabotage" it, the way he did at the first "debate." Seriously: at least one freeper really believes Kerry, by shaking the eedjit's hand too vigorously and pulling his arm too hard, caused Bush's tie to flop out, giving him an "untidy" appearance which hurt his presentation.
A flask?
just having fun people. can't even get away with perpetuating a perfectly goood rumor.
Atrios
Imagine what the freeps would do if it was on a picture of Kerry. It'd be all over the news tomorrow morning.
Hey, since Bush missed the physical this year (yes, really---again), can't we speculate that the bulge is a medical device? What's he getting pumped into his veins?
Look at those shoulders, though - inordinately straight and sharp. I'd say Georges de Paris is putting a lot of padding in the Chimp's suits these days.
I dunno. I use a neck-loop induction thingie when I use my cell phone with my digital hearing aid. It has a wire that, were Bush wearing something similar under his shirt with the connecting wire coming out and attached to a receiving device on his belt, it would look like that.
look just behind the tie. It's an asshole.
His catheter rode up over his waistband again.
Well, we know it's not a feeding tube for the milk of human kindness.
Though I like Abiel's explanation, and straw dog's, and bluesman's, I think it's actually a colostomy bag.
Does anybody know how to crack the code? I want to over ride the signal and be president for the next debate. I'll probabally play around for the first hour (use the military budget and buy beer). Then maybe I'll get board and just pipe in a high pitched buzzz leaving Bush with an annoying expression for the last part of the debate.
Any hackers out there who can crack the code, contact me.
I really do feel sorry for Major League Baseball. It's been one of Chimp's wishes that someday he could be commish of MLB. I suppose that sometime in 2006 they'll make the announcement.
So America loses when he wins the election and America loses when he's lost the election.
What's behind the tie?
A gibbering idiot, mostly.
.
if you give him better lines to say an better uppers, of course georgie will perform better.
I don't think it's a crease. A video should clear that up.
ANd I did find it strange that he was spending an awful lot of time fixing his shirt/tie during the debate.
...henceforth, all presidential candidates shall debate in the nude.
[Bizarro Atrioverse in which we are freepers and this was Kerry]
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT????
TIE-TUCKING WAS NOT INVENTED UNTIL 2005!!!!
WHAT IS HE HIDING????
WAS IT---A PHILTRE OR AMPULE OF COCAINE TO TEMPT DEAR LEADER WITH????
NOT THAT HE KNOWS WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE
IT WOULD TEMPT ANYONE EVEN A NON ADDICT
Well you might explain away the line beside the tie, but how do you explain the black rectangle beneath his hand? If the dark line is merely a shadow? Hmmm?
Maybe the candidates should go through a metal detector before entering the stage for the 3rd debate...
You know, I had a dream last night that a panel sprang open and he had a short and just stood there blinking at the crowd for about an hour.
I decided I was watching too much sci-fi (this Farscape marathon is killing me - how did I miss this show the first time around?) and went back to sleep.
But fuck it. Conspiracy theories are fun! I think it's probably a thing the alien controlling his brain uses to modulate its temperature. Where's Gary Frazier? Gary, what were those one-eyed octopus things in Babylon 5 called?
*geeks*
A.
Bush was "wired" in the second debate alright. That's what happens when go overboard on mommy's diet pills....
Jennifer, You win.
Eeeeeuuuuhhh.
That picture really makes him look like he's wearing a back brace. His shoulders don't look normal.
Hey, that's the seam where the giant roach creature from MIB climbs in and out!
It looks like a wardrobe malfunction...is that his belly button???
Was he really born?
This "crease in the shirt" argument is just too "obvious."
What a corrupt fraud of a president we have!
I'm pretty sure that's where Servio Bellusconi is hiding his wood.
He fidgeted with his tie (or whatever) wayyy too much during the event. I like the medical theories. Some sorta pump in there?
Behind the tie? Why it's Furious George, the furious little monkey. The question is, where is The Man in the Yellow Hat...?
I don't see anything exceptional here but I sure did see that rectangular object under his coat in the first debate. Did you read where the tailor who made the suit said it was just the seams bunching up! What a great advertisement; does the guy think that will bring him business?
I spent years teaching at various levels and it never worried me much if a bad student sneaked a cheat sheet. A bad student is a bad student and outside help can rarely help him/her to do better.
GWB is a bad student. A very bad student.
And that line in his hair between his part and his ear?
Two words...
Access panel.
Rove needs to get in there to let the echoes out...
Now move along,
Fritz
A pump you say, cc? Kinda like the one that judge resigned over recently (masturbating under his robes with a penis enlargement pump during trial)?
Yeah, sounds plausible with W.
That would be the dookiestain left on the Constitution after a bunch of Greedy Old Prikkks wiped their asses with it.
Is that a clip-on tie? Did Georges of K-mart design it for him?
Behind the tie? I see a stuffed shirt.
It's not a crease. Check the video.
I find the cheat sheet hanging down just behind him highly suspect too.
Guess he can't remember what night it is?
/kidding
does anyone have a link to a picture of the "box-under-the-coat" of the first debate? I guess I was too busy trying to translate his words into english.
innernets
Uh, backup microphone anyone? And a doofus, of course.
My God what a weird place to have the tubing from your colostomy bag
We need the video. Does anyone have it?
Rachel
Bush's Buldge
I found it on one of the nets...www? not sure anymore...GWWWB?
Not the tubing for a colostomy bag - I meant that what is behind the tie (and the shirt) is itself a colostomy bag. As in "a worthless sack of shit."
It looks like a wardrobe malfunction...is that his belly button???
Was he really born?
It's his second belly button. Cuz he's been born again.
bulge...oops
Look at those shoulders, though - inordinately straight and sharp. I'd say Georges de Paris is putting a lot of padding in the Chimp's suits these days.
Southerner
Mmmm Could be. And like i said last night, the "bulge" on his back in #1 could have been caused by the lining(padding?) stretching tight across his shoulders, causing the looser fabric immediately below it in the center of his back to appear to uh, well, bulge.
Note, I'm not saying he wasn't wired; I wouldn't put it past 'em at all. I just can't see 'em being that amateur about it.
And photointerpretation is a very strange and many splendor'd thing
Is it too much to ask the "we don't need to grasp at straws" crowd to understand we don't need any evidence for this little exercise - it's a success if they keep having to address it.
Got it?
...an empty suit.
(that one seems to have been overlooked, for some reason, until now)
And his shoulders are perfectly normal, I think. They just look wide because of his teeny, tiny little head... as my teenage daughters are forever pointing out.
I really do feel sorry for Major League Baseball. It's been one of Chimp's wishes that someday he could be commish of MLB.
CybScryb
Everyone knows Bud Selig is behind the tie, of course!
Geez, Bush: someone worse than Bud.
Or are you talking about something other than the 2002 All-Star Game?!?
Why would it be a surprise to find out he was wired? He's been wired for nearly every public address he's had. He doesn't hold press conferences because Karl Rove doesn't have time.
Hey it could be a dressing covering the wound frm his recent operation to have the 666 removed from his back.
yep, ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag.
CNN headline news ran a quick piece about the first debate and the, is something on his back picture.
Or what was that B-movie where weird alien things got on important peoples backs and controlled them through their spine?
The best thing about this all is it opens Bush to ridicule. Who cares what is on his back. Just ridicule him continuously.
What's behind the tie?
worst.president.ever.
Kerry did pat Bush on the back at the beginning of the debate. I did see that much before I went out.
Was he checking for electronics?
Just ridicule him continuously.
We have a winner!
Doesn't look like a crease or a shadow to me.
I'd like to know whether Bush is cheating for the simple fact that if he is cheating and he's still this bad, it's just one more good reason why we have to vote him out.
Behind the tie? Why it's Furious George, the furious little monkey. The question is, where is The Man in the Yellow Hat...?
Why, he's right here!
Look at those shoulders, though - inordinately straight and sharp.
dat's watcha gitz wen u pays fie gran fo a soot...ax any pimp wuth he hoes...
jennifer, i think i love you
What was the buzzing sound coming from his pants?
Maybe Bush was wearing one of these:
http://accelerated-promotions.co...o-way-
radio.htm
a self centered, spoiled, and rather dim man.
with a small penis.
Interesting question: What would John Q. Public say if it came out that Bush really was wired? Would s/he care? Be angry? Relate?
Perhaps we'll get the chance to find out.
Or what was that B-movie where weird alien things got on important peoples backs and controlled them through their spine?
The best thing about this all is it opens Bush to ridicule. Who cares what is on his back. Just ridicule him continuously.

"The Puppet Masters". B quality film version of the Heinlein novel. Was also done on Outer Limits, back in the '60s. Neither was much good.
OT: After listening to Mike Moore tonight railing against the 90 million dollars Ken Starr spent tracking down where Clenis kept his cigar, I had this sudden epiphany: Monica, the walking (well, kneeling) humidor...
from the BBC article on the buldge in the back:
"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."
Is W wearing French suits? Maybe it's a piece of hard 'fromage.'
Hey why dont Kerry start with some quip like "Hey george why don't you take that jacket off and give us all a twirl so we can see you don't need no pussy boy wire" at the start of the third debate. I bet Bush woulod never rcover from public ridicule like that.
Forget the line on his shirt. The important question is: what's that blue star on his elbow?
Not to be too picky or anything, but
the word is "bulge", as the "The Battle of the Bulge"...Sorry, it's the old English (actually journalism) teacher in me...I just can't help myself
It looks like a crease in his shirt to me. I've worn enough heavily starched white shirts to recognize that.
But that doesn't mean I wouldn't mind having the millions of idiot fence sitters thinking Bush was using a wire and decide to vote Kerry's way because of it.
This election is way too important to leave in the hands of evangelical christians and redknecks who walk around with confederate flags adorning their shirts and pickups.
MYOB'
.
A saggy, unattractive man-boob.
The frowning guy is Secret Service.
Gee, the trolls got to this quick.
It is NOT a crease in his shirt.
Look, douchebags, at the rumpled shirts of the the people behind the chimp.
Those look like wrinkles.
Bush's straight line is a wire.
We need to do a strip search for the next debate.
Seriously: at least one freeper really believes Kerry, by shaking the eedjit's hand too vigorously and pulling his arm too hard, caused Bush's tie to flop out, giving him an "untidy" appearance which hurt his presentation.
Kali:
Unbelievable. Now that's plumbing the depths for a rationalization.

A monkey with a rooster complex?
It's a zucchini wrapped in tinfoil.
It looks like the missing Monster cable I'm missing from my home entertainment center. The thief!
Well, I guess a Zebra just can't change his strips..............
The kerning on the shirt is wrong. I think it's a forgery and he's not really wearing a shirt -- it's paint, just like his socks.
...
The best thing about this all is it opens Bush to ridicule. Who cares what is on his back. Just ridicule him continuously.
G
what, ridicule the chimp about the monkey on his back?
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.
Now what we need are some EXPERTS in tailoring and some photos of men in suits made by George de Paris cross their arms and lean forward to PROVE that there will be NO BULDGE.
I have created a PDF file of photos with and without buldges. We need to appoint an independant commission to review this and if we find out that the media has covered this up. Brit Hume should LOSE HIS JOB!
Hee hee.
It's a wire!! It's a wire!!
Make him deny it!!!
C'mon!!
If they're explaining they're losing.
(Courtesy of Karl Rove...)
scenarios I'd like to see:
Debate 3, JFK and aWol shake hands, JFK pats aWol's back, and says "Mr. moderator, I think we may have a problem, would you ask aWol to take off his jacket" and/or gives a signal to somebody to get to the AC controls, sets it to about 80, JFK takes off his jacket, rolls up his sleeves and aWol just sweats it out, refusing to take off his jacket
a very small pee pee
I remember seeing him on TV recently in shirtsleeves. For some reason the tie he was wearing hung down all the way over his fly. Does the man not know how to dress himself, or what?
$5,000 suits shouldn't have any bulges. It must kill his tailor to have to say it did.
I think they'll bug his underwear next. Look for crotch pulls in the next debate.
What tie?
The democrats always metion ties when they are losing.
Now let's watch the terror alert change colors.
...gives a signal to somebody to get to the AC controls, sets it to about 80, JFK takes off his jacket, rolls up his sleeves and aWol just sweats it out, refusing to take off his jacket
preznit giv me turkee
Probably why the A/C-Heating is mentioned in the Rules of Engagement for the debates...
Why was the man seated behind Bush frowning for the duration of the debate?
he knew that, no matter how desperately he MUST leap from his chair and administer a savage, brutal asskicking to Chimpy, he know that the Secret Service would gun him down before he could even kick Chimpy once in the groin.
G. Goober - actually, the temp requirements were put in there by Bush's folks - they wanted to keep things warm so Kerry would sweat (like he did at the convention). Hasn't worked out for them.
He's tightening his corset strings in order to keep his "saggy, unattractive man boobs" in place.
Karl Rove morphing into the leech we know he really is.
Wired like John Belushi.
But that looks like a shadow.
I'm not clear on why all the fuss about bulges on his back and wires behind his tie. If Bushco wanted Bush "wired" during the debate, he'd be wired--and no one would be able to see it. There are microscopic receivers/neural implants/nano-earphones, whatever the technologies involved are called, that would permit Bush to wear a radio and a hearing device without detection. Perhaps he's been wearing them with Rove (or someone, Karen Hughes?) in his ear during public appearances for his whole political career.
It starts to look like the Bush campaign wanted us to see the bulge, the wire; maybe they think it's funny how the left never misses a trick, but . Bushco , so rather than wondering whether Bush is wearing a wire during the debate, assume he's violating the rules of the game with every move he makes, whether it's plainly visible on the surface, or not. What do experts in this field of technology have to say about whether or not these devices could be so small, or low profile, that they would be not be visible on the wearer of them?
What if this is true and Bush was wearing an communication device during the debates? What would be the consequences?
It's a shiv!!
Gibson was lucky to escape with his life!!
Mayeb the return of Hypno-Tie from his April press conference?
It is the tube from his SOMA dispenser running directly into his carotid vein so he can keep a sunny, outlook unbothered by the facts. Bush was decanted as a Gamma plus submoron, originally intended for life as a window cleaner. Now he is a window dresser.
Better yet, what is behind those eyes?
If undetectable, sub-miniature message transmission technology does indeed exist, both candidates should be strip-searched and scanned for it in front of a panel consisting of the chairs of both parties and the moderator before the next debate begins. The moderator should confirm that both men are clean of such devices before beginning the debate.
I think the bulge was a gun holster. He wasn't wired, he was packin'. That's why he kept losing his concentration during the first debate, he could feel the gun pressing into his flesh and he'd start fantasizing...
You all have it wrong, he's actually naked. That's right, all Bushes are born with suits for skin. The bulge is an implant.
The thing behind the tie is a wire coming from his back running up to his colar bone.
Sound can be conducted effectively from the colar bone to the scull. I read recently on some high tech site that this method is often used in security operations.
But, this will never be proved.
Bush is becoming increasingly animatronic as his mental capacity deminishes (and is compensated for by wizard of oz controllers), plus the danger that his personality disorder that underlies his anger and inability to accept criticism becomes more evident.
You didn't think they managed to get 90 minutes of material into that pea-brain within a week, did you?
Or maybe he's packing heat.
Even if he was constantly playing with his tie...even if he was wired in #1 and #2, he's still a dick. A dumb dick.
The Marionette-in-Chief?
While it would not surprise me at all to learn that Bush is wired, that picture looks like nothing more than a creased shirt.
Whatever was between his shoulders in the first debate is still there in the second.
I've got it TiVoed, but no way to get it online. I'm sure anyone else with a recording could verify. They both walked around so much that there's plenty of shots of the fabric of his suit moving around the bulge on his back. He's either got a weirdly protruding spine or he's wearing something back there.
So what if they've installed a "brain" for Shrub? So what if he is caught in the sack with a live boy? 9/11 has changed everything
Ok, I didn't think Bush was wired during that debate, but now I think he might have been.
Here's why: During the debate, my husband asked me, did you see that?
See what? I asked.
There was a flash of something shiny in Bush's ear. You didn't see that?
No, I told him.
And we stopped talking about it. But believe me I looked Bush's back over very well. I saw nothing that could be a receiver.
Now, I am thinking, we were all duped again.
Maybe its a pen? 
Duh! It's obviously a bullet proof vest. Nothing to see here, please move along.
High quality video of this exists, it was about when Bush was talking about remote aircraft, shortly before he came unhinged at the moddy. With luck, that video clip will get into circulation.
It's quite clear from the video that it's not a crease. It also appears (but I'll admit this is open to interpretation) that he is not adjusting his tie, but twiddling with his thumb and forefinger something behind and below the top button of his coat.
I've got both debates on DVD, will review them sometime today and report back. I did notice his back bulge in the first debate but didn't notice anything in the second and I did look for it. But it could be attached to his leg.....
..The creases in frowny-guy's shirt appear very similar in this image. ...
Need Some Wood?
Ah Hah! Well there you go, a blatant conspirisy. How will they deny this?
BTW, Cordage is cool here.
But I would love to live on a near by street, Morningwood.
.
It's the cord a back-up wireless mike.
Nothing to be alarmed about.
Bush blew this one on this own.
There's a lot of chatter on dailykos.com about Bush's physical condition and a video showing footage over a ten year gap. There is a story in the Atlantic detailing "a striking decline in his sentence-by-sentence speaking skills." Despite all the postings about alternative diagnoses, the best fit is presenile dementia (and yes, the past drinking could be the precipitating factor). He is not exhibiting Korsakoff's syndrome nor Alzheimer's.
I've got both debates on DVD, will review them sometime today and report back. I did notice his back bulge in the first debate but didn't notice anything in the second and I did look for it. But it could be attached to his leg.....
Angel...
That frame is taken when he's talking about remote vehicles, I'm pretty sure in the draft question.
Also, watch shortly before that when he's talking about the International Criminal Court ("because it's popular in some capitals in Europe.." I love this line, because he totally contradicts his 'you can't lead if you denigrate the allies.'). Pay special attention to his necktie as he finishes his alleged answer and sits down. The tie bulges out, and you can see something black behind it. Could be a crease, but it's a really dark, well-defined crease.
As for the picture posted here, it would be more compelling that it's a remote micropohone if the cable wasn't as thick as Bush's little finger. All the microphones I've seen have a cord about the size of a number 2 pencil lead. And if it is a microphone, why not just wear it clipped to his tie like the moddy? It's not like it would muss up his clothes, since his tailoring looks like crap. Or maybe his tailoring is good, and his body is all Elephant Man lumpy.
Is that a clip-on tie? Did Georges of K-mart design it for him?
As I said last night, maybe Bush was wearing one of these:
http://accelerated-promotions.co...o-way-
radio.htm
If you go to this link, you'll see a two-way radio with these (and other) features:
1. an earpiece that is "extremely small and can be worn comfortably and invisibly in the ear canal".
2. the receiver unit. The diagram of this unit shows the figure of a man with a wire from the unit going up to the neckline. Another picture shows that this wire could conceivably be hid behind a tie. In that picture, the receiver unit is on the man's left hip. Is the "wire" (if that's what it is) in the picture Atrios put up part of the set up Bush was using during the debate?
Question: why wouldn't Bush wear the wire under his clothing and not just behind his tie? Well, the receiver is too big to put under his pants, it would cause his pants to bulge out too much and probably wouldn't stay put very well, so the receive has to be outside the clothing. Still, a hole could have been cut in Bush's shirt so that the wire could go underneath his shirt while the receiver unit stayed outside the clothing. Hmmm...hey, maybe Rove is just stupid?
Hmmm...hey, maybe Rove is just stupid?
if you're spending time figuring out the other guy's spy gear, you're losing.
Alan S.
Next debate, a Kerry handler has an RF signal trasmission tracer, when the signal is detected during chimpy's response period, a small button is pushed emitting a LOUD, squawk sound.
If Bush recoils in pain, we know he's wired.
Easy.
With apologies to another poster who came up with this ingenious plan.
That bulge on has back is probably a medication pump, no wonder he didn't want to take his physical this year.

Looks to me like his navel ring needed adjusting...or maybe he found a REAL good piece of lint.

An empty suit.
it's an amphetamine drip
Perhaps it's proof that he's really a robot like the ones which he claimed in the debate will take over all the fighting for our troops from now on and prevent the draft from being reinstated.
Andy Borowitz has an answer:
"Elsewhere, Bush strategist Karl Rove hailed the president's performance in the second debate, giving credit to improved radio reception by the bulge in the back of his jacket."
The bulge on the back in the first "debate" is the wire and ring that Daddy Cheney uses to help him talk.
What is the bulge in debate 1? What is the wire behind his shirt in debate 2? Why can you hear Bush's lines in advance of him speaking them on the D-Day CNN tape? BC04 needs to explain this NOW or it will continue to grow. And I put it to you the blogsphere to continue asking until a satisfactory answer is heard!
Its an induction loop, part of his smirk-supression unit. It picks up electromylitic impulses from Bush's smirk-muscles and causes him to grind his jaw instead.
Ok, I didn't think Bush was wired during that debate, but now I think he might have been.
Here's why: During the debate, my husband asked me, did you see that?
See what? I asked.
There was a flash of something shiny in Bush's ear. You didn't see that?
Which debate, what question? I have the first two debates TIVOed and can take a look. LET ME KNOW!!!
And if it is a microphone...
Not a mic. Bush doesn't need a mic for the debate, just an earpiece and receiver. They would have removed any wires/devices that weren't absolutely necessary in order to avoid detection.
According to this site, http://cryptome.org/bush-bulge.htm, the frequencies which these radio transmitters utilize are very well known and "the funny thing about these kinds of system is that mischief makers can set up a transmitter thousands of feet away and feed persons bogus data, and really cause them to screw up their public appearances."
Someone should do this, but not necessarily someone from the Kerry campaign. A concerned citizen should feed Bush bogus data or heck, some raw porn or Richard Pryor concerts or Barney songs...whatever. Or even better, find a way to make Bush's earpiece go into a massive, pain inducing feedback loop. I think it would do wonders for the Kerry campaign for Bush to run screaming from the stage during the middle of the third debate.
I think that's just the tail end of his tie turned sidewise with no/thin profile towards the camera.
Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?
No wires are needed. Everyone seems to be looking with eyes that grew up in the 1950's. If Karl's transponder is close by, he can be picked up by Bush's ear-canal inserted device directly. Bush does NOT have to speak back to Karl...Karl is in direct earshot of the debate feed. Bush only needs to hear Karl's whispered stage prompts. To accomplish this he could have purchased one of the wireless, tunable noise reduction earbuds that bigshot rock musiciains now all use. Rockers no lnoger need "monitor" speakers, and instead balance their earbud filters to emphasize say the drums or base or whatever they selectively want to hear in one ear so as to be able to syncopate with that instrument nearby instrument. Bush could have used a filter band that helped him separate Karl's banter from what Kerry and others were saying. If Bush did talk back to Karl it was probably out of the frustration of being directed to closely and not audible by Karl. By the way, those earbuds cost thousands of dollars each.
Short end of tie, lined with white silk.
For future discussions, also remember that two mikes are often used simultaneously, so there is backup. The hand mike is likely supplemented by one in the collar, on both Bush and Kerry.
I do agree the the picture of Bush's back in the second debate doesn't look like the suspenders I inferred from the first debate picture. Back brace?
If he is getting prompts from Karen Hughes, they are likely one word cues for a memorized line of argument. Anything more detailed would likely be distracting unless he was very well practiced (like news anchors are).
Come on, do you really think they'd make a cheating device so obvious after the flap over whatever was on his back during the first debate? - JAS
Actually, possibly yes. If Rove was indeed behind the supposedly forged doc. from Killian, the questions over which have scuttled any stories on the undeniably true content of the document, then maybe there was a fake wire for us to notice so that way any stories about real wires could be discredited.
Doesn't appear to be the short end of tie in the video to me, since as he "straightens his tie", the wire/tube does not move. Same reason it doesn't look like a wrinkle in the shirt. I recall people at debate saying that he had a wire under his tie before this picture appeared, but I can't remember where I read it.
Look at the picture on Kos' site. If you follow the curve of the wire/tube running down his back in that picture, it appears as if it is looping back up and would match the Atrios' picture. Hmmmm...
It's hard to speculate on what it is. But I'm convinced that it IS something he wore in debate 1, then repositioned it for debate 2.
So what are we left with?
1. Retouched photographs.
2. Backup Microphone in case Bush swallows his hand-held.
3. Wrinkle from buttoning his shirt wrong.
4. Wierdly asymetrical body armor/back brace.
5. Coat hanger he left in his jacket when he got dressed.
6. An anomalous device with either tubes or wires on it partially hidden by clothing.
Pretty apparent to me, given pics and videos from 2 debates, that it's #6. What it is remains the big question. Maybe he's a Borg, that would pretty much match his political philosophy.
Anyway, Debate 3 is going to be like Where's Waldo searching for the wire...
the pic is down- i'd like to judge for myself. when will it be back up or where can i see another copy?
I dunno about the wire idea, but I notice here that GWB is no longer slouching - but rather he is standing like a rooster but more likely a hen.
GWB - Chicken in Chief?
Obviously, his wire pipes in WWF so he wouldn't get bored at the debate.
He gesticulated like a fake-macho wrestler.
And then there was that odd moment when he shouted, "YEAH! Hit him with the metal folding chair, China!"
Some thought this was one of his weirdly botched foreign policy statements, while WWF fans thought he was pandering.
Check out the Fox News video of the first debate. between 1 min 45 sec and 1 min 50 sec into the video, Kerry is holding onto Bush's hand. Bush is walking away and the pull on his jacket reveals a black wire or object. Same side, same place as the wire in the sceond debate. Anyone have a better res video of the first debate?

There is no way this is a wrinkle.

I saw that lump in his shirt in the "Cowboy" picture. That's baffling, to say the least. Maybe he has to have someone whisper to him how to behave like a cowboy and not a cheerleader?
Here's another odd picture, in it, he's either got large, but hideously deformed *ahem* anatomy or, he's stuffing his crotch with a package of socks right off the store shelf.
Or he's wearing diapers.
