According to Drudge, Kerry campaign is claiming it was a pen. It clearly was not a pen.If they Kerry camp made that claim, then they have been caught. The original high-resolution recording at FOX will show it to be what it really is, and it will not be a pen.
Drudge stated Kerry folks said it was a pen on his radio show. On his online story now he states that they laughed at Drudge when he pointed out a pen was a violation (they're cocky and know the media is in the bag - after all Lehrer watched Kerry do it and didn't say or do anything).
Bottom line, Bush spoke from his heart & soul, Kerry gave his latest positions from a cheat sheet
