Wow, what a strange article. I'm not sure if it's meant to be taken seriously, is making a joke, or is just a huge product placement. In any case, I don't believe it. Graves disease is thoroughly treatable, so if Bush has it, he doesn't need to wear Maxwell Smart devices to keep from fainting. I think he's just terminally stupid. I still believe he was wearing a wire in that debate.

Cheney has one of those implantable pacemaker/defibrillator combo units, quite possibly manufactured by one of our hometown medical device companies. If it were in anybody other than Cheney, I'd be proud that it was working so well.
