[FedCom] The hump on Bush's back

[Punworg]

I agree that any discussion of this subject should be
strictly non-political.  It's an intriguing theory
because various pieces seem to fit: prior incidents of
"leaking" audio prompts, changes in speaking style,
and then the debate humps.  I'm not seeing ANY
first-hand claim of anyone actually monitoring
anything.  The White House has expressly denied any
audio assistance for the president.  But the White
House also denies body armor, and there were
definitely foreign objects on the president's back
during the first two debates.  If someone credibly
explains what they were, then the story probably
fades.  Otherwise, it may be in for a long ride.  Save
those "body wire" frequency lists.  It would be the
catch of a lifetime.
