Last night, Bush spoke as if he had an earpiece

[genius]

Does anyone know if they checked him or just let him through?

1. I think he was wired as usual last night and got

a few audio cues. It helped him about as much as it did in the other two debates. Rove knows that his puppet boy would feel more secure with the earpiece in place so he let him keep it. No one was going to frisk the presidential pretender. It's all going to come out soon enough when some of the inner cirle staffers start to talk.

2. He spoke as a man who was given the questions before hand

and had rehearsed the answers

4. Yep, I had the feeling that he or the earpiece man

had been given perhaps a general idea (not the actual question so that Scheiffer was technically correct) of what some of the questions might be.

I'll bet both Kerry and Shrub were ready for the price of milk and hamburger questions that never came. (maybe Shrub knew Bob wouldn't ask)

3. I only felt that way in the flu vaccine answer

The rest seemed like it was oozing out of the Chimpleton's own little brain. But he definitely sounded like he was getting cued about the flu.

5. chimpy's comments about flu shots lost him a lot of doctor's votes

Docs tend to be somewhat conservative, and many of them might have still leaned toward the chimp, but he screwed up badly when he gave medical advice last night. Doctors do not like laymen - not even the president - giving medical advice.

6. No, he had been given the questions and memorized the answer

OK, he probably had an earpiece as well. Regardless, he lost.
