I'm sure it would put the questions to rest, did he have something back there

Maybe I'm forgetting someone, but I think you're the first SI person to suggest they don't see anything with their own two eyes under Bush's tee shirt, and then suit, in the pictures.

Did you look at them? The tee shirt one: is there a "question to put to rest" in your mind about "did he have something back there"?

The WH says there's nothing there. A "wrinkle" is all. You agree?

You're weighing in late on this subject, and I don't feel like going back to that conversation get the links, but they're there, in case you didn't look at them before you commented.

I guess you're among those that thinks it's not of interest what that thing is the WH says we shouldn't trust our lyin' eyes about. That surprises me a lot, to tell you the truth, RDW. I would have bet good money you'd say, "Hey, what the heck is that on the president's back in all those photos?" If it's a flak jacket, well, so what, why wouldn't they just tell the truth about it? If it's a back brace, so what? Why lie about that?

It's the blatant lie that makes it of interest. "Back brace; he was clearing brush" isn't interesting.

If it is, as some experts have testified, equipment that allows him (but not his opponent) to get replies fed to him from parties elsewhere, we differ in that I would want to know that and you wouldn't want it discussed; is that correct?

But we agree about one thing: If Kerry had something mysterious in his pocket or hand in the first debate, and I've seen a bunch of photos of it taken straight from the video feed, and the Kerry campaign is saying, "It's not there, believe us, don't believe your lyin' eyes," I want to know what in the world it is they're lying about. This is the first time I've heard of it. I still have that debate on TiVo, I've still not looked at it, so I can check it out if you tell me what to look for. Are there links you can give me to a still photos from the video feed of that object or moment in the debate to show me what to look for?

If Kerry demonstrably had something with him at the debate and/or elsewhere, the existence of which is being denied by his campaign, that would have a bad smell, and would suggest to me that they are keeping a secret from the voters.

Are you saying that you think it's possible Kerry was using this object to cheat in the debate, as, if Bush were "wired" (really there are no wires) with the radio device, he would have been doing?

What did it look like? Give me any info, and links to photos, that you have, and I'll check it out with my own eyes on my TiVo recording of it. I'm curious to see that debate anyway.
