AOLer has new theory regarding Bush note-taking

[grasswire]

Posted on an AOL message board regarding the earpiece:

Mary84M: You can also see the wire going over his right shoulder under the coat. Get a magnifying glass and look at the wire going over his right shoulder then to his ear. You can see the wire on the upper part of his ear. If you noticed, every time he sat down, he would start to scribble on a pad - I watched very closely - he wasn't making rebuttal notes, he was scribbling while listening to Rove guide him through.

So....the theory is that the voice in his ear spoke while Kerry spoke, giving him notes to guide him through the rebuttal. That could explain why W. would sit with a puzzled look on his face and then suddenly jerk at something Kerry would say. He wasn't really listening to Kerry; sometimes he was listening to the master.

1. The whole show was bad. It is a shame to have this man as President.

He looks like a fool to the world.

2. The wire story

...has been mocked on NPR, and is being used by the *ies to paint us as Art Bell-listening conspiracy kooks. Whatever the truth, it's not worth chasing.

(It also makes it look like we were sufficiently impressed by his performance to think it needs outside explanation. I for one wasn't. That was vintage * incompetence we saw.)

6. All they have to do is tell us what the bump is

There is obviously something under his coat. They can tell us what it isn't, but they can't tell us what it is? Why not?

8. Hey, I resemble that remark!

Quote: "Art Bell-listening conspiracy kooks..."

LOL ;) But honestly, I don't think Art would touch this story... he's being very cautious these days.

3. I really think he was taught to scribble whenever Kerry said something

that pissed him off. If you watch the debate, you'll notice he's scribbling away at all those moments that set him off blinking and nodding the last time around. :hi:

5. That's what I thought

It looked like every time Kerry got in a good jab, Bush pretended to write something so he wouldn't leer at Kerry or something.

4. Doesn't that make more sense than

bush taking notes on what Kerry said? Can you imagine if This is true..how disgraceful for the prez(sic) to be so dumb he can't even debate his OPPONENT?!!

7. I think if Bush had a wire Kerry or his people would've called him out

If Bush had a wire and was being fed answers Kerry would've seen or heard it -- he was very close. There were so many Kerry people and media people around someone would've seen it.

9. Shrubs notes

Just watch Shrub during the debates, he is not taking notes compared to Kerry. Looks like Shrub is doing a scribble. Shrub is not taking not taking notes. He is a fake, just copying Kerry.
