Well, the White House's explanation is that its a wrinkle in the suit
jacket. THAT leaves quite a bit to the imagination. I find it remarkable
that the most likely other option (body armor) wasn't what they said, as
more folks could believe that.

When I noticed the bulge, my initial reaction was that it was a
bullet-proof vest or some sort of body armor, and I even commented as
such to SWMBO.

But for the White House folks to say that it was a "wrinkle"? Do
they really expect the public to be dumb enough to fall for that?

Oh, nevermind.

I think its a wire. The guy can't earn over a F+ in public speaking, and he
actually managed to pull off a C- in the first debate. And that 'Let me
finish' gaffe is too hard to ignore. You can see the entire debate on a
C-Span download (I watched it last night), and there are *plenty* of shots
of the bulge. Its hard to deny its existance, unlike WMDs.

I don't know if it's a wireless, or not, but to deny the fact that
something was clearly visible under his coat is, for lack of a better
phrase, a case of the emperor's new clothes, IMHO.
