Truth of George Bush Bulge-gate revealed

[jesusq]

George W. Bush apparently was wearing a medical device for "persons at risk of cardiac arrest." It is a LifeVest wearable defibrillator, made by the LifeCor Co., near Pittsburgh, PA. He started using it sometime after his January 2002 fainting spell, which was attributed to choking. Based on photos showing him wearing the device, one can conclude the fainting was due to atrial fibrillation (AF), which his father also had.



Of course my opinion is (give me a minute to put on my tinfoil hat) is that the bulge is an X-Box video game device patched to Bush's central nervous system and controlled by Karl Rove. That would explain Bush's rapid blinking, sudden leaps from his stool and his drooling during the debates. Bush's strange reactions and mannerisms was probably due to Rove having a little trouble getting used to the thumb pad controls, which is a common problem for us 35+ folks. Bush is not Rove's puppet after all. He is more akin to a virtual reality action figure.

1. saw this on barcop.com originally. certainly looks like that's what it

is. what's the white house say about this>?

[jesusq]

9. Badly tailored shirt

They originally blamed in on a badly tailored shirt. Now I have worn many a badly tailored shirt right out of the package with the sharp creases and that little cardboard thing that keeps the collar crisp, and I never had a bulge like that! Really!

It is surreal if you think about it. The President is wearing a life support system, the VP has a little Sears Die-hard implanted in his chest and they are hunting an elusive 6'5" Arab man dragging around a 500lb dialysis machine around the caves of Pakistan.

The good news is that we don't have to impeach Bush/Cheny. We can just remove their batteries.

15. removing the batteries of a republican office-holder

is a felony, under the "Eternal Life for Lord Cheney" act of 2001.

By the time the 2008 elections roll around, Cheney will be entirely mechanical, with his brain and his right pinky finger being the only bits of organic matter left in his body. He will personally crush his political opponents in the center-ring of a monster truck rally, which, by the yet-to-be-passed 30th ammendment to the constitution, will be the way future leaders of this country will be chosen.

17. what a shock...;)

21. LOL!!!

Superb! :D

2. Still not sure I believe that story...

gw is only in his early 50's and used to run regularly. He's not over weight. Did they really think the debates would be so stressful that he would have a heart attack?

Notice this article says "apparently." Remember, the administration after denying he was wearing anything said it was a bullet proof vest.

bush cheats. remember that.

4. George Walker Bush Born: 7/6/1946

That would make him 58.

[Merlot]

13. ok, he's older than I thought

They've told so many lies about what this was (and I forgot about the poorly tailored shirt and the French tailor) that it dosen't matter. And now the famous pretzil incident was really a heart problem?

They lie about everything.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

10. "used to run regularly"

Running got to be too much for his knees, as he did used to be a regular practitioner. $Deity knows he wasn't spending too much time working on the job.

It may be the only official press release about him that I can believe. That's why he sticks to riding a bicycle now, at least when he's not falling off.

14. Your age or overall health can have nothing to do with it.

My mom fainted at work when she was 50. After getting extensive tests, it was found that she had scar tissue on her heart which had caused arythmia (sp?). It likely came from a viral infection at one time - had nothing to do with the heart, but that was just one place the virus settled. Interestingly enough, it was only because she whacked her chin on the edge of a desk as she fell that she was able to "jolt" her heart back into rhythm.

Anyway, she was implanted with a defibrillator even though her physical health, her cholesterol, her blood pressure, everything just fine. So don't let Chimpy's apparent good physical health fool ya!

3. Why didn't they just come out and say it then?

It would've spared him a lot of grief, comedic or otherwise. Not that I care. I like your tinfoil hat version; I'll stick with that one.

[pbartch]

12. Why didn't he come out and say it? CUZ BUSH IS A LIAR!!!!!!!!

PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!

[bullimiami]

5. really. who the hell really knows

we do know they are liars. they lie about everything, instinctively.

first reaction to anything. lie. then cover up the lie with more lies.

simple fact is, it is NOT a poorly tailored suit or any of the other half baked excuses they have come up with.

it shouldnt be like pulling teeth to get the truth out of somone who is supposed to be serving us. but the fact is this government thinks they are entitled and that we serve them.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

6. I know I've seen this posted at DU earlier.

[OhioBlue]

7. I've seen it before

not sure what the bulge is - don't really care if it is a defibrillator, bullet proof vest, or a reception device for his ear piece. Whatever it was, - to me it came down to a non-issue. He probably duct taped something to his back to create a media stir and take the emphasis off the fact that - He SUCKED during the debate, he is incompetent and an embarrassment to our Country.

(edit for grammar)

16. It's his

tail

[Merlot]

23. LOL - yes, that's it! You've figured it out!

[Verve]

8. LOL! I like your opinion much better! Ya know Rove would if he could!

Would have saved the repugs alot of embarrassment in the debates if they could've rigged Chimp up like a puppet!

[impeachthescoundrel]

11. Is it really a defribrillator?

I just do not know about that. I saw this posted before. Of course chimp boy is likely scared of a little surgery.

I also saw a reply by a nurse who said the defribrillator would be implanted. I must agree except that chimpy is probably afraid of a little surgery.

I personally have a defribrillator. It was implanted in 2002.

I mainly use it as a crutch but it is a great comfort to me nevertheless.

18. It's not a defibrillator...

I don't know what it is but it's not a defibrillator.

Defibrillator's are used for V Tach, and V fib. Not for A Fib. A pacemaker is used for A Fib.

If King George needed a pacer/Defibrillator(he could have both in the same instrument if'n he needed it) It would be very small, and inserted under the skin just above the Rt. Breast. That would be very inconspicuous.

A agree with other threads that this was some kinda communication device. A cheat device of some sort.

Kinda reminds you a little of Watergate, doesn't it?

19. Usually implanted above the Lt. breast. Sorry about that.

[trotsky]

22. Yes, I agree.

My mom's was implanted, and she has an extremely small frame. Much more likely to have been a communications device. Especially with the "Now let me finish..." comment to no one in the room that was interrupting him.

20. it's just his tricycle handlebars....
