Bush's mystery bulge (BARF ALERT)
Salon ^ | October 8, 2004 | Dave Lindorff

Posted on 10/07/2004 9:40:42 PM PDT by good_fight

Was President Bush literally channeling Karl Rove in his first debate with John Kerry? That's the latest rumor flooding the Internet, unleashed last week in the wake of an image caught by a television camera during the Miami debate. The image shows a large solid object between Bush's shoulder blades as he leans over the lectern and faces moderator Jim Lehrer.

He would have done much better if it were true.

Karl Rove should take that thing back to Best Buy and get his money back. What, was the "It's hard work" key get stuck?

Bush had a "hunch" that the RATS would say stupid stuff.

Outrageously ridiculous!

More evidence of shear desperation by the liberal establishment.

Seriesly, the dems are insane.

If there were anything, it was probably a bullet proof vest showing. I want him to be wearing one when insane leftists are in the audience. Heck, especially when he has an insane Massachussetts liberal standing right next to him.

That was my guess, too, if it's anything at all. Maybe there was a specific threat the Secret Service took seriously. But then, that's just unfounded speculation, too.

Yeah, but the Dems usually take true charges against them and start throwing the same thing back at the Repubs.

Whatever happened with the thing Kerry took out of his pocket. It seemd to suddenly disappear. I never heard any resolution other than the Dem's claim that it was a pen, which it clearly was not from the pictures I saw.

Cut to the chase. Part of Rove's brain has been implanted in Pres. Bushes head.

Doesn't take a mental giant to figure he's been wearing a bulletproof vest all summer. With the threats surprised it's not a helmet, too.

Absolutely. Bush is a complete stud. Kerry never laughs at himself. Kerry never admits a mistake. Kerry never apologizes. Kerry just gets ticked off if someone suggests that he might possibly need to clarify something he once said.
