Technical expert: Bush was wired

Further to the story below about Bush wearing a transmitter during the first TV debate...

Salon.com News has a photo (taken from the White House Web Site) of Bush driving his pickup truck on his ranch, wearing a T-shirt with an absolutely unmistakeable bulge of the same size and shape as the bulge shown in the first debate photos.
"There's no question about it. It's a pretty obvious one -- larger than most because it probably has descrambling capability," said Alex Darbut, technical and business development vice president for Resistance Technology in Arden Hills, Minn.
Darbut speculates that Secret Service Agents would want to be in contact with the President at all times while he is driving around his ranch. So the White House could have explained the bulge as a standard security precaution. But they didn't, did they? They denied the story completely, and even got the suit manufacturer to tell reporters that it's just the way the suit rumples up (bet he's going out of business by now!).

And get this - they even deny that Bush wears such devices on his ranch!
Campaign spokesman Reed Dickens denied that Bush has ever used an electronic device to aid his public speaking, insisting the president was wearing "nothing during the debates." When asked about the pictures taken at the Bush ranch, Dickens said the president has never used any devices except for cutting tools and earplugs to protect his ears from the high-decibel chainsaw. Nor has the Secret Service outfitted Bush with a hidden communications device, according to Dickens: "He doesn't need something like that because the Secret Service is always with him. They ride in the truck in the back. Wherever he goes, they're with him."
OK, so if we're gonna accept the Bush teams denials, what was that bulge during the debate? And if you deny there even WAS a bulge during the debate, what's that bulge under his T-shirt in the White House's own photo?

Does W stand for Wired? Is Bush a hunchback? A mutant X-man? Or one of Dr Evil's Fem-bots? Keep in touch with this developing story at IsBushWired.com.
