:hi:

This will be my last night with all of you lovelies for a while. Scott Ritter (arms inspector) and Jeff Cohen (of FAIR) will be in town for an event on Saturday and there's a reception tomorrow night and then I leave for Chicago on Saturday and won't be back until Wednesday night. Monday - Wednesday is for work and I'm spending the weekend with a friend, my former boss.

[SeattleGirl]

7. Hi Sharon!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

9. Hi, SG

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

34. You're gonna miss all the fireworks here about Kwame!!!

Round one just started.

[SharonRB]

40. I've heard about enough already

It's time for him to go quietly into the night, I think. It might actually be nice to get away from the coverage for a few days.

[GigiMommy]

45. I think it's going to get...

REALLY UGLY!

[SharonRB]

51. I agree we ain't seen nothin' yet

He could wind up in jail for perjury.

By the way, did you hear that Dwyer is going to be named commissioner in Warren? I guess that means he won't be running for state house after all!

[GigiMommy]

67. Woooo Hooooooo!!!!!!

I thought he had a good shot at getting it. You does that leave?

[SharonRB]

70. I know Vicki Barnett is running

This will make it easier for her, I think. It's for Aldo's seat, but you probably know that.

[GigiMommy]

76. YEP!...

and you mentioned a recall on Aldo too? Meeting on 31st?

[SharonRB]

85. Yes

The clarity hearing for the ballot language is on the 31st. Even if it gets on the ballot, he'll never get recalled. Geez -- he's term limited in November. Give the poor guy a break. I love Aldo and so does everyone who knows him. What a way to go out!

[GigiMommy]

102. I'll try to be there but

I'm having knee surgery on the 28th.

[SharonRB]

107. Oooh,...good luck with your surgery

Is it just arthroscopic?

I wish I could be at the hearing, but it will be my first day back in the office after my trip to Chicago.

[GigiMommy]

118. Yes, just arthroscopic.

Hubby will be back from Australia that night.

[SharonRB]

120. That's quite a trip!

He'll be exhausted.

[bleever]

48. Please tell Scott Ritter

bleev says "hey".

[SharonRB]

50. Does he know you?

And by that name?

[bleever]

60. Well,

no. But I've known who he was since the beginning of the sales job on the Iraq war, and I consider him a patriot and a hero.

Have a good time!

[SharonRB]

88. Thanks.

[bleever]

11. There have been 935 misleading statements in the Democratic primary fight.

Make that 936.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

15. And November is still a long way off.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

16. And that's just between Clinton and Obama.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

14. Get those white voters out for Edwards!

Did I say that out loud?

[SeattleGirl]

18. Uh, I think you did.

:silly:

[Patsy Stone]

19. ...

you totally did.

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

17. Hi All!!!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

20. Hi Gigi!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

26. Hi SG!!!

Had to retrieve a doggie toy!

[SharonRB]

21. Hi, Gigi

She's so adorable!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

27. Hi Sharon!!

Thank you! She's a handful sometimes.

[rocktivity]

80. Yes, she is adorable

But she may be chewing on her foot too much...

:evilgrin:
rocknation

[GigiMommy]

91. Giggles!!!! Hi Rocknation!

:hi: :rofl: We both laughed.

[Patsy Stone]

22. Hi, GigiMommy!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

28. Hi Patsy!!

How ya doin'!!

[WolverineDG]

23. Is South Carolina over yet?

:banghead:

dg

[SharonRB]

24. I wish

I so want Edwards to make a good showing there.

Bummer that Kooch dropped out. I hope his voters go to John.

[SeattleGirl]

25. Hello????? Did you guys forget already about Edwards?????

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[Botany]

47. In many cases he is being "frozen out."

Edwards polls the best of any democrat in the General Election.

[SharonRB]

53. The MSM is afraid of him

He has by far the best chance in November.

[SeattleGirl]

57. Hi Sharon. Yes, he does.

Though you wouldn't know it overall, as far as the media is concerned.

I guess what they're telling us is that our choice is really between two people who are more interested in bashing each other and relegating WE THE PEOPLE to an extremely minor role, as opposed to someone who really cares about us and this country.

[Botany]

62. and being a trial attorney he is well aware of what the corporations .....

.... have done and the size of their control.

Although he has to show strong in S. Carolina or he is done .....
in that case I am all for Obama. Hillary I just don't trust ....
why have the HMOs, big insurance, and big drug companies
been dumping money into her campaign? They want to keep
making money on illness and death.

[SeattleGirl]

65. Yes, Hilary is way too corporate for me.

And -- and I know this is kind of a superficial reason -- I don't want another Clinton (or Bush) in the white house. Enough with the American Dynasty crap.

[Botany]

69. That is no little thing

28 years is enough! If Hillary wins it will be 32 years :puke:

[SeattleGirl]

56. Oh, I know.

I just get tired of hearing about Clinton and Obama all the freakin' time.

If I have to vote for one of them, I had to confess it will be with reluctance, and I've never felt that way about voting for a Dem before.

[Botany]

66. Why do you hate women?

I worked for many hours and gave money to a women running for
congress and yet I have been slammed as a sexist for not liking
Hillary.

[SeattleGirl]

71. I don't hate women, Botany.

I don't hate Hilary either; I just don't like her politics.

As far as people calling you sexist for not liking Hilary, they can kiss my liberal ass. I AM female, and she is not my #1 pick by any means.

Some people just see things in the most plain and simple way, and cannot think in any nuanced fashion.

[Botany]

78. My Fav Edwards' quote

Do not vote for me because you don't like a women or can not support
an African American .... if those are your reasons I don't want your vote.

[SeattleGirl]

82. I like that!

I hadn't heard that one before. I have heard him say that he didn't want people voting for him because Elizabeth has cancer.

Good for him!

[Patsy Stone]

29. Wow!

That's two events Keith is hosting WITHOUT Chris Matthews!

[SharonRB]

30. Yay!

[SeattleGirl]

32. There IS a god!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

122. Berry After the Show checking in for a bit.

:hi: I was THRILLED to see that not only is Tweety getting replaced with Stretch on Saturday, but that Keith is doing his own Countdown special after a debate as well!

Anyone else see a sudden cooling of MSNBC's former Tweety ardor?? I do!

[CC]

31. Woohoo no Tweety with KO Saturday

or next Thursday!!! :bounce::bounce:

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

33. Hey, CC!

Did I miss your birthday?

:hi:

[CC]

35. Yeah but then I am sneaky about

announcing it. lol

I ended up off here anyhow since I fell a sleep to Keith's voice and a purring cat.

[Patsy Stone]

37. Well

That's a lovely way to fall asleep.

[CC]

39. It was way early for me

but I should of known better than the lay down and pet the cat.

Thank you. What a cute bear.

[Berry Cool]

123. Belated Happy Birthday, Ferretessa!

[RevCheesehead]

36. Awww, Keith uses a Dell!

That's a pretty good endorsement right there.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

41. So do I

And Arianna wishes KO a happy birthday!

What, no tie this year?

[Patsy Stone]

46. None

:)

[WolverineDG]

52. Not even a box

:hide:

dg

[SharonRB]

54. How about a bottle of Merlot?

[WolverineDG]

61. or a rare baseball card?

:P

dg

[Berry Cool]

125. If he hasn't already got it

we can't afford it.

[RevCheesehead]

128. How about one ticket to "Spamalot"?

I would, coincidentally, have purchased the seat next to him.


Sorry for the long delay. My pastoral skills were needed on the phone. O8)

[Berry Cool]

124. Speak for yourself.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

126. Lisa Douglas looked like she was flirting with him big-time tonight!

[SharonRB]

38. Bring on anyone but McCain!

[GigiMommy]

42. Does all those stats include...

voter tampering?

[SharonRB]

44. I doubt it

We need another number for that.

[SeattleGirl]

49. Did you mean vote tampering?

And not voter tampering?

[GigiMommy]

58. You know...

:silly:

sometimes my Hubby calls me "Norma" as in Norm Crosby because I can flip/twist/mutilate words and phrases. YES VOTE TAMPERING!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

63. I thought that's what you meant, Gigi.

:)

[Botany]

43. Go Ari!

With all these Clinton supporters how come I have yet to meet any?

[bleever]

55. Dana Perino: the intelligence was confirmed by other nations,

the Great Britain, such as, and I personally believe that U.S. Americans should help the South Africa, such as, for our childrens' future.

[SeattleGirl]

59. God, she made a beauty pagent contestant sound like a Rhodes Scholar.

:eyes:

[WolverineDG]

64. She ain't called

Lies out her Ass Barbie for nuthin' ya know.

:hi: bleev!

dg

[Patsy Stone]

72. Maps!

We need maps! Get me lots and lots of maps!

[Botany]

86. Except for the facts that;

Italy told us the uranium from Niger was not true

German told us "Curveball" was a drunk & a liar.

[bleever]

94. That's the best part of the report; they document what was known

internally at the time the various statements were made.

[SharonRB]

68. FYI - Nancy will be on Malloy's show tonight at 10:30 ET

http://www.novamradio.com/index.php?pid=30

Once you get to that link, you have to click on "Primary Stream" (for most people), "Secondary Stream" (for Java) or "Dial-up Audio Link."

[GigiMommy]

79. Believe it or not, I listen

on my cell phone.

[SharonRB]

83. Really?

I saw that you could do that from the audio link.

[GigiMommy]

97. That's the only way I can listen anywhere in the house...

and NOT be "glued" to the computer. I wish he was on the radio here again.

[SharonRB]

100. I've never been a big fan

He's a little too strong for me. But I'll listen tonight to hear Nancy.

[Patsy Stone]

73. #3 Wiretap Dancing

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

74. I can't believe Hillary and Obama are going to miss this

important vote. They should go back for it.

What's up with those Dems in the House who voted with the Repukes. I'm so pissed!

[SeattleGirl]

77. That tells me that what is important to a lot of people isn't important

to them.

Running for President shouldn't be an excuse for not doing the job you currently have.

[Botany]

75. Keith's bush scandals

Iraq = $343,000,000 per day .... all on credit from China & Saudia Arabia

Lies to get us into Iraq ..... 935.
The admin had both the W.H.I.G. (White House Iraq Group) & The office of special plans
in the Pentagon putting out the lies and "cherry picking" the data.
It was never about everybody "thought" Iraq had WMDs and was linked to 9/11.

[WolverineDG]

81. Here's the Obama ad

Countdown to Clintonistas bitching about him running an ad in Florida in 5, 4, 3, 2....

:eyes:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

84. Yes

I have that ad here in Florida. :)

[Patsy Stone]

87. O/T: Obama will do tonight's Top Ten List

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4189316

[ralps]

89. Today's worst person in the world is Neil Cavuto for saying that the MSM is

not ripping John McCain apart! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

90. So, anyone going to watch the Puke debate?

I'm not sure if I am.

Especially because Mayor McCheese is moderating.

[Patsy Stone]

93. I don't think so

Although it does bring about some of the funniest comments on DU, so I'm torn.

[SharonRB]

95. I'm planning to watch.

[SeattleGirl]

108. I think I'll leave it on, but semi-distract myself by cleaning.

Make it a bit less painful.

[WolverineDG]

99. Celebrity Apprentice is on

so even though Gene Simmons got fired last week, I'll be watching that instead.

dg

[SharonRB]

104. I stopped watching The Apprentice

last season or the one before. I found no reason to go back to it now.

[Patsy Stone]

112. In spite of myself

and the fact that he voted for Bush in '04, I really like Gene Simmons. And his kids are a riot.

[WolverineDG]

129. Watching him is like watching a train wreck

but then again, he never lived by anyone else's rules, so he essentially dared Trump to fire him & he did.

dg

[Berry Cool]

127. Gene Simmons got fired?

I thought he only fired others.

[CBHagman]

109. I'm stuck at the office because of the damned thing.

I work late most debate evenings, and of course we have to cover the State of the Onion come Monday. :puke:

Wake me in time for the primary, and then for the general election.

[SharonRB]

113. Hi, CB

What do you do?

[CBHagman]

130. Hi back at you.

I work in production at a small newswire. We provide coverage of various events, usually government-related. I've worked several election cycles, and this is the busiest we've ever been.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

131. I'll bet it isq

It must be a fun job, even if it does get a bit hairy at times.

[SharonRB]

92. Anyone sticking around for

the Republican Comedy Hour?

[Patsy Stone]

96. From beautiful Boca Raton

I almost wanted to drive the 20 minutes up the road after work to pet David Shuster, but, nah... :)

[SharonRB]

98. You could have sung The Victors to him!

[Patsy Stone]

103. Better

I would have called you and you could have sung it to him.

[SharonRB]

110. If you could have called me and somehow had him hear

my phone ringing, he would have heard my phone playing it.

[GigiMommy]

106. Nope, listening to Mike Malloy.

[bleever]

111. I can't not look.

I hope it gets ugly. :)

[SharonRB]

115. Me. too

I watch for the comedy and to wait for those unexpected little moments.

[Botany]

101. Rudy's Last Stand

I'll skip it.

[Patsy Stone]

105. No picture

But it's gonna be ugly for Rudy in Florida. :hi:

[Botany]

114. I put a new one up.

Mitt
Rudy
Huckabee
John "100 years in Iraq" McCain

[Patsy Stone]

117. Mittens is up now

Talking about god knows what.

[CC]

116. If you call an EDV and the first words

out of your mouth are "I know your Keith is on but..." do not get upset when that EDV doesn't talk much.:banghead:
Could only pretend to listen to the phone and listen to Keith, had to give up typing. Now off to let the dogs out and get the zoo crew settled for the night. Skipping the repuke debate since it causes my brain to go dead.




edit-I can not type one handed and spell at the same time either.

[SharonRB]

119. Should we start a new thread for the debacle?

[bleever]

121. It's Mitt's time to shine, because the economy is about money,

and Mitt has a lot. Woo freakin' hoo.
