Cheaters Never Prosper



It seems as if Bush can't win a debate even when he might be cheating (his favorite pastime since childhood schooldays). The Blogosphere is rife with rumors that the "mystery bulge" seen under the back of Bush's jacket in minute 23 of the first debate with Johnny K. could very well have been an electronic audio prompter feeding Bush answers. There have been previous suspicions that Bush has used such a device before, so it's not as far-fetched as it seems, especially when part of the negotiations for the debate set-up stipulated that--as the Bush campaign urged--there be no cameras mounted behind the candidates. Ironically, though, Fox News (aka the Bush Campaign Network) went ahead and put cameras behind them anyway. Read the entire story on Salon (If you don't have a Salon Premium membership and don't want one, just watch the commercial for the free day pass).
