WP: Cheney Pops One for Edwards (Heart Pills?)

[kskiska]

First there was the Mystery of the Bulge, a blogger-generated "controversy" about whether President Bush wore a hidden wire during his first debate with Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.). The implication, of course, was that Bush advisers Karl Rove or Karen Hughes were coaching Bush during the debates. The White House has laughingly dismissed Bulgegate as absurd.

But now there's a new mystery that some eagle-eyed viewers noticed just after the debate between Vice President Cheney and Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.). It happened while the families were up on the stage, congratulating and hugging their candidate and then wandering about desperately pretending they don't despise each other.

Cheney, we're told, reached into his pocket and appeared to pull out a pill and swallow it. Given his ticker ailments, might this be a nitroglycerin pill for his heart? Tums? A jelly bean? The bloggers doubtless were gearing up for Pillgate.

A Cheney campaign spokeswoman said Friday it was a "breath mint."

Edwards did think it was strange that Cheney didn't get up from his chair to shake hands after the debate.

1. Washington Post got nothing else to write about?

Isn't there a war? Economy in the hole?

[drdtroit]

3. Those topics would presume a journalistic mind n/t

[russian33]

4. ahhh, that is so true my friend, i stand corrected.

10. yeah, I bet he was hoping to get a moment alone with Cate.

swine.

[cliss]

17. Ha ha

that's great. I had to no trouble visualizing that.

5. Even if it is total nonsense

...and it probably is, there's two delightful little seeds of doubt in that story--he couldn't get out of his chair, and he took a "tablet" of some sort. It may be false, but it is sweet. Artful placement too, with the "nothing to see here" denial (and we know how THOSE often turn out!) at the end.

Drip, drip, drip!

6. could have been nitro

i`ve got some knowledge about heart problems and it could well have been that. but so what? everyone knows he`s has serious heart problems and the use of nitro is really no big deal...

8. Reptilians need some kind of pill to maintain their human form

Cheney was just being extra careful.

9. The "wire" theory has really gotten in the way of the FACT

that there was something on the back of the US president that has yet to be adequately explained.

12. I don't know but it's something

and it ticks me off that they believe they can put it over on us.

[GRLMGC]

13. wow

I never realized it was THAT obvious

[goclark]

14. It's was real obvious!

And since they have been asked and they won't tell the truth, it is deemed an ear piece.

Why else would they hide it from us?

Puppet Boy wears an ear piece!

Repeat after me...

15. Please, it couldn't have been a Jelly Bean

All my relatives are accounted for. And none of them were consumed by Cheney.
