[Botany]

I will be swimming so all the best to the EDVs and the men who
service 'em.

Thought i would post this ...... A mother's words on the death of her
son in Iraq, powerful. If this does not move you you are made of stone.

1. Hey, everyone

Who caught Hillary doing the top 8 reasons to watch Hardball? Pretty hokey.

[Clark2008]

2. Because Tweety has annointed her?

That's the only reason I can see for her to watch.

:shrug:

:hi: all!

:loveya: Keith!

[SharonRB]

5. Maybe she's just trying to get on his good side

I hope she and Bubba watch KO, too.!

[Sydnie]

3. I saw her

:puke: She is not my favorite and that was just "over the top".

:hi: all and :loveya: to Keef!

[SharonRB]

11. Oh, here we go

Real news!

[SharonRB]

14. And he's made himself the number one story tonight.

[Berry Cool]

32. Well, his love of Watergate

anyway, right? :-)

:loveya: to Keith for going back to REAL NEWS!

[crispini]

16. She did NOT?! Really?

:eyes:

[SharonRB]

21. Oh, yeah, she did alright

I wish I could remember what they were, though. I think one was that MSNBC stands for "must watch nobody but Chris." I think it should have been "must watch nothing but Countdown," though!

[crispini]

27. Ick.

What a suck-up. Why would anyone kowtow to TWEETY? He's so unworthy.

[Berry Cool]

29. I did. I said "Hill, get some TASTE."

That was a real low...

otherwise :hi: to all from Berry After the Show!

[Greylyn58]

4. Howdy everyone

Checking in briefly. As much as I love Keith, I'm a bit miffed at all this coverage of the MJ trial. To me it is sooooooo not a news story.

Didn't watch at all yesterday and so far he's not starting out in a promising way.

Truth be told, I haven't been happy with his program for the last month. I feel like he's been doing soft stories. Maybe I'm wrong(No flames please because I still love Keith).

Anyway. :hi: to the KOEBers. Hope you had a great day.!!!

[SharonRB]

6. I'm sure at least some of what he covers isn't up to him

Maybe he's finally done with MJ with that last Puppet Theatre. Now he's on to that poor kid at Disneyworld.

[Clark2008]

8. It's not.

I know a thing or two about the news biz and I can tell you that its the producers who call the shots - in most cases.

I'm sure KO has a lot of influence in the show that bears his name, but I'm guessing a committee of producers and editors make the final decisions.

[Berry Cool]

34. Grey, have we been watching the same show...

...especially LAST WEEK?!?!?

Mystified...

[gkhouston]

49. the last week, I agree with you.

before that, it seemed like a lot of "soft" stuff. I expected we'd have to endure "day after the verdict" MJ coverage last night. If he does MJ again tonight, :spank:.

[Berry Cool]

54. Ah, gk, you were just lookin' for an excuse to spank him...

...weren't you? :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

55. actually not

and I am annoyed that we had Yet More Jacko Crappo. :puke:

[SharonRB]

7. Tonight's clubhouse is even slower than last night

Where'd everyone go?

[Berry Cool]

39. Well, we can explain two recent absences

The Rev has a meeting, I believe--the big event in Madison. Kind of like mine recently.

CC is no doubt mourning her Giz, whom I hope was on the other side of the old Rainbow Bridge watching Countdown tonight.

Of course, I still miss Whirly. :-(

[crispini]

9. Hi ladies! Just got here!

We haven't seen the gray suit that much recently, have we? It doesn't look as bad as I recall. In fact, it looks quite nice! :loveya:

[SharonRB]

10. Hi, Crispi

I still like the dark suits much, much better. This is just plain boring, although I've always liked this tie.

[crispini]

15. Damn, we are SLOW tonight!

Summer, I guess. Jeez, we're never going to catch the Kerry group at this rate! :P

[SharonRB]

22. And I thought last night was bad!

[Sydnie]

12. That Gitmo story has me so ticked!

I heard a clip today where they were saying that the prisoners were getting better food than those on the front lines. That is supposed to make it all ok? That we feed them well before we torture them? And that we feed them better than our military? Seems they didn't take their foot out of their mouth, they just changed feet!

How about comparing that food to the food fed to the families at the poverty level or from the food kitchens? You think they would like two vegetables and two fruits that aren't sodium heavy?

And, they didn't say how many meals we feed them a day. Perhaps they get one meal a day, with rotten fish and rotten fruit!

They make me sick, these ass holes! What a shame that is to parade that slimy fuck out there stuffing his face as he (no doubt) stuffs his pockets.

</end rant>

I now return you to your regular scheduled Keef :loveya: fest

[crispini]

18. Rant on, sistah!

Good show tonight! :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

35. Indeed!

The stupid plugging of the food at Gitmo, Downing St., even more anti-Tom Cruise snark...what's not to love???

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[noamnety]

20. You know what they say

Feed a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Lock a man in Gitmo, and he'll eat for a lifetime.

[SharonRB]

23. LOL!

[Sydnie]

31. Thank you Fern

I needed that ... more than you know!!!! :) :hi: LOL

[Berry Cool]

41. "Mmmmm...lemon fish."

A Simpsons ref and another SportsCenter ref ("That'll happen" during Oddball)...he was definitely snarkin' tonight!

[gkhouston]

50. any takers on the life expectancy

of a Gitmo detainee? They sure as hell don't plan on releasing 'em unless forced to. And I don't for a minute believe they're getting these "gourmet meals". Maybe they're placed on a tray in the same room out of the prisoner's (excuse me, detainee's) reach.

[noamnety]

51. meals in gulags

"Lazar Kogan of Dmitlag, cautioned uncomradely cooks about serving “pig slops” instead of “Soviet meals.” He felt the food being prepared was too “often tasteless and bland.” The Gulag, too, provided medical care in clean hospitals for ailing prisoners. What was unique about the Gulag, recalled one inmate, was that “you were expected not only to be a slave laborer, but to sing and smile while you worked as well. They didn’t just want to oppress us: they wanted us to thank them for it.”

http://www.policyreview.org/jun03/rose.html

Bragging about serving balanced meals might not be the best tactic for the administration, if they're trying to refute the comparison.

[Sydnie]

52. Have I told you today Fern

that I LOVE you? You cut right to the heart of what I was trying to say last night. Thanks! and :loveya: just for you!

edit because : and " are two different keys! LOL

[gkhouston]

53. rather like us hating America

if we don't go along with every little thing the Administration wants: they don't just want to oppress us; they want us to thank them for it.

[Botany]

33. Sadly Gitmo has a lot of .....

...... innocent people. We paid the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan so many
thousand dollars a head ..... so the war lords just went out and rounded up
"folks" for a big pay day ...... "here you go Uncle Sam some Taliban & al Qaeda ....
can i have my money please?"

Real al Qaeda and Taliban should have been shot then and there. (Think of
the people on top of the WTC who had to jump to keep from being burned
alive) So now we have a bunch of pissed off innocent people who will become
terrorists, bin Laden walking free, and the Taliban controlling 70% + of Afghanistan
because asshole took troops out of there and sent them to Iraq.

What a mess.

[Berry Cool]

42. You said it, Botany.

And it's all thanks to some people who were just unhappy until they got themselves a war.

[crispini]

13. LOL! KO on Mt. Rushmore!

Ok, I may have to tune in on Fridays even if I don't know squat about sports. :P

[SharonRB]

17. I don't even know if we get ESPN radio

My husband didn't know where it would be.

On edit: Okay, I just did a Web search and it shows up as two different stations. Guess I'll be able to find it. I wonder what time it will be on.

[crispini]

19. You can stream it.

Just google "espn radio" and it'll get you right there.

[SharonRB]

24. That will only work if I'm at work

and I assume it's on in the evening. I'm afraid to stream anything at home with all the memory problems our computer has anyway.

[SharonRB]

25. Oh, no -- I thought he and Dan Patrick were the #1 story

Now it's Mary Carey and Deep Throat?

On edit: And she sounds like a real genius. How did she get any votes at all?

[crispini]

26. He and Dan Patrick were #1 on the "soundbytes"

and this Marey Carey thing is just .... :eyes:

Kind of amusing that Mark Felt was assigned to investigate himself.... :P

[Berry Cool]

37. The Mary Carey thing is too hilarious.

Makes Monica look like a piker, don't she? :-)

[crispini]

28. No, it's on in the afternoons.

I think some of the other threads have the time. 1-4 EST, something like that?

[SharonRB]

30. I heard it was only an hour long.

[Berry Cool]

43. The Dan Patrick Show itself is four hours long

but Keith will be on it for only an hour each Friday.

It's not really Keith's show, it's an hour's worth of Dan's show in which he will join Dan.

No one appears to have said yet WHICH hour...

[Berry Cool]

36. And it was GEEKY PHEHISTORIC KEITH at that!!

:loveya: to ESPN for taking Keith back!!!! So there!!

:loveya: to Dan for being so happy to get back together with his old tag-team partner!

Can't wait for this...I will tune in and tape if I have to get mile-high rabbit ears for my radio!

Interesting note: Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over" quoted twice on show tonight...once at opening of show re MJ, once on ESPN Radio sound bite! :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

38. Wanted to respond to you, Botany.

I saw your start of the thread earlier and would have posted a photo but couldn't figure out how to get one on there before the show started.

Anyway, thanks for the link. Breaks my heart, too. :-(

[bunny planet]

40. Hi guys.

I watched the show but was too tired to run up and down the stairs to post during the show.

Fav highlights

1. Rusty the Narcoleptic Dog........that was so funny
2. Nice mention of DSMII
3. Guess that must be the family values stuff (Mary Carey Porn star for Bush)
4. The Gitmo Gourmet, Duncan Hunter. The detainees wet themselves but they had the salmon (or lemonfish as it were, probably a lemon carved in the shape of a fish).
5. Loved the 'really the last MJ puppet theater', especially the Claus Von Buelow and Snoop Dog with the giant spliffah. Too funny

All in all a great show, despite the gray suit.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

44. Thanks for joining us, Bun-Bun!

My comments:

1. You loved Rusty the Narcoleptic Dog too! Omigod, if he makes THAT kind of stuff off the Internets a regular feature (complete with faux seriousness), he will have something almost worthy of replacing the News Quiz!
2. Agreed! I am so glad he didn't overlook it. But then again, I trusted he wouldn't. :-) See guys, I TOLD YA TO HAVE FAITH!!!!
3. Again, that deadpan silent stare after the line about "family values stuff"...yes, Keith, one of the things we love about you most is when you let that pregnant pause of yours say it all!
4. Yes, nothing like fine dining at Cafe Gitmo. Yum yum. We all just can't wait to eat there. Not quite.
5. The "really last" MJPT was a classic.

The only thing I would add that you didn't is the plug for his rejoining Dan (complete with geeky Mt. Keithmore) and the singing of "Don't Dream It's Over." Too funny!

If he keeps doing shows like this, he can wear the gray suit all he wants! (Then again, I'm still hoping for my favorite charcoal dark-gray suit/cream-white shirt/orange tie combo tomorrow night.)

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[bunny planet]

45. Yes, I forgot his trip down memory lane.

He really has improved his looks with age.

[crispini]

46. Hasn't he, though?

:loveya: Hi Bunny! :hi: And I do admire him for being willing to show old clips of himself, complete with The 'Stache. My 80s photos are waaaaaay buried and they AIN'T coming out of the closet anytime soon. :7

[bunny planet]

47. Mine too. I had Rod Stewart's hair for awhile.

Donde los YIKES!!!

[Botany]

48. Did the Texas Trollop have big hair?

:rofl:
