Salon.com News | NASA photo analyst: Bush wore a device during debate

Oct. 29, 2004 | George W. Bush tried to laugh off the bulge. "I don't know what that is," he said on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday, referring to the infamous protrusion beneath his jacket during the presidential debates. "I'm embarrassed to say it's a poorly tailored shirt."

Dr. Robert M. Nelson, however, was not laughing. He knew the president was not telling the truth. And Nelson is neither conspiracy theorist nor midnight blogger. He's a senior research scientist for NASA and for Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and an international authority on image analysis. Currently he's engrossed in analyzing digital photos of Saturn's moon Titan, determining its shape, whether it contains craters or canyons.

Ough. This should impact the election, but I doubt that it will. In this case it seems we have scientific evidence that Bush is lying when he claims there was nothing underneath his shirt except from bad tailoring and wrinkles.

[Update 2004.11.01] Anders has some interesting new links to the spectacle of the Bush bulge. Possible medical problems and the LIFEcor LifeVest.

The question is: If Bush has a serious medical condition, shouldn't the american voters have the right to know upfront?
