[FedCom] The hump on Bush's back

[Punworg]

At least people are asking.  This is from Salon's "War
Room" yesterday:

Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman was deep into his
pre-debate spin with a group of reporters in Tempe
this afternoon when he was asked about the bulge on
Bush's back. "I didn't see it, I didn't pay attention
to it, "Mehlman said. "I was amused to hear that
someone thought it was a transmitter."

Mehlman kept saying he doesn't know what people saw in
the suit, and he started joking about whether his own
suit had a bulge. A reporter cut him off and asked:
"Who knows what it is?" Mehlman responded: "I do not
know. I will try to find out and tell you."

Pressed for a "legitimate explanation," Mehlman said:
"The president is an alien. You heard it here first.
The president is an alien. That's your quote of the
day. He has been getting information from Mars. The
shock of the debate will be the president's alien past
will be exposed, which is why that box is there."

When Mehlman was done laughing, War Room asked him why
the White House or the Bush-Cheney campaign won't come
clean about what caused the bulge. "I have to tell
you, I really don't know the answer to the question.
We will try to find out the answer. I honestly don't
know the answer to that question. I did not notice the
box. As a guy that buys suits off the rack, I'm used
to suits that don't fit right. If I were in your
business, I'd be able to get tailored suits."

We'll be waiting for Mehlman to get back to us. In the
meantime, we also put the question to Bush-Cheney
spokesman Steve Schmidt and RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie:
Why not put the story to rest by saying what caused
the bulge? Both men laughed, Schmidt said "stop," and
then they walked away.
