Battle of the bulge

There have been internet rumors about a bulge in the back of
Bush's jacket during the second debate. Some left wing nuts have
declared it as proof that Bush was wearing a wire...

Whatever.

Scrappleface has decided to get to the bottom of it:

Object Under Bush Jacket Identified: 'It's a Spine'

(2004-10-11) -- A forensic scientist studying photographic evidence has
identified an object which caused a bump on the back of a suit jacket
worn by President George Bush during his first debate with John Forbes
Kerry.

"It's a spine," said the unnamed scientist. "The president's backbone,
in a sense, was showing during his debate with Mr. Kerry."

Similar images of Mr. Kerry showed "no comparable spinal features."

When asked about the new evidence, Mr. Kerry said, "I had a spine when
I defended this country as a young man, and I will have one again when
I defend her as president of the United States.
