"Smoking video" of Bush being prompted?

A poster to Is Bush Wired offered an intriguing comment and link. I have not yet gone through the sign-in rigmarole myself, so I cannot verify at present if the "second voice" operates as described.

See -- or rather hear -- for yourself. And if anyone can store the "incriminating" video in a more convenient place, by all means do so! Here's the data:

BUSH IS WIRED, and there’s archived video of the last debate where voices can clearly be heard. Video of the debate is on the website of Seattle station, KING5. You will have to register to access most stuff beyond the home page, but I'd just use a junk Hotmail or Yahoo account as the e-mail as you'll get a LOT of spam when you do register.
Go to www.king5.com, click on "Decision 2004" on the left menu bar, or go directly to:
http://www.king5.com/news/specials/politics/
Middle of the page, about 2/3 of the way down, look for the link "Final presidential debate", or go here:
http://www.king5.com/sharedcontent/washington/
politics_video/101304ccktpolVidDebate.2ce78bc0.html

Now click on "part one" and the video of the debate will launch.
The direct link to the video page is here - although it probably won't work directly unless an online account is created:

The question of “Economic security” starts at 10:15 with the question to Senator Kerry. Bush’s reply comes in at 12:48, with the statement, “Well his rhetoric doesn’t match his record”

Starting at about 13:00 to 14:00 when Bush starts spouting facts, PAY ATTENTION TO THE BACKGROUND NOISE. You can clearly hear a voice and if you listen closely, you can hear Bush pause as the voice states these facts via, of course, the wired box into his ear.

I heard this on a work PC with a pretty decent processor (P4 – 1.2 GHz), good sound card, and using iPod earbud type headphones. I’d think headphones are required to hear the sound correctly – or good speakers. Now I’m the first to debunk any of these “conspiracy” theories, but there is the sound, clear as day… and it’s not just on a Seattle station but other video feeds / archives as well. I think if enough people get together and extract these sounds the blog community can overshadow the Bush Administration’s cover up of this. I mean, my God, he can’t even answer a simple debate question without a wired feed, how’s he going to run this country???
