And, in case you missed it, there was also an issue regarding whether Kerry had brought in a notecard in violation of the rules. It started with Matt Drudge, and the Powerline folks picked it up. Zombie Time has a frame by frame. INDC Journal posted these photos. Little Green Footballs had a video.
But on October 4, 2004, INDC Journal indicated that Fox News executives have reviewed the footage and determined it was a pen. A black pen. I don't know if that looks right to me, but it convinced INDC. Nice example of a real retraction/update.
Regardless, I don't think a notecards worth of stuff would help Kerry at all. It's interesting how TIVO and the web bring out hundreds of amateur investigative reporters to keep candidates on their toes.
Maybe we should strip-search them both before the next debate to prevent these kinds of issues? Nah. We'd never get them to agree to a body cavity search, and you know that those pens and microphones could be hidden just about anywhere.
