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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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”.
