Wired Bush
OK, I can resist no longer. the link to HCI might be tenuous, but it seems the erswhile Mr George W may have been using a bit of technology to boost his performance in recent debates. You can see pictures of the suspect bulge here.
I think this example shows us just how confused people can become when trying to respond to multiple strands of interaction. As discussed here, Bush seems to get confused at certain points and starts responding to his earpiece as if everyone can hear what it's telling him.
Perhaps Mr Bush could do with some training from TV presenters, who deal with this divided attention all the time. And he could do with a bigger IT budget - there's got to be a smaller receiver than that he could wear.
