Precisely. Kerry still violated the rules of the debate when he took ANYTHING out of his pocket and put it on the podium. Not earthshaking, but it was a blatant violation of the rules.
And also i just remembered one of my bad ass friends in junior high used to roll crib notes up inside pens and sneak them into tests that way.
A pen could be more than just a pen.
Which is why no one was allowed to bring any in with them.
He broke the rules, and if the press does not like people speculating, then it should be a simple thing for them to post the feed they say proves it was a pen.
And instead of demeaning the swift boat vets, how about asking Kerry why he didn't sign a form authorizing the Pentagon to release his records to prove their charges wrong. And for the love of God's truth why doesn't the press jump on Kerry when he falsely claims he released all his records?
I am getting sick and tired of the press demanding that we shut up and take their word for everything.
That being said, I bet that the NY Post is right, and it was just a pen.
Did Lehrer give him the list of questions in order before the "debate?"
