An Iowa Congressman Steve King has been accused of cheating during his debate with rival Christie Vilsack in Sioux City on Tuesday.

Footage of the debate clearly shows King, a five-term Republican incumbent from western Iowa, had hand-written notes printed on his left palm.

The debate rules deny either candidate from being able to use notes.

OMIGOD, what a vile cheater! He should immediately be executed for such a heinous crime. Like all those generations of kids who write crib notes before tests.

Personally I always found by the time I had written it on my hand, I knew it well enough that I never needed to look at it.

Yawn... Another manufactured-outrage-of-the-day? Imagine my surprise...

Photoshopped? What won't they stoop to?

Another "I don't believe it" even when confronted with facts, huh?

If it were a photoshop, why would the congressman say it was a note to smile? Wouldn't he just say it's a photoshop? BTW, the still photo is taken from video of the debate.

Next?

From the article:

I guess the outrage level is dependent upon your acceptance of cheating when running for political office.

Like Tim Geithner and his taxes? Yep, if the man is willing to cheat on a debate, he is willing to cheat the voters! Like Bill Clinton cheating on his wife.

Deflect deflect deflect...

If you can't discuss the current issue, bring another one into the discussion to muddy the water.

I thought we were discussing cheating politicians and I will raise your note taker with a tax scofflaw and a serial sexual cheater.

No, I posted about a politician who cheated during a recent political debate and you likened it to "those generations of kids who write crib notes before tests." Apparently it's not a big deal, according to you.

Oh, you mean Tax scofflaws and corruption artists Randy “Duke” Cunningham, Bob Ney, Tom DeLay, Jack Abramoff ...

And Serial Adulterers, Newt Gingrich, and John Ensign?

Yeah, I remember those guys...

I seem to remember crib-notes on Palin's hand too... Funny how it didn't bother them then either... I guess you have to have an "R" after your name to get a free pass on cheating.
