A bit of 1970s tech would solve the "visible earpiece" problem
Someone here said the Shrub had a lump of some sort on his back.

Who remembers the Bone Fone? It was a sort of speaker that wrapped around your neck and made your bones carry the sound up to your ears. Apparently you can still get these; some deaf people use them.

It's very simple. You get a Bone Fone, do a little bit of field modification to it, and all of a sudden you have backchannel comms with the Chimp.

2. IF he had any earpiece or ANY help at all
then he needs to fire the person 'helping' him. I don't believe he did.

3. If was being live coached, he's worse than we thought!
I really doubt he had an earpice or Bone Fone, or anything else! I think you saw what's real! That's why he does so bad in Press Conferences. When he hasn't rehearsed the staged questions, he's lost. Can't think on his feet at all!

As much as I detest RoveCo, they are much better than that! If they were coaching him, he would have done much better!

5. No, it's "Bone Fone"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=132&item=2273835176&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

has some pictures of one. They were sold as AM/FM radios but they had a jack so you could plug them into your 8-track player.
