How come there is not a topic on the mysterious square that everyone is seeing on Bush's back? Some say it may be a transmitter, the party says it was a wrinkle in the fabric. It's been seen at both debates. What do you think?

The what?

Perhaps you should find a picture of said square so all of us know what you're talking about.

Source 1

Picture because reducing the size would distort it too much.

Another source with bad formatting

This has already been debunked. No, it's not a transmitter that let's Cheny whisper debate answers into his ear. (bush is dum lol) No, it's not a giant tumor. His tailor came out and said it the way the damn suit is cut. Not his finest work. Of course I'm sure the tin foil hat crowd won't buy that either. I think it was on CNN or Yahoo news a few days ago.

Probably for the same reason that there isn't a thread about the piece of paper that Kerry pulled out of his jacket pocket.

It doesn't fucking matter.

I would think a transmitter would matter much more than a piece of paper.

If someone was feeding him information, I hope he wouldn't sound like a broken fucking record.

Who cares anyway.  By watching this crap, you only encourage them.

This was obviously cooked up by idiots.  There would be no point to putting a transmitter on Bush.  Everyone can hear him just fine, and with the Secret Service all around him, I doubt he'd be lost.

Now, if the afore mentioned retards were refering to a RECEIVER, then it's still rediculous.  For one, the size of a reciever needed to pick up a signal from that far away would be extremely small, especially if the transmitter were more powerful.  The only thing of size in such a thing would be the battery, which would be either hidden in the pocket or also be so small as to be invisable.  Also, placing such a device on the back between the shoulder blades is idiotic.  It would be hard to stick it there in such a way that it wouldn't come loose with movement, such as shaking hands vigerously and patting each other on the back after the debate.  THAT's even for moderately ranged devices.  In this environment, something in the ear, or placed in side the mouth, along the jaw, would have been much more likely.

Of course, no one expects tabloids to be believable...
