was bush wired during the last debate?

ok, so those of you who know me well know that i am susceptible to conspiracy theories. so i waited on this one for a day or two. but, well, i decided to go ahead and post this story because 1) it's just too interesting to pass up, and 2) it hasn't yet been disproven or sufficiently denied.

so, the story is that the candidates were NOT supposed to be filmed from the back during the debate, according the the rules agreed upon by their debate teams. but, a couple cameras did capture a shot of bush, leaning over his podium, with a clearly visible bulge in the middle of his back under his suit jacket. some bloggers have suggested that the bulge is evidence of a radio transmitter that delivered a radio signal to an earpiece--basically feeding lines to bush during the debate. it has been reported that during another event, people could hear a low voice saying bush's lines right before he said them. here's the story as reported on Salon.com.

the picture is in the below post. following fox: we report, you decide.
