Reuters Asks if Veep Candidates Will be Checked for Secret Earpieces Before Debate

Carl Cameron of Fox News reported a few minutes ago during Special Report with Brit Hume that Reuters asked the organizers of tonight's vice presidential debate if the two candidates would be checked to see if they were wearing earpieces that would feed them answers and coaching during the debate.

Cameron said Reuters asked if the candidates' ear canals would be looked at before the debate.

At the end of Cameron's report, Hume started singing the Twilight Zone theme song, "Doo-do, doo-do. Doo-do, doo-do."

Liberal bloggers made up a conspiracy theory that President Bush wore a wire during his debates in 2004 with Sen. Kerry. The mainstream media has shown a propensity to investigate any absurd unfounded rumor against Republican candidates John McCain and Sarah Palin by liberal blogs during this campaign season while activiely working with the Obama campaign to shoot down well-founded avenues of inquiry of Obama's background by conservative bloggers.

As has been said by Sean Hannity, 2008 is the year journalism died.

Why? So someone can remind Joe Biden who was President during the Depression & when tvs existed in the US? lol!

I heard a caller to CSPAN this morning float this theory, that Sarah Palin would have an earpiece and be fed answers. She said we would know it was true if she wore her hair down..... If I weren’t so sick of these folks this would be funny, but somehow it’s getting worrisome that there are so many people who are so crazy and they don’t mind saying this stuff in public.

“No, but we will be checking for hair plugs...”

[dforest]

They were directing this at Sarah. Maybe someone should call and ask if Joe Biden will be given a breathalyzer prior to the debate?

Moonbat nuts...

This shouldn’t surprise anybody. Heck these same minded morons were screaming McCain had broken the “cone of silence” during the Saddleback forum.

Reuters asked if the candidates' ear canals would be looked at

If the look in Biden's ear canals I suspect they will find hair plugs.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

You beat me too it!

[casinva]

Funny!

Someone might need to remind Old Joe Biden that Barack’s last name is not “America”!

[kristinn]

Ewww!

[DJ MacWoW]

Actually DU has been pushing this. I didn’t bother reading the thread.

if Joe Biden will be given a breathalyzer prior to the debate?

Aww, c'mon. I think Biden showing up plastered would be lots of fun. I already think that Palin will wipe the floor up with him tonight and if he's drunk it will be even better! LOL

[Brilliant]

Maybe they should look in Palin’s bra and under Biden’s toup.

While they are at it they can bring in the TSA to screen Ifill for any biases, prejudices, or unauthorized questions she has for Sarah Palin.

Oevilbama should have been checked. Maybe we can ask this before the next Presidential debate.

[JohnQ1]

No, if they look into Biden’s left ear canal, they’ll see what’s on his right. In the right one, out the left. It’s the meaning of “airhead”.

[RetSignman]

What a ridiculous idea to check their ears. It's crazy.

[dforest]

I am angry, I just got done listening to that odious Fred Barnes trash all the conservatives in the house.

These people do not want us to win.

Geesh, I am PO’ed.

Sorry
