BULGE NEWS:
• THE BULGE UNVEILED??? A reader has submitted THIS PHOTO from the back cover of David Frum's book, "The Right Man : The Surprise Presidency of George W. Bush" as listed on Amazon.com. AMAZING. Is this the bulge or just a normal radio of some sort? Note that the size/shape is about correct, and the long wire is also present. If this device was worn on Bush's back, under a jacket with the wire snaking over the shoulder it could look exactly like the bulge. Compare to other Bulge pics in the PHOTO GALLERY .
- Audio experts and geeks: what is this thing?
• There have also been numerous reports of Bulges, wires, and coaching in the last week as President Bush has been in Europe on a "goodwill" tour. I looked closely at several photos sent in to BushWired, and didn't see anything worth posting in the PHOTO GALLERY. In fact, I'm certain most photos are simply translation earpieces as in this PHOTO from the White House site .
• There is a new Bulge Yahoo Group dedicated to the Bulge started by Bob Fertik of Democrats.com. who also posted on a new VIDEO last week. More prompting or just "Bush-speak"?
BACK ON TOPIC:
How can it be that such a simple question, "What was the bulge on president Bush's Back" has turned into a strangely woven web of mystery? Why is this story so persistent and popular? Entering the sixth month of this odd Bulge story we still don't have any conclusive answers, and the search for a plausible explanation continues. People still want the truth...
I feel the Bulge debate has shifted off-topic in the last months. In the weeks before the election we all screamed for some sort of serious media "investigation" into the very obvious Presidential Bulge. Some questions were asked by the media but the story was largely dismissed. We all know now that the New York Times decided to "kill" its story on the Bulge the week before the election. If serious media investigation had occurred it very well may have had an effect on the election results... we'll never know.
I feel any sort of serious reporting on the Bulge is important and needed. The story is real and the possible ramifications of the Bulge are quite serious and even disturbing. The pubic and bloggers everywhere are right to harshly criticize the press for ignoring this story... they are not doing their job. I'm happy that the New York Times had to admit and answer to its killing of the Bulge story.
Nevertheless, all the criticism of the media has also served to water down the main point of the Bulge mystery... WHAT IS IT? While we all focus on the media we forget that there is an answer out there. There are so many unanswered facets to this mystery, if the media won't look into further, people will need to do it on their own...
- What happened to the investigation of further VIDEO evidence that Bush wore a wireless coaching device? In addition to the hotly debated "Chirac" video (see this thread from Cannonfire) , there have been numerous reports of other video and audio tapes where prompting was documented. Salon reported on this previously, and had a source who promised to release some audio recordings... I never heard any follow-up.
- I'm not a total believer in the "Defibrillator Theory", but I do admit that it is interesting and has some good supporting "evidence". In fact, this theory has actually gained steam in the last months and I think the topic is still worthy of debate in addition to the Coaching Theory.
- Photos. There are a lot of photos of President Bush; online, magazines, video, etc... I'm sure there are many more Bulge photos yet to be found ... It will take many more eyes than my own to find them. Remember how important the few photos of the Bulge have been, without them we may still be talking about a 'fabric pucker". Please, take a look around the "internets" and share any links to photos in the comments section below!
- Please post any interesting Bulge info in the comments section as well... thats what makes these blogs work!

thats it.
The photo shows a transmitter for a wireless microphone of the type that clips to a lapel. Standard use in interviews. If this is the bulge then it only shows that Bush wore a microphone during the debates.
I've received a few e-mails saying that the new bulge photo is a simple lapel-microphone transmitter... I've received just as many mails saying that the device pictured is a 2-way secret service device, known to be worn by the President and other top gov't officials.
...keep diggin'

The latest Bulge photo posted on BushWired is definitely NOT a smoking gun... or an answer to the Bulge Mystery... but its interesting nonetheless.
I've recived a bunch of e-mail about this photo, the comments fall into two categories... a wireless microphone (a lapel mic) and a Secret Service radio device.
Before posting the photo yesterday, I had sent the image to a few people who also felt that the photo was a lapel microphone or Secret Service radio of some sort... they're probably right.
However, that doesn't mean that the device WAS NOT the Bulge... Bush could have very well worn either of these devices during the debates when the Bulge was seen.
In fact, Bush was seen to have a WIRE running under his tie in Debate #2 (a lapel mic?). The question now would be: Did wearing such a device violate the debate rules? If the debates prohibited this type of device what was its purpose? If such a device was allowed, why would the Bush camp deny that a wireless lapel mic was used?
It may be a good time to review the official debate rules again... If I remember correctly there were some rather "fishy" provisions in these rules.
Also remember (way back in October), that there were several reports that Bush was indeed wired by the Secret Service (as have most recent Presidents) as part of the Presidential security protocall. A few of these reports also mentioned that the device used by the Secret Service is a two-way radio device with a wireless earpiece. It was previously alleged that THIS device was used to prompt Bush during the debates... and not a stand-alone system.
Either of the above are still largely unanswered questions and worthy of further discussion and investigation.
In my effort to get BushWired back "on-topic" investiagting the details of the bulge (vs. media criticism) I thought it would be good to post the photo of Bush.
We are going through some of the old posts, comments, debate rules, etc. at BushWired and hope to make a specific update shortly.

i forgot about those strange debate rules. didn't they say that bush was not to be shown from the back and that there was to be a room with a closed circuit TV monitor backstage and nobody was allowed to be in this room? if so why have the monitor?
where can i find the debate rules?
its a good point that bush could have used his secret service communications for something other than security. that would explain how a device could have been smuggled into the debate so easy. who was on the other end? there must be records somewhere. this seems possible now and easy to do for the crooks in the white house.
Bush started wearing a "hearing aide" during the Debates for the GOP nomination in 2000. It was mentioned in the news at the time..during those debates with Forbes, McCain etc...he was clueless...until they "discovered" his "hearing" problem. If someone has the time and can access those papers covering the debates,or tapes of them you'll notice his answers got somewhat better.....maybe get better photos..

Iwish they would impeach him, for the many lies he has told the Amercican people. he's certainly can,t hear or don't care what the American people have to say. No he doesn,t know how it feels to lose your son, he don,t have a son. Or even lose a daughter. He acts like a dictator himself. He makes me sick with that stupid laught, shoulders shaking Stay in Crawford and do ,whatever he wants to do there. quit screwing up our country I knew people would regret realecting him for a second term. He must have had so many people fooled. oh! how people regret it now. He's not a christian man. He;s a war monger Please get him out of our Whitehouse,before he causes more hatered and distrution .He's simply a trouble maker. He'll never want to stop trouble. That's what he likes best He is the reason we are being overrun by Hispantic and getting no jobs in this country He is sending all our jobs to other country.Like i said if we don't do something with him soon. Americans in this country will soon have no jobs to support our ownself. Just look where he's got us so far.
