Updates...

Aside from my general notes below on the bulge bafflement and its relationship to the larger issue of conspiracy theory, we should also take note of two items of interest.

This piece may be of interest, although even some converts to this thesis now accept that protrusion as a shoulder blade.

There's a new site devoted to this controversy: BushBulge.com. I like the Bush/C3PO photo comparison.

A reader to Is Bush Wired? makes a terrific suggestion vis-a-vis the alleged Secret Service Agent's anonymous confession (referenced in an earlier post). The tale makes reference to Bill Clinton as another president who wore a wire for security purposes, although not in a debate situation. Which means that Clinton can confirm this story. At least in substantial part. He cannot confirm that Bush was wired for the debates, but he can confirm whether presidents do wear wires in a general sense.

I was intrigued by the way the bulge popped up during the famous/infamous Jon Stewart segment of Crossfire. An audience member directed a question on the subject to Stewart. The host pounced and declared the matter a non-story. It's just a wrinkle in the jacket, we were told.

Most of those who have seen the photos disagree. So do many who have heard the audio. Why not let Stewart speak for himself?

9/11 COMMISSION BULGE IS REAL!!!!

Breaking News at BUSH WIRED! have personally seen the video of this bulge several times. Its there... CONCLUSIVELY. Source: Fahrenheit 9/11 DVD - Special Features section - New Scenes- "Bush After His "Visit" with the 9/11 Commission". IF ANYONE CAN CAPTURE THIS VIDEO AN POST IT - DO IT - This footage needs to get OUT THERE!

Again note the pauses in Bush's speech.

Jon Stewart didn't seem to understand what Begala and Carlson were talking about when the bulge was brought up. I don't think he was kidding, I really think he didn't know anything about the bulge story.

I wonder if God suddenly stops talking to Bush every time he goes home and takes off his bulge?

I agree, Jon Stewart either didn't understand or couldn't hear the audience member's auestion about Bush's "hump" or, since he had been on vacation, just had no idea (he did have a nice tan that night). Carlson and Begala really looked like IDIOTS, but they certainly didn't "pounce" on the question.

When I saw the Jon Stewart Crossfire encounter, it seemed to me that Stewart felt himself at a loss for words -- perhaps because he felt that there was something to the story, but did not want to invite ridicule. However, it may have been that he simply was unfamilar with the controversy.
