the Sugar Conspiracy

This is the sugarconspiracy, after all

The rumours are flying:

Was President Bush literally channeling Karl Rove in his first debate with John Kerry? That's the latest rumor flooding the Internet, unleashed last week in the wake of an image caught by a television camera during the Miami debate. The image shows a large solid object between Bush's shoulder blades as he leans over the lectern and faces moderator Jim Lehrer.

The president is not known to wear a back brace, and it's safe to say he wasn't packing. So was the bulge under his well-tailored jacket a hidden receiver, picking up transmissions from someone offstage feeding the president answers through a hidden earpiece? Did the device explain why the normally ramrod-straight president seemed hunched over during much of the debate?

This site has all the pictures. Conspiracy theorists are claiming that the bulge is the answer to the President's stop-stutter speech pattern, as well as his strange behavior in the first Presidential debates. And then there's this:

Suggestions that Bush may have using this technique stem from a D-day event in France, when a CNN broadcast appeared to pick up -- and broadcast to surprised viewers -- the sound of another voice seemingly reading Bush his lines, after which Bush repeated them.

The lastest update from Salon is here. Or visit the clearinghouse for it all. Fun stuff.
