Bush Blames Poorly Made Shirt for Bulge
Bush Blames Poorly Made Shirt for Bulge

17 minutes ago


WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) sees the value — and the humor — in the idea that aides could secretly feed him advice through a radio receiver hidden on his back.




"Please explain to me how it works so maybe if I were ever to debate again I could figure it out," Bush said Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

After television cameras showed a box-shaped bulge on his back during the first presidential debate, Internet bloggers wondered whether Bush had been wired to receive help with his responses from aides such as White House communications director Dan Bartlett and senior adviser Karen Hughes.

When asked about the bulge that appeared as he and Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) debated Sept. 30 in Coral Gables, Fla., Bush tantalized conspiracy theorists by saying, "Well, you know, Karen Hughes and Dan Bartlett had rigged up a sound system ..."

15. It is absurd! I agree there is no way. Better not to comment than
to blatantly lie like that.

10. a badly made shirt 3 times & a badly made t-shirt
he hasn't explained the bulge in his t-shirt -- taken of him on the pig farm, when he was in a truck. Posted on DU a few times last week.

Add this to the list of "explanations" of the bulge the jerks have come up with.

When they lie this much about the little things -- we know they are also lying about the big things.

20. We'll have to wait for the book
Maybe after the election someone will be brave enough to write a tell-all about the Bush years which includes the debates. Hmm, anyone honest still left in the administration? No?

21. It's a corset. Bush has been getting a little pudgy lately and he wants
to hold in his stomach so that he looks more manley.

22. I'm wearing a cheap shirt right now
And curiously, it looks like there is a fucking refrigerator strapped to my back. Odd things, those poorly made shirts.

24. Not At All Funny, Asshole
This shouldn't just be laughed off by anyone; there obviously is a box under his jacket. I read elsewhere it is a heart monitor- he did delay having his normal physical until after the election. Considering the pretzel incident, a heart problem makes absolute sense.

* wants us to laugh it off and it is working. Obviously, not only is he lying out his ass, but the press is letting him get away with it as is the American public. The ROTUS cheats at a debate and is fed answers or has a secret medical problem- that's not news?!

25. Why does he always insult our intelligence?
This remains a critical issue to me. Why, because it goes to the heart of his arrogance. It also tells us that if he would lie about the bulge, he would lie about the WMD,911 and everything else.

They LIE because they are allowed to LIE.

IMO, the ear piece issue came just at the right time. Now most clear thinking people know that "he needs help to complete a thought."
It clouded his debate unperformance.

He is such a finished fool.

He thinks that he can say anything and we will buy it.

His tailor has already covered for him to say it was the material in the suit!

Who in hell would go to that tailor again -LOL!

Now we need to talk to the shirt maker.

Face it Puppet Boy, you are DONE.
