> Bush Blows Debate: Talks to Rove in Earpiece!

4 October 2004, 19:53

The reasoning behind an earpiece is the same as evidence of the Loch Ness Monster. Looking at photos and SPECULATING that there’s a battery box/receiver on his back? Look at it another way: What if he was wearing an earpiece? Would his handlers not have better concealed the box in his pockets? Wouldn’t greater evidence be something in his ear?

As for his "let me finish" comment, couldn’t it have been to Jim Lehrer? Lehrer several times during the debate interjected to try to get a concise summary of positions. The camera was not on Lehrer, but he was sitting across from GW and Kerry, so pointing ahead and saying "let me finish" seems consistent with that.

Check out Occam’s Razor. The simplest explanation is the most likely. Only after throwing out the simple solutions can you offer up something like this one.

Don’t get me wrong - I despise Bush and am voting for Kerry, but false accusations just make the accuser look ridiculous and give Bush’s supporters more ammunition for attacking Kerry (via his supporters).
