Steve Cobble: How Do You Lose 3 Debates Wearing a Wire?: "

Believe it or not, tomorrow (10/13) marks one year since John Kerry swept all 3 Presidential debates from George W.

Yet the MSM still has not gotten to the bottom of whether or not the swaggering leader of the 'Only Indispensable Nation' was cheating in the debates, by wearing a wire.
The blogs did a good job last year raising hell about it, and the evidence seemed pretty clear to me--i.e., my eyes still work.

(I never did understand why Kerry didn't just slap W on the back during the opening handshake...or carry his microphone over closer to W, for some nice Jimi Hendrix feedback action...)

The evidence was even clearer to Dr. Robert Nelson of NASA, who ran a series of ingenious little experiments which showed dramatically that 'W' stands for 'Wired'.

But according to FAIR, the only papers which showed any initial interest in a real scientist demonstrating that our Prez was a cheater, quickly got cold feet.

The story just died. Or was killed.

Note these words of wisdom from Arianna's main man Bill Keller (as reported by Dave Lindorff, who dug into this story for both Salon & FAIR: 'In the end, nobody, including the scientist who brought it up, could take the story beyond speculation. In the crush of election-finale stories, it died a quiet, unlamented death.'

Quiet? There's some circular reasoning, given that they wouldn't pursue the story.

Unlamented? That's just not true.

Maybe it wasn't a wire. Maybe it was some sort of medical device, as some suggested. I don't buy it, but doesn't the public deserve to know that, too?

Others suggested it was some sort of special Secret Service protection. Pretty doubtful. That contraption didn't look anything like the bulletproof jacket that Jesse Jackson had to wear several times when I was on his 1988 campaign. And it sure looks like a little wire, not any kind of body armor.

Whatever it was, it was weird; it was unique; it was newsworthy. And it was very likely cheating--in the presidential debates. Yet the MSM left the story totally alone.

I have an idea--maybe Mr. Fitzgerald could ask Dick & Karl what it was, the next time they chat...
