Even the Times now

Even the Times now is asking whether President Bush was wearing a wire in the first debate. When asked, the Bush campaign first said the photograph in question had been doctored. When shown that it was taken directly from the official debate feed, a spokeswoman, Nicolle Devenish, said it was “most likely a rumpling of that portion of his suit jacket, or a wrinkle in the fabric.” Said the Times: “Ms. Devenish could not say why the ‘rumpling’ was rectangular.”
