Straw poll shows 64% of republicans believe Bush is wired(75% overall)

Observant viewers of the first Bush-Kerry debate noted the clear outline of a rectangular object beneath the back of the president’s suit jacket, giving new life to months-long speculation that the earpiece he often wears may bring him talking points, if not from God then possibly from Karl Rove. Pressed for an explanation of the bulge, a campaign representative suggested that the mysterious shape was most likely "rumpling" or "a wrinkle”. Frank Shattuck, Bush’s tailor, disagreed. "There’s defintitely something there," he opined. "...But it’s not hidden very well. They should have come to me."

Was W wired during the first debate?

1)Probably. How else to explic Bush’s otherwise inexplicable "Let me finish" when no one was interrupting him? And why wouldn’t the White House reveal a legit source for the way-obvious shape if one existed?

2)No way. Karl Rove would never allow so detectable a stunt unless Bush were losing by at least 10 points. Could Dems please save the paranoid fantasies until after Kerry loses the Ohio recount?

3)Possibly. Bush may have been running a rogue operation of his own, strapping on an iPod so he could listen to Toby Keith while waiting for Kerry to stop bragging about his innumerable, boring "plans".
