with no GOP explanation, a kinder gentler theory of da bulge

“I believe the device seen under Bush's suit was an Assisted Listening Device (ALD), used to filter out extraneous noise.
Two mothers of children suffering from Central Auditory Processing Disorder, independently, on different occasions, recognized in Bush the same symptoms their children with CAPD suffer from.
The reason Bush did so poorly in school? He suffered from CAPD (symptoms are very similar to ADD, the child can hear but can't filter out extraneous noises, making it hard to focus and causing the child to act out in frustration).
The reason Bush sat stupefied when Card whispered that a second plane had struck the WTC towers? He couldn't process the auditory info in what was, to him, the chaos of an elementary classroom.
The reason he has to wear a device in press conferences and debates? He can't filter out extraneous noises and needs a device to do it for him.
The White House needs to explain what the rectangular device was under Bush's suit. This is not a legitimate excuse for Bush to use an aid in the debate. As witnessed on 9/11, Bush is disabled and unfit for office.”

1. An intriguing theory

2. finally, the "Bush is borderline retarded and needed white noise"

theory. Well, I'll take action on both the retarded theory and the lying, cheating sack of shit theory.

3. Hmm... interesting.. but I don't buy it.. here's why.

Bush has NO trouble functioning at parties, baseball games, social gatherings. There was no extraneous noise at the debates, you could have heard a pin drop.

not the same.

His language retrival skills can differ from one setting to another, especially if he is LD.

4. Just what I need...

Another thing to convince myself that I have. I'm already pretty sure I've got ADD, Asperger's Syndrome, and social anxiety disorder.
