Was President Bush wired to get help with his answers during the first debate? Howard Kurtz says his in online chat: "It is nothing but a rumor at the moment and deserves very little, if any, coverage." Post associate editor Robert Kaiser seems more interested. He says in his Monday chat: "I have ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE to support any theory in this matter. But given the apparent visual evidence of the photo, I hope we can keep pursuing this question and get an answer."
