Are communications devices banned in the debates?

It would be nice if Dubya had to stand on his own two feet against Kerry. That would be a can't lose situation for us. Does anyone know if communications devices are explicitly outlawed under the terms of the debate? And if so, how do we insure that Dubya isn't wired to his brain?

1. no, not specifically... they are not mentioned in the

Memorandum of Understanding both parties signed.

2. Kerry knows the chimp is so dumb that

even being fed the answers, he still sounds like a moron. Nevertheless, if he's that stupid with the earpiece on, imagine how bad he'd be completely on his own.

3. Put it this way ...

Even if they uploaded brand-new software into Bushbot, his memory would corrupt it and it would crash and reboot over and over again.

I also think you have to be pretty fast and mentally clear to pay attention to what is being said around you AND listen to a voice in your ear. He can have his earpiece as a handicap. It probably would only serve to make him even more confused ... if that is possible. ;)
