Glitch blamed for bang at Bush speech
Well, it surely livened up an otherwise dull-as-dishwater speech, no??
WASHINGTON (AP) -- It sounded like a burst of machine-gun fire as President Bush was speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday but the noise apparently was produced by sound equipment in the room.
The sound startled some listeners in the cavernous ballroom of the Washington Hilton Hotel and Bush paused for a second in his speech.
But then he went on without mentioning the sound. Several thousand people attended the annual prayer meeting....
"It was an interaction between wireless microphones and the sound system, akin to a feedback effect," White House deputy press secretary Trent Duffy said.
That ought to short-circuit a few pacemakers, eh??....
