A THOUSAND DECIBELS?!
yeesh.
I think the idea would be to make him look more foolish, not to liquefy him with soundwaves on national TV.
Well, when I was watching the debate, I thought Bush’s expressions suggested that he was listening to something. When he paused to “think,” his face would go blank; thousand yard stare. He’s normally got a pretty expressive face; it seemed very much like he was listening to someone. NOw that I see the bulge, I feel even more strongly that he was being coached.

Quoting from an article in the NYT about “the bulge”:
The campaign spokesman flip-flop:
First they said that pictures showing the bulge might have been doctored. But then, when the bulge turned out to be clearly visible in the television footage of the evening, they offered a different explanation.
“There was nothing under his suit jacket,” said Nicolle Devenish, a campaign spokeswoman.
“It was most likely a rumpling of that portion of his suit jacket, or a wrinkle in the fabric.”
Ms. Devenish could not say why the “rumpling” was rectangular.
Nor was the bulge from a bulletproof vest, according to campaign and White House officials; they said Mr. Bush was not wearing one.
