XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUN OCT 03, 2004 14:05:38 ET XXXXX
DEBATE MYSTERY: DID KERRY HAVE CHEAT SHEET?
Section 5, pages 4-5 of the binding "Memorandum of Understanding" that was negotiated and agreed upon by both political campaigns states:
"No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by either candidate.... Each candidate must submit to the staff of the Commission prior to the debate all such paper and any pens or pencils with which a candidate may wish to take notes during the debate, and the staff or commission will place such paper, pens and pencils on the podium..."
So what did Dem presidential contender John Kerry take out of his jacket as he approached the stage [with his back to the auditorium's audience]?
What did Kerry place on the podium?
Video replays of the Kerry maneuver played all weekend long on the internet.
[A tight zoom of the Boston.Com feed shows Kerry pulling a mysterious "card" from his jacket. 14 seconds into video, after commerical]
A top Kerry campaign source explained to the DRUDGE REPORT late Sunday how Bush supporters were once again trying to distract.
"Kerry did not cheat," said the Kerry insider. "This is more lies from Republicans, who are hoping for a quick change of subject away from the president's performance, and the new polls."
Developing...
Very good.
It all goes to CHARACTER! This is a central issue since the Clintoon Whitehouse! Bush is honest, Kerry is not. If you can't trust a man to go by his word on debate rules, can you trust him with anything else?????
I think they choke on other things.
*L*..I think its funny too!....Typical democratic logic!!!
His new teeth are too big for his mouth and his eyes point in opposite directions most of the time. That's besides being an arrogant *ss and jerk. I don't think he is too smart either. That's another lie from MSM about Kerry. He makes me want to vomit.
Bush was ambushed by Lehrer's biased questioning (meant to keep Bush on the defensive and ONLY BUSH...no questions on Kerry's record) and Kerry cheating with prepared speeches brought in against the RULES of this debate. Bush looked pissed off and now I can see why!!!!
We're the ones lying. Its all the Pajamahadeen's fault. It never is sure as heck John F*ckin's fault!
yep, asking that candidates at least obey the rules is pathetic.
/sarcasm
while listening to savage on friday he was ripping into lehrer
saying he did it to gwb 4 years ago and was warning people about this lehrer guy
was pretty funny how savage was saying it
"why you little beedy eyed bolshevik"
or something like that lol
A "cheat sheets" controversy is going look like nothing compared to Bush's poor performance in the debates. Nobody is going to see this as an excuse.
Bush could have easily cleaned Kerry's clock with even the minimal amount of prep. Kerry is such a double-talking fraud.... there is a wealth of ammo to use against him.
It certainly isn't an excuse. Eve if Kerry knew all the questions and brought in talking points, it still would not have been an excuse for Bush's horrible performance.
Bringing in a cheat sheet is no big deal? Do you think, if the situations were reversed, that the RATs would just move on? Gimme a break.
Thank you for the info. I appreciate it. b.
Of course you are right.
But with a Democrats the rules are different. Lying and cheating are virtues. Something to be proud of.
Except maybe on Judgement Day.
