If you watched or Tivoed today's Bush press conference on ABC, post here:
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 01:48 PM by originalpckelly
Your video is needed to confirm or debunk rumors that the President was fed lines today at his press conference. There have been a number of people who have come forward saying they heard lines being fed to the President, only on ABC's coverage of the press conference. The theory being that the President and the news network used the same frequency for their wireless transmitters (something quite possible) and that they intercepted lines being fed to Bush.

This rumor is not totally without merit, considering the strange jerky nature of Bush's responses to questions and the previous rumors of the same activity, which were sparked by this photo:


It was from the 2004 elections, the rumor was that the square bulge on his back was a wireless transmitter to receive lines.

If you have video or watched please respond below.

1. This could be very big...
a very big scandal right before the election. It would show how disingenuous Bush was being about his flip flop.

10. Wasn't it very big in 2004 also? Yet, nothing happened then
I have always wondered how on earth he got away with such a blatant action. I guess the media and others gave him a pass.

3. The story is that no one else heard this on other channels...
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 01:51 PM by originalpckelly
and someone checked ABC's online version and it was not there. But so many people said they heard it, that it will not simply go away like the weird bulge on bushes back.

I know I watched on MSNBC and CNN, and I didn't hear anything. I will not that on MSNBC the coverage went kind of weird and blocky during the PC.

6. didn't see it
but very interested to see if anyone has a video of this feed and what kind of cross-talk there may be.

That "shadow" explanation during the debates was laughable. There's clearly something under there.

8. Well, I looked over at ABC's message board...
but no dice other than someone else asking if that happened. I asked again to see if someone did hear it.

Probably just some dumb rumor.

11. They Would Come Up With A "Plausible" Explanation
It would definitely be a scandal for a debate, thus I think each candidate should have to submit to a pat-down. However, I can see them coming up with some "plausible" explanation for a presser...he needs it for SS communications, blah, blah blah. If ever questioned about it they would say they can't give a specific answer for security reasons.

...don't get me wrong, I think this ass-hat is getting answers fed to him, and that's enough evidence to make a case of lack of integrity and character, not to mention intelligence...but I don't see this ever rising to the level of a scandal.

14. just click on HTML lookup table when you post and you'll see
the explanation. Just copy and paste from the example and adapt it.

But if it's a link to a site you can just put the adress in your post and it will show up as a link.
