Replying to Kerry "cheats" during debate

remember the 30 pages of rules made before the debate, well one of them said you could not bring in any thing yourself, such as notecards. If you wanted a black piece of paper to take notes during the debate, it would be put on the podium for you.

It seems kerry did reach into his pocket and pull out a couple notecards during the debate. To me this seems like Kerry is given a clear advantage because all his ideas are cleary written down for him, while Bush has to think for himself. Interested to see if people view this as cheating or a minor detail.
