Conspiracy Theory? Or Reality?
I was pretty much ignoring the "Bush was wired" blog headlines, figuring that the bulge on Bush's back was a result of a bulletproof vest under his jacket.
There's something clearly there in both debates so far.
But the fact that the White House continues to deny that he was wearing anything is giving this one legs. If they simply said "We cannot comment in the interests of national security" then we'd just assume that the Secret Service put it there and there's not a lot we can do about it.
But the continuing denials do 2 things. #1 Keeps the story going.
And #2: Once again, if they're willing to look the American People in the eye and tell a bald-face lie about a little thing, what else are they willing to lie about?
