Bush's Bulge

electoral-vote.com

( looks like the President should be frisked! )

Salon reports on the latest Internet rumor surrounding an image of President Bush in the first debate which "shows a large solid object between Bush's shoulder blades as he leans over the lectern and faces moderator Jim Lehrer."

"Was the bulge under his well-tailored jacket a hidden receiver, picking up transmissions from someone offstage feeding the president answers through a hidden earpiece? Did the device explain why the normally ramrod-straight president seemed hunched over during much of the debate?"

The Votemaster isolated a similar image: "I obtained a copy of the debate video and the Red Hawk image intensification software (developed for NASA), which combines multiple images into a sharper image and then had the contrast enhanced with Photoshop. Other than cropping and resizing of the image, no other manipulation was done. I stand 100% behind the fact that this image was taken from the debate video, independently confirming the Salon.com photo, but interpretation is up to you."
