Bush’s bulge: The president’s tailor speaks!
The battle of the bulge is over, and President Bush has won it, according to his tailor.
“There’s no mystery about it, no secret bunch, nothing,” Georges de Paris told The Hill last week when asked about speculation that Bush was wearing an electronic device or other object under his coat during his debates with Sen. John Kerry.

“There’s no mystery about it, no secret bunch, nothing,” Georges de Paris told The Hill last week when asked about speculation that Bush was wearing an electronic device or other object under his coat during his debates with Sen. John Kerry.
Photographs showing the bulge have been circulating on the Internet in recent weeks. It is most popularly rumored to be an audio receiver that relayed information to the president from offstage aides.
“I know that the Internet claims it was all different things, but to my knowledge, it was just a poorly tailored suit,’’ White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card told The New York Times on Monday.
Actually, it’s perfectly normal, said de Paris, even among the very expensive suits he makes. The French-born tailor makes all of Bush’s suits, including the one he wore at the first debate. “The same thing will happen anytime you cross your arms like Bush did,” de Paris said. “It causes the back of the jacket to pucker along the seam.”
To prove it, de Paris helped a reporter into a 44 long jacket, the same size both the president and the reporter wear, and had him cross his arms. The accompanying photograph shows the result, which appears to produce the same bulge.
De Paris said journalists all over the world have called him about the bulge, but he’s heeded a White House aide’s advice “not to talk to anybody or comment on it,” until now.
“When they call, I tell them I’m in Canada. One French paper said, ‘Do you speak French?’ and I said, ‘No, I speak Spanish.’ They ask for my cell phone and I tell them Georges is on a plane and you can’t reach him.”
So now conspiracy theorists can add Georges de Paris to their roster of conspirators.
