In our image processing lab we recently had a chance to
digitize and then re-view some of the Presidential campaign
speeches. Of particular interest was George Bush's famous
"Read my lips, No New Taxes" speech.
We hired a speech specialist and showed the tape to her over and
over several times. Not only was the tape played back slowly,
but we performed a zoom operation on the (now) President's face. As
she read his face for clues, it became painfully obvious to her that
George Bush was saying -- "Read my lips, No Nude Taxes".
With this subjective information, we called the White House
for an explanation. Reluctantly the White House Staff admitted that
yes, that was correct - "The President planned to clothe new taxes
as user fees".
