Bush Bulge Revisited
FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) has a fascinating look at the entire timeline of the bulge on Bush's back during one of the presidential debates.
As it turns out, the Times pursued a major story on this, using the findings of the NASA image analysis expert Robert Nelson, but the editors killed the story because of its potential to affect the election. They paper lied about the story for months, claiming it was never pursued, but has since admitted that it was.
Imagine living in a country where the "paper of record" kills a story about the president possibly being fed answers during a debate because it might affect the election. Scary, no? Let us put it out of our heads.

After the second debate, during which most people thought the President was better than the first debate, I heard several talk show hosts on KGO (San Francisco) talk about this same issue. They remarked that they thought he was fed answers during the debate, but there was no concrete proof. Too bad the pictures weren't published before the election.

The answer can be found here: http://www.lifecor.com .
He may have been wearing a receiver, but it is not what was on his back.
The square on his back is 6 in. by 6 in. -- too large for a receiver. Also, a review of closeups of hundreds of photos of Bush reveal no in-ear device.
It was something else, and you can compare the bulge to the device of http://wwww.lifecor.com .
