Caught red-handed on video, the Kerry camp has effectively admitted to cheating during the debate, by bringing prepared notes in the senator’s jacket.

Gleeson.us has obtained the actual Kerry cheat sheet from an unimpeachable source:

(UPDATE 1: Hindrocket is skeptical, but we are standing by our story.)

(UPDATE 2: Instead of addressing the substance of our story, the New York Post is attacking one piece of evidence used in our reporting, claiming that the cheat sheet is in actuality a cheat pen. David Wade, a partisan political operative speaking for the Kerry campaign, pleaded guilty. “We plead guilty,” he said.)

Look out ladies, John Kerry says he’s “got your back.”

The other day, after a rally in Ohio, a woman asked someone from our campaign to deliver a message to me. She said, Senator Kerry, weve got your back. Today, Ive got a message for that woman and every other middle-class American struggling to build a better life for their family: Ive got yours too. Bwahahahaaa! (screeching violin chords) Ive got your back because I know what youre going through…

Okay, I added the evil laugh and the incidental music. But am I the only middle-class American struggling to build a better life who finds the image of John Kerry lurking behind me less than wholly comforting? I mean, politics aside, does anyone sigh with relief upon being told that a lumbering seven-foot mutant rabbit is bearing down on her “six”?

I know the senator has been trying to burnish his “tough guy” credentials of late, slipping John Wayne (or at least Steve McQueen) lines into his speechifying, thinking to harden up his droopy, flabby, effete image among men voters (who prefer Bush by as much as 15 points). He also laughably tries to engage in sporting activities from time to time, when photographers are present. If he had delivered the “got your back” line in a speech about the war, or about football, to a group of soldiers, or NASCAR fans, maybe it wouldn’t have struck me as so creepy. But putting it in a speech about “soft” economic issues, and directing it specifically at a poor defenseless Ohio woman, seems discordant. To me, I mean.
