Bush’s exchange with Charlie Gibson is more proof

27 October 2004, 04:28

Please recall that this theory is based on more than the bulge, it’s bush odd speaking style- which he seems to replicate in this interaction with gibson.

This morning, in part two of his interview with Bush on ABC’s "Good Morning America," Charlie Gibson spit it out. Brandishing a copy of the photo, he asked: "Final question. What the hell was that on your back, in the first debate?"

Bush chuckled.

Bush: "Well, you know, Karen Hughes and Dan Bartlett have rigged up a sound system — "

Gibson: "You’re getting in trouble — "

Bush: "I don’t know what that is. I mean, it is, uh, it is, it’s a — I’m embarrassed to say it’s a poorly tailored shirt."

Gibson: "It was the shirt?"

Bush: "Yeah, absolutely."

Gibson: "There was no sound system, there was no electrical signal? There was —"

Bush: "How does an electrical — please explain to me how it works so maybe if I were ever to debate again I could figure it out. I guess the assumption was that if I was straying off course they would, kind of like a hunting dog, they would punch a buzzer and I would jerk back into place. I — it’s just absurd."

Doesn’t this appear to be another interaction with Bush pausing for instructions? First he "doesn’t know what it is", then he stumbles as if he’s listening "I mean, it is, uh, it is, it’s a" then he finishes Rove’s supplied sentence, "I’m embarrassed to say it’s a poorly tailored shirt."

I also like the ’I — it’s just absurd" same excuse he had when asked if he had prior knowledge of 9/11.
