What exactly is that supposed to be showing?

The drudgereport video does show something, but if I am not mistaken, doesn't Kerry wear glasses to read sometimes?

Perhaps he was taking his glasses out to keep them handy in the event he had to read his notes?????

It does look like he did remove something from his pocket and place it on the podium, but I cannot make it out.

That was my first thought... though I never saw him with glasses. I seriously doubt they were cheat sheets.

Who knows...

If they were, then that really shows that Jim Lehrer is a pathetic debate moderator as it happened not 12 feet from him. It also shows that either Kerry totally forgot he could not take these out to use them, or that he just didnt care if he were caught.

I think it was most likely either his glasses, or perhaps a handkerchief or something (maybe with some secret microfilm notes hidden inside...LOL)

Most people on other boards I'm on have said it's more than likely the hanky. You can see he has it laid out on the podium. The lights on the stage do get very bright (I've been on stage's before with bright lights and come off sweating) and I heard they wanted the room to be 70 degree's. I'm sure backstage they had people search both Kerry and Bush to make sure they didn't have anything.

Maybe he and Bush exchanged love notes backstage before the debate..... It seems that there is a site that shows Bush had something in his hand too.

Payoff money from each candidate to the other????? LOL

Maybe they were comparing their picks for the upcoming college football games.

Or, it was possibly a note from Theresa asking Laura who designed her ourfit.

I thought that was what the two of them were chatting about after the debate.

They were obviously admiring the others outfit.

So you (and sludge report) want us to believe that Kerry pulled out a crib sheet with the cameras full on him and the stage full of technicians.
