Rules are made to be broken.

There's fingering pointing from every angle about cheating in the first presidential debate. People on the left claim that Bush had a coach talking in his ear. And the right is claiming that Kerry used a cheat sheet.

While it would not surprise me in any way that Bush cheated, I don't think the 'bulge' was some clandestine communications device. The President of the United States has access to the most advance technology in the entire world, but he chose to cheat using something that is about as advanced as a my-first-sony? I doubt it. More likely, I think it was a bullet proof vest or some kind of optical illusion.

On the flip side, Drudge speculates that Kerry brought out a cheat sheet. Kerry's campaign says it was a pen. Now a pen would still break the rules; they weren't allowed to bring anything out. But, I don't remember Clinton getting all in a hissy about Dole going everywhere with a pen in his hand.
