This notes business is a minor scandal. Is there anyone out there who does not think that Lehrer gave Kerry a heads up on the questions? The hatred of Bush in the elites is without bound. And Lehrer is a charter member of the elites. Violating the rules of the debate mean nothing to these people as they prosecute their Jihad against the Republican majority in general and G.W. Bush in particular.
I'm sure Lehrer isn't innocent. At very least he probably knew about the cheat sheet. I think it best to focus solely on Kerry, however, and that cheat sheet. The public will get that, the rest is unsubstantiated.
Yes, minor in a technical sense. However, it sends Kerry's "ickiness factor" through the roof. He'll pay for it, because he's already intrinsically unlikeable.
IF this makes it big, then a) Bush's silence on the matter is a huge plus for him; b) the pajamahadeen are going to have scored two incredibly huge victories within a month.
