Was President Bush literally channeling Karl Rove in his first debate with John Kerry? That's the latest rumor flooding the Internet, unleashed last week in the wake of an image caught by a television camera during the Miami debate. The image shows a large solid object between Bush's shoulder blades as he leans over the lectern and faces moderator Jim Lehrer.
The president is not known to wear a back brace, and it's safe to say he wasn't packing. So 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?

Karl Rove gives really shitty advice on what to say

Rove shoulda whispered in Bushs ear with his hidden earfone to stand up straight

Eh heh... and we all know how the Internet would never lie to us ;)

I think thats the number one reason why I don't believe this. If he was going to cheat, I think his advisors were smart enough to make him cheat well

View the pic youll see the hidden box attached to Bushs back--Andrew Card Bushs cheif of staff said if Bush was wired he didnt know about it

but can all the technology in the world make Bush any less of an idiot?

MK is allowed one newsthread a day, and it must have a source linked in it.

So are Elvis sightings. And "proof" the Halocaust was faked. Doesn't make it any less stupid when it's posted here.

conservatives hijacked the american media just to censor these kind of truths but its all filtering out anyway

I actually noticed the wiring during the debate but didn't think anything of it because it was someone on TV and that's pretty common. if a wiring is the case, they did a pretty bad job giving him answers...or maybe Kerry had Rove all fuddled too? And it would explain why everytime it was Bush's turn to speak it took him about 15 seconds to think of something to say.

who do you like, the puppet on the left or the puppet on the right...oh hell, at least vote for the one who doesn't have his strings showing i suppose.

If this is true then I think Bush should have chossen someone better to give him advice!! Because karls advice was craps at best ;)

The internet is serious business!

so then whats in the hidden box on Bushs back?

Looking at that picture, I'd say his spine.

if you dont see it right away in the pic then unfocus your eyes a bit and shift them around until you eventually will see it
P.s. its square

It's rectangular, about the size of a human spine...

his spine has a protruding tumor on it then--a huge one

well most of our spines run up and down in a straight line

As is the bulge, it only protrudes in one line, it doesn't have two parallel lines like a box would.

yeah but the bulge is sideways lol--his spine goes across his back?

Notice how they're above the center of the vertical bulge? Like shoulder blades usually are?

his spine ends at his shoulder blades?

his spine ends at his shoulder blades?
Yes, because his shoulders protude farther, so the spine wouldn't touch the fabric of his jacket.

It looks to me like a fold in the material of the jacket, but that's just reason talking.

Does it matter? Kerry seemed to win anyways

It's the internets.

It's called a mic pack. :rolleyes:

you guys believe rumors too much

Why was Bush stooping when he usally stands erected

You know, if you made that comment about Cheney...

...SO will not go there xD

I like the idea. Having Condoleeza Rice whisper hot pr0n to me over a mic would make an otherwise boring debate fun.

But if it was Donald Rumsfeld on the other hand... ugh, that's so so wrong.

:p

God if Donald Rumsfeld did that to me, I would admit to cheating and fire Donald lol.

It couldn't have been the transmitter or battery pack for the mic he was wearing. If you look close, and squint, and kinda tilt your head to the right, you can see the translucent earpeice many people who appear on live TV wear. You know, the kind of thing that allows the producer of the show to alert the personalities to commercial breaks or changes in the show's pace.

It's definitely a conspiracy. In fact, he probably helped conspire to kill JFK. :sniper:

I read somewhere it was 'cuz he had a light infection of something, and the suppository wasn't adjusted properly.
Of course, i could be mean, he was steadying himself for the "bitch" position, knowing he had approximately sh*t to stand on for his postion, and of course, Kerry showed him the other side of statesmanship.

Ah that works. He's doing a Clinton, getting ready for his second term. In Clinton's case he took it up the front end though, and from girlies.

He was probably wondering why his coinscience sounded soo much like Karl Rove, but then again his coinscience and him hardly speak anymore.

Republican counter:
Kerry eats embryos to prep for debate!?!

Fool! Every informed conservative knows that it was Donald Rumsfeld giving advice to George Bush in the last debate. Once again, you liberals have fallen for our disinfomation campaign! <insert evil laughter here> :D

God if Donald Rumsfeld did that to me, I would admit to cheating and fire Donald lol.
Rumsfeld is mad at Cheney cause Rummy was supposed to be VP orignally but Cheney appointed himself insted

From what I've heard so far, I hope Bush continues to get help from Rove. :)

Doesn't disprove it though, but provides a reason for it.

It's a control device planted by Satan! :p

Don't you think Satan could do better? I mean, after Henry Kissinger, I find it hard to believe that Satan would trade down to Dubya. ;)

Wind-up key, is my theory.

The others demanded too much from Satan, Dubya was most gullible :)

Dude, if Bush had been receiving real-time tutelage from Karl Rove, he would have done better than to seem like a vacuous organ grinding monkey.

would someone post the url of this picture... thanks!

i hate being the ignorant one, but who is Karl Rove?

He's the spawn of Satan. Lucifer's Hand on Earth..

Actually, he's been the principal architect of Bush's rise to power and is his senior domestic policy advisor. He's a protege of Nixon's chief of staff. He's widely considered to be the most vicious, most unprincipled (and in all fairness, one of the single smartest) political operatives ever. Rove is the architect of the admittedly brilliant conservative Republican strategy that has co-opted classically progressive language and the public relations coup of mass media.

I hate the man, but I have to admit, he is effing brilliant at his job.

This is easier to buy than the wire.

Wearing an earpiece during the debate seems too much like a plot from a show like Small Wonder...There are better things to go after Bush for...

I'm still trying to figure out why you guys think this is credible. Look at it from the perspective of the Republicans: You've got a candidate who, while he's not the best speaker, still gave a more than respectable showing in the debates against Al Gore four years ago. You've got him debating John Kerry, who's not much more impressive as a debater than Gore. Why on earth would you give him an earpiece? In this situation, you'd have to think that he wouldn't need it.

thats what that big metal pole that people think was a receiver box attached to his back was for

against gore bush had the advantage that no one knew about him and gore was coming off as pompous

now we see bush is a "stupid dumbass" and he is coming off as unstable and repetitively moronic in the debates

Hey r ne of you lot girls?

maybe Bush is Satans retarded love child

Hey, in addition,
If Jesus was the son of God, and Bush just magically comes around 2000 years later, on the dot..... Perhaps he is Satan's child!

:eek: Oh my god! Run for your fucking lives! :eek:

He's gonna kill us all!
