Promptergate: Proof?

The marvellous Bob Fertik believes that Dubya used an earpiece throughout his recent press conferences.

But how can we prove that Bush was lipsynching?

First, we need a videoblogger (like the fabulous CrooksandLiars.com) to assemble all the tell-tale clips in one place.

Second, we need professionals from several disciplines -- public speaking coaches, psychologists, linguists, etc. -- to analyze the evidence together.

Finally, we need one member of the White House Press Corps to ask Scott McClellan two simple questions:

Has Bush ever been fed answers through an earpiece? Was he fed answers during his press conference on March 16?

Expecting honesty from McClellan is rather naive. Still, a question of that sort might throw the administration flacks off their game for a minute or two -- always a pleasant spectacle. Expert testimony from public speaking coaches and linguists will not persuade the hard-core Bush fans, although everyone else will find their analyses interesting.
