I watched the debate, and I remember that I was struck by that comment of 
his: he wasn't out of time, I didn't see Kerry or the debate coordinator 
make a physical gesture or other non-verbal reaction that I noticed, and 
I thought the comment "now let me finish" had no justification that I 
could see at the time. 

A number of hypotheses advanced include:

a) "Other" (I always like to include "other" in a list of options)
b) bad camera angle and/or his suit bunched up
c) hearing aid/wireless audio feed from the debate control room console
d) wireless audio feed illegally used to cheat in the debate
e) he's hearing voices in his head that aren't coming from the illegal 
radio in d)
