So, this is Fitzmas...KOEB 10/28

[SharonRB]

I called it -- I knew KO would pick up on the baseball analogy right away.

[Patsy Stone]

1. And what have you done?

Hi, Sharon. It's the really stripey orange tie. Okay, whatever.

Still, KO: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

4. Who called the orange tie last night? Wolvie?

Hi, Pats.

Shabbat Shazam, indeed!

[Patsy Stone]

7. It's all the holidays rolled into one!

As * runs off to Camp David. :puke:

Hi, Rev.! Can't wait to hear more about "Official A". :)

[SharonRB]

13. It's Fitzmas, Fitznukah, Fitzgiving, Fitzover, Fitzster..

I think it's going to be the holiday that keeps on giving for a while.

[Botany]

26. Let it go to spring w/ the Fitz Bunny

Today was Big.

Rove, Cheney, Ari, Hadley, and Bolton are all in Fitz'z sights

[Olney Blue]

40. And Fitzoween.....

[SharonRB]

43. Good one, Olney!

[bleever]

44. The Year of the Fitz!

:thumbsup:

[Botany]

47. or the Fitz of July .... We now have a fighter for America

[Olney Blue]

50. Gorgeous!

Thanks for the fireworks, Botany!


:yourock:

[SharonRB]

53. Another good one!

Great picture -- what's with the Citgo logo?

[Botany]

67. You just cant't please everybody!

this better

[SharonRB]

69. Go Blue!

Although this looks like it was taken during the time we had that stupid yellow halo on the stadium. There were so many complaints, they took it down.

My seats are in the upper right corner, straight up from the edge of the end zone, in row 78.

[Botany]

77. Nice seats & i am sure i will enjoy them

:rofl:

BTW did KO just say that the Washington Post is reporting that
Fitz was going to charge Rove but he got even more info??????

:bounce:

[SharonRB]

78. Yes. His attorney provided information that gave Fitz "pause"

I hope it won't stop him from indicting soon.

Oh, and, by the way, you can't enjoy something you'll never see.

[Botany]

85. Oh my

That is big ..... pig boy better get ready to squeal or else
Fitz is going to drop the hammer on him. and he
very well might go for the "outing" a CIA agent charge.

Look in the spirt of Fitzmas how about the tickets??????

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

95. Ummmmmmmm .

No.

[WolverineDG]

88. good move

keep that threat of indictment over rove's head...see how much the pig will squeal & who he'll throw off the bus to save his sorry hide.

dg

[SharonRB]

92. Hi, DG -- how was dinner?

[WolverineDG]

98. still waiting for the call

my friend is driving into sa from devine...said she'd call when she's 20 mins. away from the restaurant. no ringy-dingy yet. :(

dg

[Botany]

99. Crispini as a little girl picture

[crispini]

128. LOL!

Sticks and stones, Cuddles. :D

[Botany]

130. Sticks & stones may brake my bones but .......

..... whips really excite me.

[crispini]

134. I knew you'd get it. :)

[gkhouston]

140. beautiful, Botany

and even more beautiful is to see someone fighting for America by telling the truth and adhering to the letter and the spirit of our laws. If we're lucky, he could start a fad.

[WolverineDG]

86. wasn't that just funny

that shrubbie says he & everyone in the white house need to go to work just before he goes on vacation again. putz.

wasn't he the dashing yankee doodle dummy in red/white/blue (or should i say it in french "bleu/blanc/rouge" just to piss him off)? so sad about the indictment, yet not angry at all that someone he supposedly ordered to cooperate fully w/the investigation ended up being charged w/obstruction of it? oh sure, he wanted to get to the bottom of the outing of valerie plame. yah.

dg

[SharonRB]

8. Yes -- see my post -- she just called me

[WolverineDG]

91. hee!

:hi: nice talking to you sharon!! still waiting for my friend to call me so i can go eat. :( tomorrow, me & pats take on miami....

dg

[SharonRB]

94. Oh, that's great that you and Pats get to meet

I'm jealous.

You didn't even go to dinner yet?

[Patsy Stone]

115. We will meet Sharon

and we will eat. :)

[WolverineDG]

132. and then who knows?

but if you hear of any wild stories coming out of miami tomorrow night, it wasn't us. O8)

dg

[SharonRB]

136. I'd love to have a nosh with you, Pats

[WolverineDG]

83. actually, i called it a few days ago

but in a pm. :)

dg

[Patsy Stone]

84. Hi!

Nice to see you. Merry Fitzmas! :)

[WolverineDG]

93. and a happy new fitz!

:toast:

happy fitznukah to you, pats! ::clinkies::

dg

[Patsy Stone]

116. Clinkies!

Looking forward to tomorrow. :toast: Have a safe trip!

[SharonRB]

5. DG just called me -- she's in San Antonio and isn't near

her computer -- she said to tell everyone she called it that he'd wear that tie as soon as indictments came down. She may be on later after she gets back from dinner.

[WolverineDG]

87. ok it's time once again to play

good association for bad ties: think t-i-double guh-r

:evilgrin:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

125. The wonderful thing about Tiggers

Is he's the only one. :)

Much nicer image. Thanks.

ed: 'cuz I was stoopid.

[WolverineDG]

133. any time!

don't forget, tiggers are also bouncy & fun fun fun fun FUN!

dg

[RevCheesehead]

2. I thought Fitz used it just for Keith to use on his show!

Hi, Sharon :hi:

Merry Fitmas, Happy Fitznukah everyone!! :woohoo:

[cal04]

3. so that explains the crutches

scooter took the fall

[RevCheesehead]

6. It's amazing he wasn't "suicided."

Hi, cal. :hi:

[SharonRB]

31. If they're afraid of what he'll say in court, I hope he doesn't

get on any small planes. I don't want to be denied a trial.

[bleever]

9. Merry, merry Fitzmas everyone. Tis the season, tisn't it?

:party:

[Patsy Stone]

12. 'Tis!

No, I don't know what it is... Just drink it. :hi:

[SharonRB]

14. Looks yummy whatever it is.

[Patsy Stone]

17. I thought so.

And so festive! :)

[bleever]

22. (Wiping mouth on sleeve): May I have another?

:)

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

29. Mais oui!

But I was tired of mixing those. :)

[bleever]

89. It's the time of night to go into assembly-line mode.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

118. Mixing by rote.

Sort of like when you shuffle to the coffee in the morning and you know all the steps and where to turn. :)

[bunny planet]

112. Pink squirrel dahling.

Yum.

[Patsy Stone]

121. Like this?

:)

[bunny planet]

124. Oh you're good, really good.

[RevCheesehead]

10. Sounds like Rove rolled on Libby.

Damn - no wonder the guy's on crutches.

[SharonRB]

11. LOL

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

28. Seriously - don't you look at Rove and think,

"American Sumo Wrestler?"

[Olney Blue]

33. Poster child for "choice"

LOL

[RevCheesehead]

35. HA!

Good one. Of course, one could say the same for abstinence. :)

[Olney Blue]

38. But not intelligent design!

:evilgrin:

[bleever]

30. LOL. Happy Fitzmas, Cheese.

And, please that wave thing away from me.

:7

[RevCheesehead]

34. If you have two or three more drinks,

you'll hardly smell it at all. :)

[bleever]

49. Actually, now I think I know why we call you "Cheese".

:7

[RevCheesehead]

54. ..

[crispini]

129. ROFL!

[spooky3]

15. Lawrence O'Donnell noting that Russert has more credibility

than Libby and that the witness list for this trial is very interesting.

[Patsy Stone]

18. Ari Fleischer

Music to my ears... Spill it Ari!

[bleever]

76. Squeeeeeeze Ari's nuts with the threat of some jail time, please.

Or just squeeze 'em. Make him talk.

Lean. On. Ari!
Lean. On. Ari!
Lean. On. Ari!
Lean. On. Ari!
Lean. On. Ari!
Lean. On. Ari!

[Patsy Stone]

82. Maybe he'd enjoy it?

You never know... :)

Yessssss. There's someone who wouldn't fare well at all in prison. He'll spill. Can't wait.

And it's a loooooooong list of possibilities.

[Patsy Stone]

114. His AKA:

SHEILA FERRIC :)

[bunny planet]

113. first thing,they take off his glasses and step on them, and he's got that

blind mole thing going on. Spill Ari, if you know what's good for you.

[Patsy Stone]

117. LOL!

I can see him now, all squinty. :)

[Patsy Stone]

16. This was the first full day back at work for me

I'm actually still reading the indictment, and I still have to find the video of Fitzgerald's statement.

All in all, a terrible day for America and a small step for justice. I'm amazed that he hasn't even had the chance to delve into the real issues of the case because it took him this long to figure out what the heck the real truth was.

And Libby, blaming Tim, shame on you.

[bleever]

32. Tim, the guy who specializes in putting people's quotes onscreen

and quizzing them about what they've said.


:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

41. Don't forget the Election 2000 dry-erase board.

That was a classic moment.

[Patsy Stone]

75. LOFL!

Hysterical. Good on you for finding that. :rofl:

[bleever]

19. "I Believe" thread for Fitzmas: don't miss it!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5211676&mesg_id=5211676

[bleever]

42. P.S.: I Believe I'm going to drink a whole lot of sake tonight.

Hammered on fermented Rice because the charge Fitz and the investigation will Rove through the Bushes and break the Cheney of criminal actions and until *'s Rumisfelt all through his miserable chimpy self, because I'm feeling Libbyrated by today's events.


(Hey, I'm writing like Botany!)



:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

48. LOL

You mean, the author of "Ball Guy?"

[SharonRB]

51. Very good.

I just opened up a bottle of cherry wine from northern Michigan. I never drink at home, but I told myself when the indictments come down, I'm going to treat myself.

[Olney Blue]

60. Cherry wine?

Hummm- is that good?

[SharonRB]

61. I really like it.

[RevCheesehead]

65. Great idea, Sharon!

I've got a couple bottles of Door Peninsula Cherry wine.... or maybe I'll have the spiced apple (for the holiday season). :9

[Olney Blue]

70. Never had it- will have to try it!

[gkhouston]

141. what, you save your drinking for WORK?? n/t

[Patsy Stone]

20. "Leaky Friday"!

Props to the caption dept. :thumbsup:

Oooh, more on Patrick, Rev. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

36. He will be mine.

Pat :loveya: Fitzgerald

[Patsy Stone]

66. Such a good, good man.

:loveya: I can't wait to watch the video in its entirety.

[bunny planet]

21. I got home in time, I'm watching.

Happy, Happy Fitzmas KOEB.

[bleever]

23. Happiest of Fitzmases to you, bunny.

:toast:

[Patsy Stone]

25. It's a wonderful night.

Let's all call him "Irv" instead of Scooter -- just to piss him off.

:hi:

[bunny planet]

122. Yo Irv, nice crutches.

[Patsy Stone]

123. LOL

"like someone without her methadone dixie cup" I just saw your post in my thread from yesterday. :rofl:

I was sooo worried that I'd miss Fitzmas, but in a cathartic, "Take it easy, you're obsessing!" way, it was nice to be out of touch.

I think that the national news was looking for a bad story after Wilma, and don't get me wrong, there are still lots of people without power and so many trees and more than a few roofs are destroyed, so they took the video of the first day or so and ran with it. FPL's doing a fine job. They already have the power back on to half of the 900K people who don't have it and 300K are back on in Broward.

We'll actually see how FEMA performs in the next few months as people try and get their houses repaired and aid requests filled. It ain't over yet, they still have plenty of time to screw up. It was nice to see Jebbie's mea culpa though, even if it wasn't really necessary.

I'm trying to stay up for the repeat of Fitz's press conference on C-SPAN at 11:50. At the very least, I'm gonna tape it. Only on page 8 of 22 of the indictment, and I'm already sleepy, but I can't put it down. :)

[SharonRB]

27. Merry, merry and happy, happy Bunny

The beginning of a long road, but it's the right road to be on, finally.

[SharonRB]

79. I just read your other post -- great poem

Did you write it?

[bunny planet]

101. Hi, just got back to the computer. Had to chauffer the offspring to

various Halloween parties. I'm back now for the moment.

No, I didn't write the poem, I got it off of firedoglake's blog this morning. That, btw, is one of the best blogs to follow about this case, although you guys probably know about it already. One of the people who blogs there is a prosecutor, or was, so the information is really interesting and it's sometimes very funny too. Not sure which of the three that run the site is the prosecutor, but Jane Hammsher posts occasionally over at Huffington post too.

How about what Lawrence O'Donnell had to say. Pretty awesome, Libby is facing time and can't plea down unless he gives something up to Fitz, and Rove would've been better off with a minor charge today because now, under the cloud, everyday he works at the WH is a bad day for the WH. Also, if Scooty goes to trial, Darth Cheney has to testify under oath, as well as Ari, and Unca KKKarl. Oh my.

I'm exhibiting at an art fair in NYC this week with my Nashville gallery and one of the other artists they represent has a sculpture up in the booth. It's a very lifelike sculpture of Karl Rove in a suit with a rat's tail and hands. It's great, I keep forgetting to bring my camera to take a picture of it. We get a lot of comments from all kinds of people. Most say they could never live with such a thing but a few people have said 'can I buy it just so that I can break it.'
We were a bit bummed today that the Pillsbury Roveboy didn't go down for the count with Irv but I'm optimistic.

[SharonRB]

102. I've never heard of that blog. What's the linky?

[bunny planet]

103. firedoglake.blogspot.com

[SharonRB]

105. Thanks, Bunny

And, again, good luck with your show this weekend.

[bunny planet]

107. Thanks, so far it's been a great show. Lots of people, two cocktail

parties (you know I liked that). One sale so far, and two full days to go. I also may have picked up a Montreal gallery out of it so in case Bushco. doesn't get impeached eventually I can move to Canada (just kidding, I'm going to stay and fight). The art in a lot of the other galleries is beautiful and inspiring. I'm bringing my daughter there tomorrow before her class, I'm sure she'll love it.

[SharonRB]

108. If you ever get a gallery around here for a show,

you're welcome to stay here!

[bunny planet]

111. I would love that. Don't know of any galleries in your area, do you?

I am actively trying to get some representation in other parts of the country. I just got a gallery in Beacon, NY, which is the new Chelsea on the Hudson with a lot of NYC galleries having branches up there, and I'm showing in a gallery in Chicago next summer, not certain whether I'll join as an officially represented artist yet. I will be sending out slide packets to lots of different places in the next six months or so, if I find the name of one in Michigan, what towns should I look in? I know you are close to Detroit, but from what I know, the music scene is still hopping in Detroit, don't know about the art scene.

[SharonRB]

135. Good places to look are Ferndale and Birmingham

There are a number of galleries in each and they are close to me. Royal Oak, if you see any, is really close to me also, but I'm not sure if there are any good galleries. Ann Arbor isn't close, but may be a good place to look (about 45 minutes from me).

Good luck!

Sharon

[bunny planet]

104. Sorry, here it is

http://firedoglake.blogspot.com/

[Olney Blue]

24. Hi everyone!

:hi:

OMG, Libby was a Democrat at one time!!!!!

[RevCheesehead]

39. Then maybe he's still redeemable?

Like how Luke saw the good in Darth Vader?

I heard on NPR discussions about Libby taking plea deals... he could sell out the whole BFEE!

[SharonRB]

45. If I have a choice between him and the BFEE, I'll take the BFEE

anytime!

[Olney Blue]

46. And why not?

If Libby saw Rove laughing in front of his Jag saying "have a nice weekend"
it must be annoying as hell.

And- everyone is standing back letting him fall on his sword.

[Botany]

37. Today was great!

Fitz started w/ 1 indictment in Illinois and finished w/ 66 and the
governor .... he is on the case.

:bounce:

[bleever]

52. A journey of 66 steps begins with: one step. And this was a BIG step.

:toast:

[Botany]

63. Real Big!

"This is not the beginning of the end but the end of the beginning."

John Dean will now come out snarking!

[SharonRB]

55. Libby, Libby, Libby on the indictment, indictment, indictment`

:rofl:

[spooky3]

56. who else would remember that ad? :-)

[SharonRB]

57. I did.

[bunny planet]

119. me too.

[Patsy Stone]

120. Moi, aussi. n/t

[SharonRB]

58. Truth?

They can't handle the truth.

[Olney Blue]

64. They can't tell the truth!!!!!

[RevCheesehead]

59. Single, straightlaced, intelligent,...

Like Elliot Ness with a Harvard Education and a sense of humor.

He will be mine! :bounce:

[Gogi]

131. Starting a harem, Rev, or have you abandoned KO to me?

eom

[RevCheesehead]

137. I'll take the Harem, thanks.

But, being the generous soul that I am, I am willing to share with all my EDV friends. O8)

[SharonRB]

62. Raw Story is reporting that Rove is "Official A"

Not that that comes as a shock to anyone here. I just fear that he cut a deal and will get out of this scott free.

[Olney Blue]

68. I wonder what Rove's lawyer told Fitz to "give him pause"

to go ahead and indict today.

:shrug:

[SharonRB]

71. That's what's bothering me

Whatever he told him, stopped him from indicting Rove today.

[Olney Blue]

80. Regardless, I am furious that Rove is still working

in the White House.

[SharonRB]

81. Me, too

[gkhouston]

139. do we really know that?

or is this more "information" being circulated by Luskin? Saying the information "gave him pause" makes it sound like Rove came up with something that makes Fitz think Rove is innocent. More likely, IMHO, Rove is trying to cut a deal -- or Fitz is trying to decide how many counts of obstruction of justice or perjury or something else would be appropriate. Or maybe he's dithering with whether or not to charge Rove under the espionage act. This "gave him pause" just sounds so spin-like to me and everyone associated with Fitz has been so notoriously tight-lipped that I'm thinking we should take that with a canister of salt. Kosher, if you prefer. :-)

[bleever]

72. My feeling is that if Fitz cuts a deal with Rove, it's because he gets

to yet a bigger crime.

I trust Fitz not to let Rove skate unless the resulting payoff is even greater.


(But I still want to see Rove turning on a spit over a fire.)


:)

[SharonRB]

73. That's my feeling, but I'm still concerned

Barbara Boxer is on Larry King.

[Patsy Stone]

74. I still say

bring back public hanging.

:)

[Botany]

90. As long as it is done in good taste!

Can you imagine Rove or * having to face a real trial?

They would pee their pants ....... They have operated outside
the laws of man and decency for so long it will be great to see
"it" catch up with them.

[WolverineDG]

97. you forgot to add

drawing & quartering, the traditional punishment for traitors.

dg

[SharonRB]

96. John Dean coming up on Larry King now

[SharonRB]

106. Maher should be good tonight -- Richard Clarke and Helen Thomas

are among his guests.

[bettyellen]

138. Oh i'm sorry i missed that- he's been begging helen forever!

thanks Sharon- I'm going to look out for a repeat.
was it great or what?

[bunny planet]

109. Want to hear something funny. Guess what book that I ordered came in

the mail today? All the President's Men, LOL, how appropriate.

[SharonRB]

110. It certainly is.

I've been reading Worse than Watergate, but I haven't had much time to read and seem to only get through a few pages at a time. It's excellent, if you haven't read it.

[crispini]

126. Hi squids! Here for the rerun!

back from our Fitzmas drinking binge......

Patrick :loveya: Fitzgerald...

Ok... off to read the thread. Ooo, I don't know about this tie tonight.

edited to add: ok Lawrence o'donnell seems to be telling me I'm a far left winger... hm......

[crispini]

127. "Sword of Damocles" over Rove.

Bwaahahahahah.
