KOEB 10/12/05 (The Nexus of Politics and Terror Edition)

[Berry Cool]

What can we say except...GO KEITH!

We'll be watching.

At least those of us who don't care quite as much about the Cards and the Astros. We'll be looking at a whole different ballgame with a hard-hitting batter...and when he connects, it'll be deep and I don't think it's gonna be playable.



Swing for the fences, Wild Thing!

[RevCheesehead]

1. Ah, yes, this looks much better tonight

Keith, the dark suit is your friend. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

2. Hubby and I just had that discussion

We agree he's much better put together tonight.

[RevCheesehead]

3. See? Hubbys can learn.

Have you got him watching yet? :hi:

[SharonRB]

10. Are you kidding?

He's the one who got me started watching KO last summer!

[bleever]

5. Whereas, Harwood's striped shirt reminds me of barbershop quartets.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

7. Nah, it's his head that does that. :)

Don't blame the shirt.

:hi:

[spooky3]

6. Color Keith Beautiful--would you say he's a Winter?

[Patsy Stone]

9. He's too hot to be a Winter. :)

:hi: spooky.

[spooky3]

13. Ha!

:hi: Patsy!

[Clark2008]

53. He's a fall moving into winter.

I know - all my men are.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

108. So is the blue shirt.

Obviously, this was a special night and he made sure to dress for it. The tie and shirt match his eyes. Lovely. :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Oh yeah, what was that about the content of the show? :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

4. Ready for the coincidental terror/political event happenings.

He looks dreamy. This outfit of the dark grey pin-striped suit, dusty purple shirt and lighter, patterned purple tie rocks! :loveya:

All this and Asa Hutchinson, too.

I think that GOP lawyer quote he just read came from Specter's camp. I just saw Nora ("I love this Administration!") O'Donnell and she said the staff lawyers are trying to come up with questions specially chosen to trip her up.

Oy. Let the unraveling continue. Amen.

[bleever]

8. I think it's time for somebody to atone.

Actually, a whole gang of somebodies.

:hi:

[spooky3]

11. "no contempt of court hanging over Miller's head"--did she sing?

[Patsy Stone]

19. I think they all did (Novak, Miller, Cooper).

And KKKarl can't keep up with what he said to whom and when. Ah, it is good.

ed: specificity

[bleever]

20. I think she must have. No talk about any questions being off-limits,

and no more confidentiality concerns.

With all the singing about to begin, it's going to look like American Idol.

:7

[RevCheesehead]

23. And you, I presume, would be Simon?

:hi:

[SharonRB]

31. Who wants to play Paula?

There was an article in the Detroit News today about Fantasia. I never knew she didn't know how to read. And she just wrote a book.
Well, not literally, I guess.

[bleever]

32. I think that we, collectively, will be Simon.

Since I'm not an AI watcher, I'm not really up on what kind of put-downs are called for, but let me take a stab:

"Judy, you may call that singing if you wish, but all I heard was the voice of a stool pigeon."

How's that?

[SharonRB]

35. Perfect! You'd never know you don't watch.

[RevCheesehead]

37. Ah, I see -

Kind of a mutual snark thing, eh? (I don't watch it, either)

[SharonRB]

24. LOL

I like that line, Bleev.

[spooky3]

41. LOL! Next the producers will have a Frog March competition.

[SharonRB]

12. How appropriate on this Yom Kippur eve

Patsy and I are atoning right now. Right, Pats?

[Patsy Stone]

22. Currently atoning ovah heah.

:hi: Sharon.

[SharonRB]

26. Hi, Pats

:hi:

I'm taking tomorrow off, but I brought a ton of work home. I'm just looking forward to sleeping late. I wish this wasn't the time of year I'm always so busy at work.

[Patsy Stone]

30. Off tomorrow also.

I'll be sitting around.

[SharonRB]

34. No shul for you either, huh?

I wish I could spend the day reading or something, but I have too much work that has to be done that I'll need for Friday.

[Patsy Stone]

39. "Are you No-mah?"

LOL. OMG that's hysterical! Like that SNL skit! No-mah!

[Patsy Stone]

16. "Gang"

is the perfect word. Yes, atonement is good, but one day isn't gonna be enough for them. I'm thinking maybe an eternity.

ed: to write in English.

[SharonRB]

15. Loved that quote hidden deep in the NYT (or was it the WaPo?)

[WolverineDG]

90. mmmm....gray......

:evilgrin:

yup, he looks better in the dark suits.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

98. He sure does.

Hi, dg!

[WolverineDG]

101. hiya pats!!

how's it going? did elijah show up at your house this year (or am i getting my jewish holidays confused again?????)

dg

[SharonRB]

104. LOL -- that's Passover.

[WolverineDG]

113. ok, i knew i was going to

mess that up. :( but do i still get credit for knowing about that tradition? :(

dg

[SharonRB]

116. Absolutely!

That's a pretty obscure one if you're not Jewish, so you definitely get points for it.

[Patsy Stone]

118. Absolutely!

There are a lot to keep track of. As the joke goes, "The theme of any Jewish holiday is: They tried to kill us. We won. Let's eat!"

:)

[SharonRB]

122. LOL -- and every year my mother seems to make up a new rule

She thinks she's Bill Maher!

[RevCheesehead]

124. ROFLOL

:rofl: May I borrow that? That's hilarious!

[Patsy Stone]

131. I wish I could take credit for it.

It's public domain. :)

[WolverineDG]

126. That's a great outlook, Pats!

LOL :)

i have to say that hannukah is my favorite (and not because of all the presents either). there's something about seeing the menorah lit up in commemoration of that miracle that gets to me.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

134. It's very pretty

Tonight's service (Kol Nidre) is very pretty also. The music is spooky and gorgeous and the temple is usually lit by candles. It's the most church-like they get in Shul.

[Berry Cool]

157. I think the best part about Jewish holidays is

that all of them are excuses to eat. :-)

[Patsy Stone]

162. Excuse?

What excuse? Is it Wednesday? Let's eat! Have a nosh, something. Something to put in your stomach so you shouldn't be hungry. Are you sure I can't fix you anything? :)

[Berry Cool]

170. You can make me some latkes, Patsela.

Yes, I know they're for Hanukkah but I don't care. My mother used to make them and I have missed them since long before she passed on. Even though my sisters and I had to grind the potatoes and onions ourselves in a meat grinder!

And that was with no Jewishness in the family...just Germanic heritage at work.

[Patsy Stone]

173. Grinding the potatoes was my job.

I also had to gring the meat in the meat grinder and (eeww) chop up the liver.

Be happy to -- I make a mean Matzo Brei, too.

[SharonRB]

175. Did you have to grind the fish for the gefilte fish, too?

[Patsy Stone]

180. Nooo.

Thankfully not. My grandmother didn't make her own (another mechiah!). :)

Carrots for the carrot cake, though? That was me too. A prep chef at seven. :)

[SharonRB]

184. My mother used to make her own

It stunk up the house, but it was so good. Now she buys that pre-made loaf that you just have to boil. It's better than the jarred or canned kind, but not the same as homemade.

[Patsy Stone]

105. We spun the dreidel,

we ate the hamantashen. We even built a sukkah.

Hi! How's things?

[SharonRB]

111. You crack me up, Pats.

We also ate some matzah and some latkes(or will after the fast is over) and dipped apple in honey.

[Patsy Stone]

115. Next year, in Jerusalem!

LOL. :)

[WolverineDG]

119. ha ha

i know the dreidel is spun at hannukah (had the christmas v. hannukah debate many times in elementary school) :cry: pats is teasing me :cry: ;)

dg

[SharonRB]

123. Ya think?

[WolverineDG]

129. what? you too???

:cry: :cry: ;)

mazeltov! :toast:

dg

[Berry Cool]

154. It all reads blue on my TV--deep blue, like his eyes.

But that's what you get from NTSC television..."Never the Same Color."

I have a feeling, though, that this is the same shirt he's wearing in the famous publicity head shot. He should wear it more. Deep-colored shirts look GREAT on him.

[WolverineDG]

190. I've never noticed the eye color

but that was a dark gray suit. mmmm, gray.....

dg

[SharonRB]

194. It was black with pinstripes on my set.

[WolverineDG]

203. ok ok

it must have been a chameleon suit then...different colors on different tvs. ;)

dg

[Berry Cool]

214. I meant the shirt and tie read blue

not the suit. :rofl: I would have been adjusting my set then!

[bleever]

14. My analysis: Jim VandeHei looks likes he's sleepy and sucking lemons.

That is all.

[Patsy Stone]

17. Yes, but he made up for it

by using the word "espionage".

[bleever]

25. TRUE DAT!

The glimmers keep coming.

:)

[Botany]

18. Hi All

And to all those getting ready for a Yom Kippur ..... hope you are
feeling Kippurish.

:rofl:

I have got one of my customers watching KO ..... she things he does
a good job. She is a lesbian so I doubt she has the hots for him or
I would tell her about the KOEB

[SharonRB]

21. We don't all have the hots for him.

She'd be welcome here.

[WolverineDG]

97. aw, c'mon sharon

you KNOW he earned the :loveya: tonight, so c'mon, give him a couple!

:loveya: :loveya: ko

dg

[SharonRB]

103. Oh, you're probably right

But remember, they're for his mind and his wit.

:loveya: :loveya:

[WolverineDG]

109. yes, i know

as we discussed in dc...but he did earn them tonight, so don't be stingy!!! :P

:loveya:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

110. Heh - something tells me

that Hubby is looking over your shoulder. :)

[SharonRB]

114. Nope.

I've said many times here that I don't have the hots for KO. I just love his snark, wit and intelligence.

[WolverineDG]

133. yup, that's true

that's what she said in dc. :)

dg

[SharonRB]

160. Thanks for watching my back, DG

[WolverineDG]

195. Always, always

:pals:

dg

[Berry Cool]

161. Oh, yeah, and that makes her SO much more dignified and intelligent

than the rest of us, who are all Harriet Miers over him, doncha 'know. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

163. WTF?

[Berry Cool]

188. I'm havin' some fun.

Like I said, all are welcome...even those who profess to be immune to Keith's masculine charms...for whatever reason.

It isn't NECESSARY to lust after Keith to be a card-carrying member of the KOEB...it's just ENTERTAINING for some of us, that's all. :-)

[WolverineDG]

200. honestly, berry?

i don't lust after ko either. i have fun pretending i do, playing around online, and while he is my type, i don't know him & chances are our paths will never cross, so why get all hot & bothered? i watch his show in tv almost every night & blog with a group of eccentrics (which i define as "weird but fun") on DU because it's fun, informative, & how i relax & wind down from my real job. that to me, he's eye candy is merely bonus points.

i realize this might be koeb heresy, but i am a fan of the show first & until i started sticking up for the poor, picked-on light gray suit, i didn't even notice what ko was wearing because i was focusing on the content of the show, especially the hard-hitting segments at the beginning. the fluff, not so much, but it's still fun & sometimes, like the Tooth Fairy story, very charming.

B-)

dg

[Berry Cool]

215. You may not believe it, but

the first things I noticed about KO were his faithfulness to doing true news, his sense of humor and his integrity.

But I think getting hot & bothered is FUN.

The way I see it, none of us in the KOEB should have to pretend to pant after him in order to belong, but neither should we feel the need to hide our panting (should we choose to do it) in order to appear properly intellectual and intelligent amongst our peers and earn their respect.

That having been said...I thought he looked damn hot tonight.

[WolverineDG]

218. the person you intimated was "hiding"

her panting in order to look intellectual is, in fact, telling the truth. she pants not for keith.

i agree he looks like dynamite in the dark suits. but then, i like guys in suits....occupational hazard

dg

[SharonRB]

226. Thanks again, DG

for sticking up for me and verifying that I'm telling the truth.

:pals:

[Berry Cool]

233. Sorry, Sharon.

I didn't realize I had insulted you and your entire house by even so much as *joking* about your possibly having the hots for Keith.

I will know better than to even make an intimation in that direction ever again.

[Berry Cool]

232. Jeez. Wolfie, Sharon...please lighten up, OK?

I wasn't trying to impugn anyone, honestly.

There is a difference between accusation and teasing. A lot of teasing goes on in the KOEB. It's pretty much a form of currency.

It's like I said...you don't have to pant for Keith to belong.

[gkhouston]

220. she could always offer up some

platonic :loveya: if and when she felt they were appropriate.

We do love him for his mind, too, you know. :7

[WolverineDG]

229. she did, gina

:)

when he earns 'em, she gives him a :loveya: or two.

dg

[gkhouston]

230. good for her

I believe in making him work for his floaties. ;-)

[Patsy Stone]

27. All are welcome

if they are tolerant of our :loveya: addiction. :)

Present and feeling Kippurish. Since guilt is bred in the bone, it's really just another day for us -- except there's no food. That's the real punishment. :)

[SharonRB]

29. I try to fast at least half a day

Sleeping late helps get me through that. If I try to fast all day, I get really shaky. The blood sugar really goes down.

[Patsy Stone]

33. Understood.

I always give in around 4 or 5. :) Then I atone for that the next year.

[SharonRB]

36. LOL!

[Berry Cool]

117. I don't know whether I'm feeling Kippurish.

I ain't never Kippured. :rofl:

Anyway, no prob here with lesbians lovin' on KO in any way they choose or even joining the KOEB...leaves the rest of the good stuff for the het gals. :loveya:

Our slogan: "Come into the light! All are welcome!"

on edit: spell fix

[RevCheesehead]

28. Critters on Oddball!

I'm hoping for another Bay Air sighting. :)

[Botany]

44. Squirrels on dog tits.....

Now that is just nutz!

hi cheese .... Know any Kippur prayers?

KO is going to drop the hammer.

[Berry Cool]

121. Uh, Bot, you DID see the woman suckling the tigers, did you not?

Sad ending to that story too...no, not what you think...the tigers couldn't metabolize human breast milk and they died.

So, well, after that particular story, Oddball featuring a dog suckling a squirrel seems, well, downright tame.

[Greylyn58]

38. Howdy All

Just thought I'd pop in before I pass out for the night. Hope everyone is well.

KO is looking really "Hunky" tonight in his blue shirt and nice tie.

Sheridan gives a big "Woof-Out" to everyone. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

40. Hi, grey!

(and Woof to you-know-who)

[SharonRB]

42. Hi, Grey

How's the job going?

:hi:

[Greylyn58]

50. Truthfully, I'm in Hell!!

I'm actively looking for something else because I can not do this job for very long. My feet and legs hurt so bad by the time I get off I can hardly move. I use to work stand up jobs, but haven't done this type of work in over 15 years. Oh the pain!!!

The people I work with are decent enough, but Man...Wal-Mart is so full of crap, on my first day, I and the other four people that started had to watch a few videos about the history of Wal-Mart, but the worse one was about Unions and why it is a "very bad idea" for Wal-Mart to Unionize. It was incredible.

[Patsy Stone]

61. Oy.

Hey, Greylyn. Sorry to hear it's a pain. I wish you a lot of luck in your search. Funny, but it's easier to find a job when you have a job.

:) Woof!

[SharonRB]

62. I'm so sorry it's not going well.

I can't believe the thing about preaching about how bad unions are!

[Berry Cool]

128. If you can't believe such a thing as anti-union propaganda exists,

you must not know corporate America too well...

[gkhouston]

221. I can believe it

and it's not the "right way" to keep unions out. If you don't want your people to unionize, treat 'em so well they don't see any point in joining a union. Not that that's likely to occur in the current economic climate...

[Olney Blue]

64. Hi Grey,

I'm sorry to hear your new job is disappointing.

At least you've got a cutie to kiss you when you get home! What a gorgeous dog!!!!

[Berry Cool]

125. And we give a big "WOOF" back to Sheridan.

and a :hi: to his mom.

Hope all is well.

Do you suppose the ref to openings of Wal-Marts was a shout-out to you? Hey!

[bleever]

43. Show of hands, please: who has a hard time believing that we

are actually getting to witness the implosion of this evil administration? It's just hard to believe that it's finally happening, and in such dramatic fashion.

[spooky3]

45. It's sort of like going on a zillion job interviews

I'm trying not to get excited until I have the offer in writing.

[bleever]

49. That's a great analogy, spooky.

It even kind of feels the same, what with the emotional investment.

[spooky3]

54. thanks, bleever

[Berry Cool]

132. Or sneaking into your parents' closet just before Christmas

and just catching a glimpse of something big enough to be The Present You Want Most hidden under a blanket or sheet or something.

And then your mother's coming so you slam the door and pretend you were in there for some other reason.

You're really, really hoping...but you're afraid to hope too much.

[spooky3]

147. good one!

[Patsy Stone]

46. Stranger than fiction.

But every second term has its scandal. There are just so many at once. Fantastic!

I believe.

[bleever]

51. How sweet it is! :) nt

[Olney Blue]

79. bleever, I want to believe.....

but I think they will fight like caged animals and use intimidation to come out on top.

[bleever]

89. I understand your fear, and I also think their power of intimidation

is not going to serve them in the legal system the way it has in the political system.

And the fighting they do will increasingly be directed against each other.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

94. Until they stack the courts.

Miers is a dangerous prospect.

[WolverineDG]

100. i can't believe she's an attorney

at her age & still writes mash notes. and to think they released that crap because they don't want us to see the legal memos she wrote while shrubbie was governor & while he was on the campaign!!!!! i can only imagine what her USSC opinions are going to look like.....

the only thing missing from that "you're the greatest ( :puke: --ed. dg ) ever!!!!!" note were little hearts over the "i" 's...... :eyes:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

102. Yucky

Yucky, yucky, yucky.

Well, she's impressed no one so far. I'll be interested to see whether the Dobson info suddenly changes people's minds about her possible judicial abilities: "Are you sure she's Pro-Life? Then she's a genius!"

[SharonRB]

107. Too bad they didn't have floaty hearts then.

[WolverineDG]

136. back in the day

before emoticons, WE HAD TO DRAW THEM OURSELVES!!!!!

oh the humanity!!!

dg

[gkhouston]

223. I'm GLAD they didn't have floaty hearts then

we might have to get ours fumigated... or get a new symbol of adoration or something.

[Berry Cool]

135. Did you see that the card "illustration" on last night's Countdown

DID have hearts dotting the i's? :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

153. yes i did

& i even wondered if that was her actual writing until i saw the scanned shot of it somewhere on du today....

dg

[WolverineDG]

95. I've had my hopes dashed so many times

I have a hard time feeling positive about the outcome. :(

dg

[bleever]

130. That's why I like spooky's job interview analogy. And yet,

eventually it happens.

:)



(I really do believe.)

[Patsy Stone]

138. See

I knew ya did.

[RevCheesehead]

140. Who are ya, little Natalie Wood?

"I believe, I believe, I know it's silly, but I believe..."\

[Berry Cool]

168. Hey, if KO believes in the Tooth Fairy

why should we NOT believe in Fitzy Claus?

(Note: I think the image depicted above may be the actual one used on Countdown tonight)

[WolverineDG]

151. i know

i'll just keep taking deep breaths until the indictments are handed down.

dg

[gkhouston]

222. on some days, it seems hard to believe, but the Nixon

administration imploded and it was a lot more competent than this one. I keep that thought near and dear to my heart.

[spooky3]

47. Timing of terra alerts now!

[Clark2008]

48. Here it is......I've been waiting for this all day.

Cool beans!!

[Olney Blue]

52. Hi everyone!

Just go online for Keith- wow, this report on terrorism is fantastic!

[spooky3]

55. hi, Olney, you're so right!

[Patsy Stone]

56. Fear-mongering!

Oh, go KO!

:loveya::loveya:

I couldn't get them all, because I was nudged in the middle, but that's a good start to dig for more facts.

Fear-mongering! :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

68. The only thing Keith left out:

Howard Dean calling Bullshit on Terra-lerts after the DNC. :)

[Patsy Stone]

73. Yep.

And Asa??? :wtf: How did they stick him with Asa?

[Berry Cool]

137. How do you know Keith didn't PICK Asa?

After all, this way he's being (fancy the concept) "fair and balanced"...allowing someone who thinks he's full of it time to refute him...and allowing the viewer to decide which is the more credible of the two.

How refreshing!

[Patsy Stone]

143. I *don't* know.

That's why I asked.

[Berry Cool]

172. Good point.

Of course, he could have picked someone who kisses even bigger admin butt...

[Patsy Stone]

177. Like David Drier

How the hell does he live with himself? How many times has he sold his soul?

[bleever]

74. And Dean was blasted for saying so.

Right again, Howard.

:thumbsup:

[WolverineDG]

106. and tom ridge going "huh?"

when asked about ashcroft's terror alert....

dg

[Olney Blue]

72. That's a good job with the list- thanks.

I still remember watching MTP when Colin Powell's "aides" tried to block the interview. Man, that was dramatic.

[RevCheesehead]

57. DAMNnnnnnnnnnnn! That was delicious!

"questions about what is prudence, and what is fear-mongering."

Marry me, Keith. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

59. What a great report and commentary

I had to go in the other room so I wouldn't miss any of it. Coincidences? Too many of them, so I don't think so.

And, Bleev, my hand is up -- I do believe they are going down.

[bleever]

63. Out of curiosity, is your hubby of the same mind?

[SharonRB]

78. He thinks some of them are going down, but not all of them.

Libby and Rove, probably. Beyond that, he's not sure.

[Patsy Stone]

96. Let's hope Ari is in shul right now at a nice Kol Nidre service

He's got some atonin' to do! I think he's goin' down if he didn't already sing.

[SharonRB]

120. I think so, too.

Rove, Libby and Fleischer. You know his last day was the same day as the Novak article, or something like that, don't you? It was posted on DU a while back.

[Patsy Stone]

127. Yep.

Couldn't stand to look at him. He made my stomach turn.

[Berry Cool]

139. He can't marry you, Rev.

He's already going to marry me. :loveya:

He said so last night! Just before I woke up!

[WolverineDG]

145. yes, that was good, rev

so good, in fact, that i need a cigarette & i don't even smoke!!
;)

dg

[RevCheesehead]

150. Do you have any plastic drinking straws in the house?

Don't forget to cut it in half!

[WolverineDG]

155. LOL

somehow, that just isn't the same..... :(

dg

[Berry Cool]

176. Hey, Keith's "I Quit" is so inspiring that after it would run,

I'd collect all long, narrow and mouth-insertable things in my place, throw them in the sink, run water over them and throw them away.

I now have no pens and pencils anywhere.

And no further comments on this post from the peanut gallery. :-)

[Botany]

58. What is the difference between

the threat of death by terror or terror by threat.

The man can turn a phrase.

:bounce:

btw .... bleever you are right bush and company are falling before our
eyes.

[bleever]

66. I didn't actually believe it would happen. I just started those threads

to cheer everyone up. I thought we were totally fucked.

:7

[Patsy Stone]

67. J'accuse! n/t

76. Alright, alright...I'll atone. As soon as the sun goes down.

Now: I believe I'll have another drink.


:)

[SharonRB]

91. Now he tells us. n/t

[bleever]

93. LOL.

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

224. actually I believed it would happen

*and* that we were totally fucked. ;-) Now, all we have to do is get un-fucked after we finish throwing the bums out. :7

[bleever]

60. I'm very curious to see how Keef questions ol' Asa. Interesting choice

of guests; you might think Asa would automatically pooh-pooh the story, because of his political affiliation, and because he's always seemed, to me, to be full of poo.

[Patsy Stone]

65. Currently poo pooh-ing as we speak.

:puke: Nothing to see here, move along.

Not this time!

[spooky3]

69. Asa is simply full of it--and full of himself.

[RevCheesehead]

82. The man has a mouth like The Joker.

Check out the curly smile:



Actually, this one's better:

[Patsy Stone]

84. LOL

Two more candidates:

[Berry Cool]

178. Actually, wouldn't that make THREE candidates?

Asa's lips sort of remind me of a cat's.

[Patsy Stone]

182. It would indeed.

I tried for just Jim, but Tammy was too tempting to pass up.

[bleever]

85. LOL. That upper lip on Asa freaks me out worse than the Joker.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

141. That is classic.

I don't think Asa's assessment stands up. Keith is being SO fair and calm and non-nutball about this and by doing so and having the obviously slanted Asa saying "Oh, there's nothing to what you're saying," it makes his calm, reasoned laying out of the incidents all the more damning than they would be if Keith screamed them all at full tinfoil-hat volume.

:loveya: calm Keith.

[bleever]

181. Excellent comment, Berry. The contrast was clear, with KO being

as reasoned as he was.

:thumbsup:

[bleever]

70. When he visited SF as drug czar, they busted medical marijuana clinics

to add, oh, I don't know, a little JAZZ HANDS to his presence.

:puke:

[Patsy Stone]

75. LOL

and :puke:

[SharonRB]

80. Did he practically accuse KO of wearing a tinfoil hat?

[bleever]

92. He did, and I thought Keef was very artful in posing his questions

so that Asa couldn't paint all suspects as kooks.

Good job, KO!

[Patsy Stone]

112. Such a charmer.

Medicated, I'd say.

[Patsy Stone]

71. Reuters: Fitz may extend the GJ GD link

[bleever]

83. Some things are better if they last longer.

Go Fitz!!

[SharonRB]

86. No -- I want it to be over already

I can't stand the suspense anymore.

[WolverineDG]

77. WHAT A GD LIAR

Asa Hutchins...what a freaking LIAR! He's all smiling & smarmy, saying that in order to keep credibility, the government has to share all the info it has with the public.....SO WHY SIT ON THE INFO RELEASED LAST WEEK FOR FOUR DAYS & HAVE A NEWSREPORTER KILL THE STORY??????? :nuke:

bbl

dg

[SharonRB]

81. Hi, DG!

[WolverineDG]

87. Hi Sharon!!

Hope your atoning goes well & you can have some time to yourself tomorrow.

dg

[SharonRB]

88. I have a feeling I'm going to work enough to not even have to

take any PTO for tomorrow.

[Berry Cool]

142. Yeah, and how can you possibly call four-year-old information "still good"

That's like saying the leftovers in your fridge have been there for four years "but they're still good"!

Maybe that ancient bowl of noodles they just found in China in that archaeological dig is still good too!

144. The DU'ers are going nuts with lovin' on Keith, as they rightly should.

There just aren't enough floaties in the world for Keith tonight.

And if it hadn't been a floatacular night anyway...the closing segment with the little girl was just as charming as hell.

GREAT show from beginning to end. Kudos to all involved. :applause:

What else can be said? Go forth and encourage people to watch the video and the re-air!

[WolverineDG]

148. i predicted level 3 last night

are we there yet? i noticed our sigs have disappeared....

dg

[Patsy Stone]

149. So let it be written!

So let it be done! Go forth! Go forth and spread the words of the gospel according to the truth!

Many floticular moments. A joy and a delight. Who's e-mail is gonna be overflowin'?

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

It had a great beat, you could dance to it. I give it a 98!

[RevCheesehead]

146. I am disappointed.

I wanted to watch Smurfs get blown up. :(

[spooky3]

152. Rev, sometimes I worry about you.

Most of the time, I just die laughing! :-)

[RevCheesehead]

158. Well, at least I'm consistant.

I've always wanted to see Smurfs blow up. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

156. But you get the * Administration blowing up instead.

Surely you can take some comfort in that, my child? :)

[RevCheesehead]

164. Ya know, Pats, those Jewish holidays

really bring out the maternal instinct in ya. "my child." :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

167. LOL

Are you hungry? You want I should make you something to eat? :)

[bleever]

171. Stop already with the pestering! If she's hungry, she'll say so!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

185. LOFL!

Okay, okay... I just thought she might want something. She looked hungry. :)

[RevCheesehead]

187. Honey, I'm ALWAYS hungry.

That's the problem. (and you can't say no to church people - that's in the preacher's rulebook)

[Berry Cool]

183. I'm not even Jewish, and Keith has me feeling maternal tonight.

That last segment with the little girl...

Aw, Keith. You. Me. We make baby. Come on. It be cute. I promise.

OK, it have thick eyebrows and really bad eyesight. But it still be cute.

[bleever]

174. And, if I may say so, they're gonna blow up REAL GOOD!

:7

[Patsy Stone]

186. Love it.

Now, if technology would cooperate this evening, all would be perfect.

[WolverineDG]

159. maybe he's saving those

for tomorrow...or friday.... :shrug:

dg

[SharonRB]

165. Maybe he'll name UNICEF the "worst person in the world"

for blowing up Smurfs. Notice he didn't do that segment tonight.

[Patsy Stone]

169. The "terra alerts" were tonight's

Worst Person in the World.

[SharonRB]

179. I'll take it

He did a fabulous job with that story. DU is going nuts. Have you ventured out?

[Patsy Stone]

189. I have, and I'm kvelling!

They love him. They're writing their little fingers to the bone in praise and filling his inbox with love. They are singing and dancing and frolicking. It's beautiful.

[RevCheesehead]

192. DU is frolicking?

Any Bay Airs out there among them? And where's Berry?

[Patsy Stone]

196. Skipping like little girls...

So much joy. The smell of indictments in the air... Ah.

[SharonRB]

199. Hey, everyone, check out this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4137577&mesg_id=4137577

There's a link to a very cool site -- a map that they're trying to get everyone from DU to put themselves on until we fill up the whole country with DUers.

[Patsy Stone]

201. Cool

Done.

[WolverineDG]

205. great link!

:) added myself to it. :) i'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch, tho. :cry:

dg

[Berry Cool]

216. Here and frolicking.

And I wish I could get all frolicked out...but not necessarily with Bay Airs.

[SharonRB]

193. It really is.

And thanks for posting that link to the video. Hubby was in the basement working on the humidifier that's not working when KO did the story. Now he was able to see it.

[bleever]

202. Soon daisies will rain down from the sky, at this rate.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

204. Can't you just see 'em?

He speaks, and it's a rainbow. :)

[RevCheesehead]

166. That would be great.

Tomorrow night, we blow up Smurfs! :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

197. And after that, Big Jim and Billy Sol will blow up the Ewoks!

Now THAT is something you can put on pay-per-view!

[RevCheesehead]

198. After our final finals in Seminary,

You know, the last ones, ever - we had a "Blow Up Barney" party. My friend Paul had some gunpowder which he put in a stuffed Barney doll, and BAM!

Barney Rubble.


:rofl:

[bleever]

206. Cheese, if I ever get to be Robin Hood, will you be my friar?

And no, I'm not talking fried chicken here.

[RevCheesehead]

207. Abso.. looto...babso... latto.. abbabee..

Um, sure!

[bleever]

209. LOL! Is that the best picture you can google up of two noble

defenders of truth such as ourselves?

At least put on one your best hats, and I'll promise not to wear tights.

:7

[RevCheesehead]

210. Well, I considered the Robin Hood Bay Air production....

[bleever]

211. You know, I kinda like that. Are those collectible, edible, or

flammable?

[Patsy Stone]

212. Are those all really mutually exclusive?

I think not. :hi:

'night! Off to have sweet dreams of Grand Juries.

[Gogi]

231. Let me guess:

As a child you set your sister's Barbie doll on fire and/or fire bombed your GI Joe.:spank:

[RevCheesehead]

234. Um, all of the above?

Sorry I missed your response last night. I was crazy enough to go to bed early. :)

What I want to know is, what's with the Robin Hood thing? I mean, he's about as far as you can get from a Pirate, isn't he?

[gkhouston]

225. maybe they'll blow them up real good

on tonight's (Thursday's) show? Shouldn't Smurf destruction be a timeless treasure, savored throughout the ages?

208. To Dream the Impossible Dream: "Frog March Puppet Theater".

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy: Watergate buff sportscaster-turned-newsman finds himself witnessing similar historical events but with far grander implications, all the while having a news show that has acquired enough credibility and eyeball-worthiness to book the very best guests to look at each day's developments, informed both by the acumen of the commentators and the guiding wisdom of the questions.

So: no Frog March Puppet Theater. Too flippant for this topic. Beyond, as they say, the pale: that final fence beyond which is wilderness, and whatever humanity may exist there savages. Yes, beyond the license of Bloggerman.

So it is up to us. We must make this happen.

We owe to Olbermann.

We owe it to Murrow.

We owe it to Ernie Kovacs.

We owe it to Steve Allen, Sid Caeser, and everyone whoever spoke sincerely without fear of being laughed at, or made jokes without fear of the wrath of the self-appointed stiflers of human joy and creativity.


I'm saving up popsicle sticks.


Woo hoo hoo.

[Patsy Stone]

213. Here's hoping there are more than enough parts to go around! n/t

[Berry Cool]

217. Well said, bleev!

I can't wait for the day to come!

Of course, I can imagine Keith's reply...

"Oh, you're saying I'm a WATERGATE-buff sportscaster-turned-newsman. For a minute there, I thought you were saying I was a 'BUFF sportscaster-turned-newsman.' Definitely not the case."

[bunny planet]

219. I am bummed beyond belief that this is the KO show I had to miss both

real time and in the rerun. Anybody got a tape or did anyone on DU post a highlight. I heard he was magnificent, said something about 'Is this the threat of terror, or the terror of threats...'

Even without having seen it I can clearly send out some of these to our hero with extra backbone Keith Olbermann.
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

See, the rest of you presstitutes, it's not so hard to tell the truth, like KO does, in fact, it earns you respect and loyalty. Why don't you all follow his lead for a change. Telling the truth is easy, it's the lying and shilling that's hard.

[SharonRB]

227. Hey, bunny

Someone did post a link to a video of the whole story. I'm just not sure where it is. If I find it, I'll PM it to you.

Sorry you missed it -- he was ab fab!

[gkhouston]

228. isn't there an indirect link to it somewhere in this thread?
