If he is, it's even worse than I thought

Salon today had an article about a "mysterious bulge" on the President's back, captured by (of all things) Fox News cameras at last week's debates. There's apparently been some discussion of late over whether the President is wired for sound. He's been caught at least once using an audio prompter, which, as one of these articles points out, is no sin; it's like a teleprompter for people who can't read. (Subtle jab.)

But if his mushmouthed debate performance was scripted, then man, they need to hire new writers.

Hey, here's an idea: naked debate! No wires, no handlers.
