Rumors are floating on this like made because it really looks like Bush has something under his coat in the first debate and said something that sounded like he was responding to somebody when nobody else on stage was speaking.

The White House issued non-denials and indirect denials. But so far, Bush hasn't said he didn't have some sort of link.

Personally, it wouldn't surprise me. Bush is a horribly bad speaker and very poor at dealing with unexpected questions. But I don't place much credence in it either.

If it is true, I expect the White House is trying to keep it secret more because they don't want Bush to have to remove it for the last debate then any big impact among Americans.
