I hope to see the Kerry campaign squirming by tomorrow.
Great! This is hitting other sources! Wooo hooo!
Did Kerry cheat? Yes.
Cheating in elections is what the 'Rats do. I'm amazed that everyone seems so shocked by it.
The radio talkers are going to be ALL over this tomorrow...
But once they didn't...Florida 2000.
I wonder if anyone has reviewed the entire debate to determine whether he put whatever it was back into his pocket. That might provide an even clearer picture.
If anyone is surprised that Kerry would do this, tell them to read "Unfit for Command."
I saw the video. Looks to me like Sen. Kerry pulled something out of his jacket. What was it?
I seriously doubt it was a pack of Marlboros. And I don't think it was a picture of the Blessed Virgin either.
This story has legs. Everyone who has ever studied late for an exam in school just to see some jerk come in with a cribsheet knows what this is like. People can identify with it.
I t would be interesting to hear some teachers weigh in on this.
Here's a great comment from someone responding to the story on the Wizbang blog:
"As a professor, I have seen the "Slight-of-Hand" cheat sheet manuver too many times. I could not believe my eyes when I saw it during the "debate." Thank God for Digital Video Recorders!
The cheat sheets I recovered over the years all had either the questions, the answers or both. I wonder which group Kerry's crib notes belongs in.
Prior access to the moderators questions would fit with the other media escapades witnessed during the past few months. I guess that's impossible given the right-wing media culture at PBS.

No we all remember when Kerry was speaking, Bush was annoyed and was not looking at any talking points, like Kerry seems to be doing.
Well that's a lousy rule. Charts and diagrams are helpful in explaining things. The politicos (including Bush) who created these debate rules obviously want to keep Americans dummied down.
We should have Lincoln-Douglass style debates, wherein each candidate can alternate speaking for up to a half hour, walking around the stage, using notes. And we should have these debates once a week for several months on end. That would force all candidates to show us who they are.
But that's not what these anal-retentive politicos -- including Bush -- want.
Yet another reason to vote third party.
Kerry Receives Paper Cut at Debate Pulling Out Note Cards....Applies For PURPLE HEART!
this is on Drudge radio now. The problem is that unless someone in the MSM really looks at the video (which shouldn't be too hard to do) and makes a case about it with the campaign then this will go nowhere.
Here's one for all of us: what if the cue card had the questions?
