Knew about most of this, but hadn't seen the picture or head about the D-Day speech. Start fitting me for a tin foil hat; this is making an unfortunate amount of sense.

Watch Kerry switch the signal on tonight's debate and get Chimpy to read out sports scores. :D

yeh and now reagan is revered and they are rewriting history to claim that reagan "won the cold war"...and funny enough many of reagan's advisors are the same as dubya's...not so coincidental...

Is he known to wear any bulletproof vests, kevlar, etc? That wouldbe my guess.

Bullet-proof vests are smooth and go almost all the way up to the back of the neck. They attack at the sides and over the shoulder. The lump is in the wrong place.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if Chimpy was wired, couldn't the bulge just be a bulletproof vest?

well it wouldn't be surprising if it's true...he is an inept speaker...but if he was wired and faired that well then karl rove should be looking for a new vocation...it's funny i was noticing how hunched over he was and thinking how undignified it looked...but if you notice dick cheney has the same affliction...they are like hobbits or something...there is something very disconcerting about it...

Not Hobbits,

Lizard people ;-)

I don't see anything wrong with using this technology in place of a teleprompter for a prepared speech or even for a press conference, but it completely defeats the point of the debates.

Maybe the annoyance he was showing as the debate wore on was because it wasn't working out as well as planned-- he wasn't getting the answers fast enough and they weren't catching things they should have. Perhaps they were telling reassuing him that things would be OK and the "stay the course" which is why he repeated that phrase so much...

I was wondering how he was going to manage an unscripted debate on his own. Left to his own devices and without help I would have expected flubs more along the lines of the "Prime Minister Poutine" incident in the last election.

don't forget "this job is hard work"...he loved that line...you know the other funny thing is i also wondered who he was talking to when he said just let me finish...it really made no sense in the context of the debate...

During Ronnie Ray-gun's time in office, Saturday Night Live did a skit where Ronnie was giving a press conference and his lackeys were feeding him answers from another room via a hidden radio link. In the skit, trouble (and some good comedy) began when an air traffic controller's radio interfered and caused Ronnie to give some really strange answers to reporters' questions.

Heh. I wonder if that had any influence on Reagan firing every air-traffic controller in the country when they went on strike ;-)
