BUSH cheated at debate: Video Proof!

Americablog is all over this. While much has been made of the "Kerry cheat sheet" video from Thursday night's debate (it has been revealed from Fox footage that he actually pulled out a pen), little has been made of the fact that, as he approaches the lectern, Bush is clearly seen pulling out cheat notes in THE SAME VIDEO..

Full speed.

Slo motion.

Drudge must have realized this, as he has replaced his original video link of the two stepping up to the stage with a close-up of just Kerry. If anyone has a link to this original video posted on Drudge please let me know and I'll update.

UPDATE: Here is the original video. You can clearly see Bush pulling out the cheat sheet, which is in violation of the rules.

Even if this were true (none)

I see absolutely no advantage (zero, zilch, zip, nada) given the drumming that Bush took last Thursday night.

Our man was accused of cheating (none)

I think there is an advantage in answering the charges and the best way to counter Rethuglican smears is to put them on the defensive. And this is true, if you saw the original video of Kerry supposedly cheating you can clearly see Bush doing this, this is just a close-up of that same video.

"Let me finish" (none)

Who was Chimp speaking to? And when did he know it?

I really don't see why people keep asking this (none)

"Let me finish" is his way of saying "uhhhhhh." He repeatedly does this when questioned.
Remember Ross Perot "Kin ahhh finish" over and over again back way back when? This is the same thing.

This machine kills fascists.

I did notice (none)

There was one point in the debate where it appeared that he looked down and referenced notes. I believe he was stating a date?

What did Bush's cheat sheet say? (4.00)

a) Phonemic spelling of Polish President's last name.
b) "Beard = Osama, Moustache = Saddam"
c) Note from Laura: "Honey, stand up straight and remember to say what Dick and Karl told you"
d) If John says anything about money, ask him how he'll pay for all those socialist programs.
e) Biggest threat to American security: whatever John says.
f) If they ask if you've made any mistakes, starting singing "Let the Eagle Soar!" and hope nobody notices.

Something up his sleeve? (none)

You can clearly see Bush unfold a piece of paper- but did he have it hidden up his left sleeve? I can't be certain from that camera angle.
lol that cheatsheet must have said:
Hard Work
You can't lead if you send mixed messages
Better off without Saddam
Don't forget Poland
