By golly I think you have it distraction with the left hand that is higher than the podium while the real object is in his right hand hidden by his body from the crowd...then on top of the podium it is opened or unfolded and if caught he can claim it was a pen..
There is nothing is his hand at that point. That's just clasped hands.
BahBlahbah- you're in denial.
Look at the video that the stills posted all over this thread were made from. I tell you, BBB, if *Bush* cheated at the debate, I would not stick my head in the ground the way you are doing. I would demand he make it up in some substantial way to his opponent.
That's the white pen, actually.
