Was Bush wearing a wire during the debate?
I got the title and pic from
this Salon article, but the buzz is all over the web. Salon speculates that they've been wiring that golem passing as a president for a while now.

Suggestions that Bush may have using this technique stem from a D-day event in France, when a CNN broadcast appeared to pick up -- and broadcast to surprised viewers -- the sound of another voice seemingly reading Bush his lines, after which Bush repeated them. Danny Schechter, who operates the news site MediaChannel.org, and who has been doing some investigating into the wired-Bush rumors himself, said the Bush campaign has been worried of late about others picking up their radio frequencies -- notably during the Republican Convention on the day of Bush's appearance. "They had a frequency specialist stop me and ask about the frequency of my camera," Schechter said. "The Democrats weren't doing that at their convention."

Not that it suprises me or anything - nor do I expect it to convince people who for some reason that escapes think he's not a vacant puppet - but the rumor might just cramp Bush's style even more at tonight's debate.
