The tailor takes the rap

The suit Bush wore in the first debate was made by -- oh, the irony! -- a man named Georges de Paris, who has just now taken the rap for the mystery bulge. I've seen many a badly-made jacket (and have even worn one or two), but I've never seen one that looked like it was hiding something the size of a Kleenex box between the shoulder blades. Georges can't be right about this. If he is, he's the worst tailor a national leader has had since that Emperor in the fairy tale went starkers.

Talk about non-denial denials:

"The truth is not nearly as interesting," McKinnon told MediaChannel.org. "The president has never been assisted by any audio signal."

The question is whether he's being assited by an electronic signal, not an audio one. And that denial is so carefully parsed that it invites suspicion.
