I posted this ages ago in another forum, but in jest. I can't believe anyone would take seriosuly the idea that they would stick a transmitter in the middle of his back when there is plenty of room in the small of the back or under his arms.

Who knows what it is, it could be a bandaid or a heat pack for a sore back, and they don't want to admit to it, and I don't see why they should. But this is the kind of thing the internet(s) was built for.

I thought the response of mark mckinnon, media director of the bush campaign, was funny:

"Since we put the metal plate in his head, we have had some measure of success with audio transmissions to the President."
