It's the end of the world as we know it...

Politics, philosophy, the law, current events, left leaning debates, religion, baseball, football, pop culture, growing up Greek, random events in my life...whatever hits my mind at the time.

Bush is a cheater

So Jason has found some interesting stories that I managed to miss. Notably, the allegation that Bush might have had a wire and was FED his answers during the first debate (really, those answers were the best that his staff could do? No wonder the country is in shambles.)

* * * * *

The theory is that Karl Rove and his minions gave their incoherent and intellectually-challenged candidate a secret little earplug connected to a wireless receiver, so that he could be provided with answers and clever punch lines when he heard a question and came up empty.

Remember the peculiar interjection "Now let me finish!" which Bush blurted out angrily during the debate in Miami? It attracted the attention of commentators and observers, because no one had interrupted him.

No one we could hear, that is.

The comment came out of nowhere, because he was right in the middle of his answer, well within the prescribed time limit.

But what if someone, realizing that the president was flailing around desperately for an answer, had jumped into his earpiece, irritating him.

In fact, a hidden wire connected to Karl Rove or some flunky transmitting for Rove would also explain Bush's peculiar, hunched over stance and his frequent expressions of annoyance, as well as the uncomfortably long silences at odd points in his statementswhich looked just as if he were listening carefully to some instructions!

We shouldn't be surprised if it has come to this. Remember how Ronald Reagan used to use cue cards for everything? He even had cards that reminded him to say "Good Afternoon" when meeting a head of state (I
guess out of fear he might say "Good Morning" when it was afternoon).
