A new entry in the Bulgegate sweepstakes...

I posted this as a response in LBN, but I think it needs a bit more visibility.

My girlfriend came up with this idea, and frankly I think it has more merit than a radio-linked prompter. Bush may be wearing an ambulatory infusion pump. That would mean that the ridges you can see going out from the device are lines for the meds, which makes more sense than antennas or audio wiring, which would be much smaller.

Take a look here for an example of these devices:
I-Flow infusion pump
and on page 15 of this PDF:
Highlights on Antineoplastic Drugs

It occurs to me that the various physical anomalies we've seen in * over the last year, including the apparent facial abrasions and changes in skin colour, might be signs of a physical illness.

1. EXACTLY!

I posted this twice today - we know he takes medication but they won't say what it is - he refused to take a physical this year

I think he is epileptic or something much worse

6. May be Bush was going to play Quosimodo in Hunchback of Notre

Dame? Then again he may not knowing how he detests the French.

7. I think too that it is some sort of infusion device that keeps him dosed

up with a constant stream of medication. I talked with a friend of mine who is a psychiatric nurse. She unfortunately is voting for *. Can't talk her out of it. But I asked her about the "geeking" (W's odd movement that he does now with his jaw) that was discussed here a few weeks ago. It was discussed that it was a sign of his using cocaine again. She disagreed with that and showed me the "geeking" that she sees with her clientele. But she did agree that what * does could be a sign of Parkinson's disease or another neurological disease. Wouldn't that be something considering his refusal to support stem cell research? Anyway, I just wonder if the device is something to control the Parkinson's symptoms?
