Hot Gossip: Bush Wired for Sound

This one is too good to pass up. Wondering why Bush suddenly and for no reason said, "Let me finish," in the middle of his rebuttal, when nobody had interrupted him and he still had plenty of time?

Maybe you figured it was just force of shut-down-the-opposition habit? Nope. A synaptic misfire due to pre-1973 coke use? Good guess, but no. Talking to the voices in head? In a manner of speaking. An invisible friend? Getting warmer...

You see, it turns out that George may have been using an earpiece. That would explain the outburst, plus the many long pauses where he seemed to be lost, then suddenly got back to his message. Not buying it? Check out the photo.

Turns out it wasn't the first time, either.

C'mon dems, this is your chance. Get Al Gore to come up with some kind of gizmo that will intercept the transmission, run a mike line to the dem war room, then just whisper in Bush's ear, "I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt", sit back, and watch the votes roll in.

Now that would be cunning.
