Canned applause added to Bush's appearances?
just musing how it wouldn't be hard to
boost the sounds of applause for a pol's
appearance...

of course, we all know that the Bushies
only speak to pro-Bush crowds which doesn't
hurt the TV appearance that he has no
opposition.

I don't put anything past these guys
or the networks who depend on the kindness
of the Bush FCC.

1. I Think What They May Do
is position the microphones so they disproportionately pick up small portions of the crowd that are reliably gung-ho. Just a guess.

2. When he threw out the first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game
it was rumored that a tape of cheering was played to drown out any booing!

7. Nah, I think that these are trust-fund babies
being led around in nice, roomy, upper-class buses.

Trained well to "cheer" and "boo" at the appropriate Pavlovian stimuli.

8. When did you notice that?
They have been doing it all along. If you listen to it it's the same every time.
