[dogtag]

1. Just saw that . . .

you beat me to it. Yahoo also has a story that mentions it.

I'm SHOCKED the media is actually picking this up.

2. We are THIS close to the tipping point...

...where Bush is on the defensive for the rest of the campaign. A little bit more and the press is going to see Bush as a loser and treat him like one.

6. Tucker Askew spoksman called it backbone

[Phx_Dem]

20. Two big problems with the backbone line . . .

First of all, spineless warmongers don't have backbones. Secondly, that was a non-denial if I ever heard one! Which makes me beleive it all the more. The little shit probably cheated all the way through Yale and Harvard too. Can't you just see him cheating off the guy sitting next to him during a test?

Pathetic.

3. The media love hype

Do you suppose they smell blood in the water?


Rating on Yahoo! story is being freeped, BTW

5. He called it a backbone?????

wow...hmmm....wow....

[calimary]

19. Man, just looked at our tape of that debate.

During Minute 24, on our counter, there it is. You can see more than just that bulge, though. You can also see the profile of something vaguely "s"-shaped, snaking up to his right shoulder FROM that mysterious rectangular something in the middle of his back. My husband, who's fairly savvy about electronics but certainly no grand master, said "yep, that's a wire."

Whoa.

4. Backbone? Now we KNOW he's lying! n/t

[Joanne98]

7. BACKBONE? WTF? He said it wasn't body armor...........

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. He said it was evidence of a strong backbone

[Bossy Monkey]

15. THAT's the story we should run with; Eskew admits W needs prosthetic

backbone. Goes well with Skinner's picture of the idiots with the yellow W's

[Gabi Hayes]

12. Olbermann ANSWERED the question himself! WHY????

he completely let EsCHEW me off the hook; didn't make him anwer it seriously

he did not EXPLAIN what that thing on his back was

it's clearly not part of body armor, as you can't see any outline anywhere else

not that this matters, as chimpoid is going to embarrass himself tonight, revealing once again his true nature

[karlrschneider]

8. He's the Hunchback of Not a Damn...

;-)

[Shopaholic]

9. Tucker didn't answer the question.

That creates more questions in my mind!

[dogtag]

11. Sheeeet, one thing we know Shrub does NOT have

is a backbone!

[Nightjock]

13. How come Kieth did not say

"ok, that's a good one. But what is that box?"

I never believed the earpiece story. Now I think I do.

Do you think this story has legs until we get a real answer?

[dogtag]

14. Maybe it's a huge herniated disk and all that grimacing

is bravely disguised pain. Oh, no! I may have given them a good excuse.

[Nightjock]

16. EVERYONE PLEASE LOOK HERE

If you can --email Kieth and ask him to follow up. That was not a real answer. Whether you believe the theory or not, we should have an answer.
Kerry's campaign can't touch this story.

17. Keith got the photo out there. He should get our thanks

for doing that much. It will get picked up more and more now. Keith is our champion and takes a lot of risks. And he is consistently in our corner.

[Nightjock]

18. I agree

I did not mean it to sound like I was mad at him. I sent him a glowing email of appreciation.
