Kerry had a cheat sheet at debate

[TheCommentator]

There's no better way to intentionally lose an election than to cheat obviously in front of 65 million people. For gawd's sakes, Kerry must have been out of school so long he does not know how to cheat. When you are in school taking a test, if you have a cheat sheet, you are only supposed to pull it out when the proctor is NOT looking. If the proctor is looking squarely as YOU the entire time, then you are screwed because the moment you take it out you are going to get flunked. Well guess what, the proctor is ONE person!! You do not "cheat" like that in front of 65 million people.

The most surprising this about this whole thing is that Drudge hasn't mentioned this point--- even if he DID cheat, it would be such an obvious self-suicide, as he was doing it on national TV, and his action was plainly visible, that it would be entirely IRRATIONAL, even if his IQ was -100. It would be like Nixon talking about the Watergate break-in in 1972 with an interview with Walter Cronkite.

"Oh, by the way Walter, some of my goons broke into the Watergate hotel...but I'm hoping none of your millions of viewers, nor anyone on the McGovern campaign, pick up on the fact that I just said that." So what was Drudge thinking about what Kerry was thinking?

Also I'm surprised that the person at the Kerry camp did not try to answer Drudge's question at all, but still agreed to the interview with Drudge. There must have been something that was said in that phone call that Drudge didn't put on his site. You don't accept an interview with someone just to make yourself look bad by hurling hollow taunts "see you at the inaguration" and give the other guy sh*t to write about.

All the things mentioned above--not whether cheating took place-- is the real mystery here. However, even if the allegations turn out to be 100% false, they are still worth being a big story. Politicos should have learned one thing from the past month... you can hurl whatever accusation you want, as long as it takes a few days to fact check and falsify, during that time the false accusation is in the media, it will settle in in voters' minds. Basically people will believe any lie as long as the media talks about it long enough.

Long Live New Media!
