Another bulge-watcher has just made the "second voice" audio excerpt from debate three more easily available. Listen for yourself here.
My reaction? Intrigued, but not persuaded. A mystery voice is definitely there -- you can hear it most prominently at about the two minute mark. You don't hear this oddity when Kerry or the moderator speaks. And in these days of digital recordings, I would hesitate to ascribe this phenomenon to the "pre-echo" that we used to hear in old-fashioned oxide tape.
That said: Provenance of this audio excerpt remains a question. We do not hear this mystery voice on the CSPAN feed. If this audio was picked up from a broadcast source, there may have been some bleed from a nearby station.
Beyond that, listen once more to the cadence of Bush's speaking style. Phrase...pause...phrase...pause. Isn't this bizarre verbal behavior evidence in and of itself? Especially with the "mystery voice" phenomenon buzzing subtly in the background, the listener cannot escape the impression that Bush is receiving cues from afar.
Also, you can see here the video of Bush appearing to adjust his earpiece. (Yet another site devoted to this controversy!)

On that audio, with the suspected second voice, 2:06
I heard the word "determination".
There are a few words right before that almost audible.
Positive about "determination"
i was the one who put that mp3 together. i ripped the audio from that "smoking video" and ran it through a compressor/limiter which sort of takes the quiet parts and makes them as loud as the loud parts. if you guys think its worth looking into further i'll try some other things. in the last few seconds of the clip i thought i heard two different voices talking to eachother, so i think this might just be a walkie talkie feed or something like that. i agree that at 2:06 it sounds like "determination", and it doesnt get repeated.
And what about being in Crawford this weekend after announcing he'd changed his scheudle not to go? Why lie about it?
putting to waste some good money that could have been used in other areas of development for the business involved.
Thanks for offering this great service to learn about wholesale bead. I have a website about wholesale bead which makes me very interested in what you have going here. I think I am going to start up my own blog so I can spread the news! Thanks you are offering this great service!
