I recall twice during the debate hearing paper tear. Edwards also made a production of scribling quite loudly...all distraction obstacles which the VP stepped over effortlessly.
What was that about anyway?
Ohh, Cheney was masterful. Nothing rattled him.
I thought I heard paper tearing also. Edwards was probably coming up with yet another 'plan' to go with all the others he and Kerry have. Cheney was unfased as usual.
