That mysterious bulge on President Bush’s back during the first presidential debate was not an electronic device feeding him answers, but a strap holding his bulletproof vest in place...
But sources in the Secret Service told The Hill that Bush was wearing a bulletproof vest, as he does most of the time when appearing in public. The president’s handlers did not want to admit as much during the campaign, for fear of disclosing information related to his personal security while he was on the campaign trail.
Well, duh. 30 seconds of thought should have told you that. But no. Must be another Rovian conspiracy. A campaigning president mixing with large crowds everyday has got to be a major headache for the Secret Service. I'm sure they really want someone from the administration saying "Yes, the President always wears a bulletproof vest" (so be sure to aim for the head). That whole ridiculous dust-up reminds me of reporters who ask "When exactly are you going to invade Fallujah? And with which units? And will you be coming from the north or the west?"
