Can you see it? I don't...

On another site, a correspondent directs our attention to this clip (members.cox.net/unmarked/002.wmv).

Supposedly, when Bush adjusts his suit, a mysterious line is visible between the jacket and the tie.

I don't see it, and I've gone over the clip many times. Can someone point out the frame in which this allegedly incriminating evidence becomes visible?

At 0:05 into the clip you can see what appears to a black cable between Bush's tie and his shirt, just to the right of his tie as headjusts his jacket.

I second that. It's between the 4th and 5th second. Can someone get a frame shot of it?

I find it ironic that he is discussing "real time messages" just as it is visible.

The wire is clear.

Pause the clip at about four seconds. Mr. Bush is adjusting his tie. Directly above his left hand, between his tie and his jacket is a wire. He is holding a hand microphone in his right hand.

As Socrates said, "Go figure."

Atrios has a picture of it posted.

I finally found a decent clip where you can see it for yourself. The wire behind his tie is definitely there, and he's tucking it in just after saying "real time messages." How funny is that?

You can't see it on c-span because it's blocked from view by the question that hangs on the screen in the blue box.

I found a clip of the debate on MSNBC.COM, which shows it clearly!

You have to navigate to it.

Go to:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6191353/

On the right, there's a video section that says "LIVE VIDEO". Underneath it you can navigate forward by clicking the arrow to the right. Click it till you get to number 6: "Is Draft Possible?" Then click the "Launch" button.

He will talk for about a minute. When he gets to this point, watch very closely:

"For instance, we're flying unmanned vehicles that can send real-time messages back to stations in the United States. That saves manpower, and it saves equipment."

You can pause and replay if you miss it. He tucks the wire in just after saying "real-time messages."

I just think this is funny. It must have been a subconscious reaction after saying the words "real-time messages."

No wonder he didn't crumble like everyone thought he would!
