Sentient parasite with tentacles? Sounds like Cheney to me.

Pic of the Cheat Sheet?

Even if that photo does show a very detailed, small-print “cheat sheet” on Bush’ podium (it’s indistinct enough that you see what you want to see), Bush would be seen reading it during the debate. He didn’t take many notes and didn’t look down much.
Kerry and Bush’ camps made the rules. Why would they make rules and break them with risky, easily-discovered strategies that would make them look like dorks?
I agree. It’s just sort of funny to watch Republicans desperate for SOME excuse to explain why their guy is such an empty bumbler, try to make what is at worst a pen look like the explanation for why Kerry dominated. At least they’ve stopped blaming hurricane victims, like drudge tried to spin right after the debate.
Cheat sheet my ass, I’m floored by the posture of Bush fils in that photo. Next in line for the C. Montgomery Burns lookalike prize, he is. And I sincerely doubt that he’ll be bringnig anyone any love or peace anytime soon.
I’m thinking that if Bush had an earpiece in (I don’t think he did, myself) I seriously doubt that it’d be susceptible to being hijacked by just anyone with a wireless transmitter. At least, not if the people who set it up have any brains. If I were going to set up a wireless system for such a situation, you can damn well bet the signal would be encrypted digital, not just a open analog system for anyone with a scanner to pick up. Dollars to donuts someone in the press corps did have a scanner anyways, and can you imagine the embarrassment of a recording of the transmissions being released? With an encrypted digital signal, all a scanner would pick up would be static, and even if you transmit crap on that frequency, the worst you could do would be to hiss static in the president’s ear. So no calling his mother names, or feedback squeals at inopportune times. Which is a pity, really, cuz it’d be funny to see him suddenly clutching at his ear.
When’s the last time you could clearly discern anything Carville said?
Clearly, Carville was only for distraction purposes, which is why they always shined a spotlight at his head.
I can get behind that message. That’s the sort of thing that would win my vote. I might even work for that campaign. Honesty in politics; It’s Time.
One of the funniest bits on TV, ever, IMHO: Peter Griffin on ‘Family Guy’ sees James Carville, and exclaims something like “Ah God!! Did somebody open the Ark Of The Covenant?”
I always enjoyed Dennis Miller’s description of Carville as “a muppet that got left in the dryer too long.” Makes me smile every time.
Maybe GWB wasn’t using an earpiece, maybe he was using this .
Aw, geez, it’s hard enough getting time to contribute, now you want cites, too? What’s this world coming to???
