Oct. 29, 2004 | George W. Bush tried to laugh off the bulge. "I don't know what that is," he said on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday, referring to the infamous protrusion beneath his jacket during the presidential debates. "I'm embarrassed to say it's a poorly tailored shirt."

Dr. Robert M. Nelson, however, was not laughing. He knew the president was not telling the truth. And Nelson is neither conspiracy theorist nor midnight blogger. He's a senior research scientist for NASA and for Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and an international authority on image analysis. Currently he's engrossed in analyzing digital photos of Saturn's moon Titan, determining its shape, whether it contains craters or canyons.

I know there has been plenty of discussion regarding this topic in the past few weeks, especially the days following the debate but this is an interesting note. Is anybody else bothered by this? Or does it not matter?

From the very beginning Bush's campaign should have just said it was a bulletproof vest, right away. That would have been the smartest move.

Because I think the Bush administration is terrible to begin with, I don't really care. They've done far worse and if he were cheating, I wouldn't be surprised. And even then, Bush still did poorly.

Yeah, they actually explicitly said that it WASN'T a vest.

You'd think cheating would land you some sort of decent performance.
