I don't care if the bulge looked like a cheese sandwich with Jesus Christ appearing on it - as just one example - stuff often "looks" odd in a photo

Yeah, and he wears a wire so people can feed him the answers even when he is bumping around his ranch in his pick-up in Texas. Sheesh.

Geeeeeez! I thought the issue was settled as being the bullet-proof vest. I cannot believe they're still trying to make an issue out of this.

This is just another AWOL story run amuk!! I wonder if they hand onto this one for 5 years like they did the last one?

What are you talking about?

They had film of the foam hitting the wing but after analyzing it dismissed it as not very important without telling the crew of the potential hazard. Only after recreating the hit in a wind tunnel did they finally admit that it was the cause of the failure.

I guess folks have never seen a concealable vest with a trauma pad - cuz that's what that is.

Actually NASA has developed a clone of "W" with robotic implants. Our first bionic president...

Now it's possible from him to appear to be in public when he's actually fishing at the ranch. (he wishes!)

Note the large square thing - most vests only have them in the front, but I'd certainly have one in the back if I was the Prez. It's a trauma pack - designed to provide additional ballistic protection over the vital organs. Some are soft (basically an extra later of kevlar, spectraflex, etc) but some are hard - made of metal. I'd imagine the leader of the free world uses a hard trauma plate.

If you want to read some real life paranoia on the subject of the Bush Bulge try this lunatic asylum.

OK I remember now.

[hoosiermama]

I'll take your work for it.....It's just so rediculous.....Some people obviously have too much time on their hands....Maybe they should get a job.

I browsed Schizoworld to check on the delusion du jour and saw that one and the ongoing "I believe" thread. Always good for a laugh.

Obvious explanation is that he was wired and somebody was feeding him the answers in the first debate. Yeah, right.

Does anyone recall seeing X clinton wearing his two hearing aids? Sheese no one even questioned the sudden appearance of these hearing aids when they popped up.

President Clinton Gets Hearing Aids

While he was President, the nation's deaf and hard of hearing community got a new member -- former President Bill Clinton. Clinton was fitted for new hearing aids, the completely in the canal type.
