I also thought this was grasping at straws and refused to believe there was anything there. But as more stories came out with more detailed pictures, I realized there was *something* there. I don’t think it’s an ear piece type of thing, but it is something. So when it was denied utterly, I began to wonder just what it was and why were they denying it. Then I heard about Bush not getting his physical this year, and figured that was the reason, that it was related to some injury or another. Maybe one of his falls off his bike or something.

You can use the bone structure in anyone’s body to move the sound, so long as you have a reception unit that is powerful enough to receive the message and send the small electrical impulses through your bones. Of course, no one wants to deal with the fact that the president is a silly robot, incapable of speaking on his own, but that my friends is what we have. He probably did much better on the two other debates because he had a little more time to prepare and because, frankly speaking, it takes a long time to adjust to having someone speaking into your ear.

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thank you! My site Verona

Hey, I can make a photograph of my grandmother look like she's living tissue stretched over a hyperalloy combat chassis with enough unsharp masking, but that doesn't mean it's true.

On the other hand...we have referred to her as the Grammanator from time to time...so who knows?!?!?!

Lessig has just reached the ninth circle; I was wondering how long it was going to take for this man, widely reputed to be a genius and worshipped by so many, to go on record with this which first emerged, after all, in response to the "Kerry pulled something out of his pocket" video that ran on some right-wing blogs and the Drudge Report after the first debate. In response to that attack on Kerry's credibility, the mainstream media decided to smite the bloggers and Drudge with this story. The Washington Post ran it (tongue in cheek) and then the New York Times ran an online photo montage showing suspicious 'bulges' in the clothing of ordinary Manhattanites they surreptitiously photographed, in an attempt to quell the rumor they themselves had promulgated.

Now Lessig is picking it up and running with it, on the basis of some Unsharp Masking in Photoshop. Oh, and yeah - Lessig is a wicked good programmer because of some "fiendishly complicated WordPerfect macros" he wrote, too.

Stanford should revoke his tenure and let him apply for a job at Kalamazoo College.

You are all a bunch of techno idiots. You don't need a wire to be able to transmit to the ear. You can use the bone structure in anyone's body to move the sound, so long as you have a reception unit that is powerful enough to receive the message and send the small electrical impulses through your bones.

Of course, no one wants to deal with the fact that the president is a silly robot, incapable of speaking on his own, but that my friends is what we have. He probably did much better on the two other debates because he had a little more time to prepare and because, frankly speaking, it takes a long time to adjust to having someone speaking into your ear. It is hard to produce anything resembling a natural sounding statement when someone keeps whispering.

To all the naysayers, do a little research or shut the fuck up.

Yes, I wear suits, and no, they don't bulge in that particular, very sharply defined way. They bulge in a more rounded fashion.

They denied there was anything under the suit, then when pressed came up with the bad tailoring excuse (as if). And for the record, I also thought this was grasping at straws and refused to believe there was anything there. But as more stories came out with more detailed pictures, I realized there was *something* there. I don't think it's an ear piece type of thing, but it is something. So when it was denied utterly, I began to wonder just what it was and why were they denying it. Then I heard about Bush not getting his physical this year, and figured that was the reason, that it was related to some injury or another. Maybe one of his falls off his bike or something.

So no, I don't think it's that significant that he has something under his suit. What I found signficant was the White House reaction to it.

Nate, do you wear business suits? They don't always lay flat, since they aren't spandex.

I haven't followed this story closely, because it always sounded like grasping at straws. I wonder if the Bush spokesman (Ari?) denied the bulge, or denied there was a radio device on Bush's back.

Have you followed the link to other Salon article that shows a similar bulge on Bush in a non-political setting?
