Lots of things can cause mysterious audio to appear. Remember the "colorful" 
language accidently broadcast on CNN when the balloons weren't falling to 
the satisfaction of the fellow at the DNC in Boston?

Politicians are vain people and vain people want to only be seen in the best 
possible light. The backsides of the candidates are not their best views. 
Most likely they didn't want to be seen from those angles.

Both candidates agreed to the rules of engagement. Speaking of the rules, 
what was that thing that Kerry pulled out of his jacket just before the 
first debate? It sure looked like a piece of paper to me. Whether it was a 
cheat sheet or a ballpoint pen like his campaign claimed, it was a violation 
of the rules of engagement, but he seems to be getting a pass on it except 
for Drudge.

I guess others are following the ABC "Halperin doctrine" of holding the Bush 
to a more stringent standard, right?
