quote:Check out the president's peculiar behavior during the debate, they say. On several occasions, the president simply stopped speaking for an uncomfortably long time and stared ahead with an odd expression on his face. Was he listening to someone helping him with his response to a question? Even weirder was the president's strange outburst. In a peeved rejoinder to Kerry, he said, "As the politics change, his positions change. And that's not how a commander in chief acts. I, I, uh -- Let me finish -- The intelligence I looked at was the same intelligence my opponent looked at." It must be said that Bush pointed toward Lehrer as he declared "Let me finish." The green warning light was lit, signaling he had 30 seconds to, well, finish.
quote:Suggestions that Bush may have using this technique stem from a D-day event in France, when a CNN broadcast appeared to pick up -- and broadcast to surprised viewers -- the sound of another voice seemingly reading Bush his lines, after which Bush repeated them.
Well! It's still just a rumor, but wow! It would really explain some of Bush's strange behavior during the first debate.

I don't know, the thing about CNN picking up a broadcast of someone reading out the same lines coming out of Bush's mouth... that's pretty bizarre.

I swear i saw Bush's mouth moving when he was sitting down taking notes at last night's debate. It's driving me nuts that no one else has noticed this, at least now i have a possible explanation. At best he was mouthing what he wrote down, which doesn't exactly bolster my confidence in him.
