Bush cheated on the debate?!

Well, had discounted this as a rumour when I read about it in leftist blogs.. but Guardian, BBC etc have also picked up the story.. makes me wonder if it is true..

Here's a TV grab from the first presidential debate.


It is being claimed that the bulge in Bush's back indicates a communication device that he used to cheat during the first prez debate! The Guardian further reports that during the debate, Bush mentioned "Let me finish" when no one on-stage interrupted him. Of course, all this is rubbished by the Bush campaign - they claim its some sort of a wardrobe malfunction ( remember that term?! - if not, think Janet Jackson).

Interestingly, at the beginning of the second debate when Kerry n Bush shook hands, Kerry patted Bush's back. Was he making sure that Bush wasnt wired?! :)
