My official position until now has been that this ear piece thing is silly bullshit. Now I have two questions that need answers:

1. What is the bulge in his back?
2. What is the voice in that press conference?

I believe it's possible there are non-earpiece related answers to these questions. The Bush people could easily explain what the hell is on his back. Someone with a technical background can explain the second.

However, I will note that during the press conference, the voice comes up BEFORE Bush speaks - which is odd for an echo - AND, it doesn't appear to match up exactly with what Bush says. At the end, the voice says, "this is a positive step forward for Iraq" while Bush says, "AND this is a positive step forward for Iraq." (I've read posts online from people who heard the whole thing who say this happened throughout - it was not a word for word parallel - but I don't know who those people are and can't judge the accuracy of their comments.)

It's possible I missed the "and" in the voice - the audio's not 100% - but in any case, we have two unexplainanble things here. An earpiece would be an explanation, but I'm not convinced it's the only explanation.

I will also point out that, if there was someone feeding him lines in that press conferece, Bush handled it quite smoothly. There are no awkward pauses and the rest like we saw during the debate. I don't know what that means, but it's an interesting inconsistency.
