Kerry cheated in debate

I caught this little gem of a story flying around the blogosphere this weekend; it appears John Kerry cheated during the debate last week. First, a quick review of the rules that both campaigns agreed to going into the debate. In section 5, page 4-5 of the "Memorandum of Understanding" concerning the debate it states the following:

No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by either candidate.... Each candidate must submit to the staff of the Commission prior to the debate all such paper and any pens or pencils with which a candidate may wish to take notes during the debate, and the staff or commission will place such paper, pens and pencils on the podium...

With that rule in mind, how does the Kerry campaign explain the following images/video?
