Regarding Russert, Shrum, Mehlman and the bulge...

[truthpusher]

Extraordinarily creepy exchange overheard on 'Meet the Press' today:

MR. RUSSERT: Before we go, Mr. Mehlman, clear up this mystery that has been raging on the Internet. This was the first debate, George Bush at the podium, the bulge in the back of the suit. All right. Come clean. What is it?

MR. MEHLMAN: The president, in fact, was receiving secret signals from aliens in outer space. You heard it here on MEET THE PRESS.

MR. SHRUM: You mean you sent Rove into orbit.

MR. RUSSERT: It was not a bulletproof vest or magnets for his back or anything?

MR. MEHLMAN: I'm not sure what it was, but the gentleman responsible for the tailoring of that suit is no longer working for this administration.

MR. SHRUM: Well, wait a minute. Now, the president only wears Oxford clothes. I'll bet that tailor is still there.

MR. RUSSERT: May we all be smiling this way on November 2.

Bob Shrum, thank you.

MR. SHRUM: Thank you.

MR. MEHLMAN: Thanks a lot.

MR. RUSSERT: Thank you all.

1. That's such a lie

There's like a historical precedent to the presidential tailor. It's been this fat little frenchman for ages now. They wouldn't fire him. It's weird that he would lie over such a little thing. I guess it was a joke, but it's still strange to me.

Also, and this is coming as someone who does not believe the wire story at all, these non-denial denials coming from Bush people are just bizarre to me.
