KOEB Meeting -- 1/11/06

[Patsy Stone]

:loveya::loveya:

[SharonRB]

1. Hello Dahling!

:hi:

I just heard back from Pangborn. They don't do special order. All ties are 58". Would that work or not?

[Patsy Stone]

3. I think it's 64"

for extra long. :hi:

The NSA whistleblower looks like Alex Karras. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

13. Bummer!

I there no way he can wear a shorter tie? I just don't know much about ties and how tall a man should be before he needs an extra long.

[Olney Blue]

18. Keith looks extra long to me.

:hi: Hi SharonRB!

[SharonRB]

22. Hi, Olney!

:rofl:

[Gogi]

121. My father is 6'5", believe me, the tie needs to be long.

KO would look funny in a regular tie.

[Patsy Stone]

2. Anyone see Arlen and Teddy go at it today?

If I see one more "Mrs. Alito" thread out there in GD, I'm cracking skulls.

[Berry Cool]

4. Hi Sharon and Pats!

and all others to come! :hi:

See you later!

HE'S WEARING MY FAVORITE SUIT!!!! :loveya:

[Olney Blue]

49. Hi Berry!

I love the suit too- he looks wonderful in it.

[Berry Cool]

98. Hi Olney!

Life is always better when Keith's wearing "The Suit." :loveya:

[SharonRB]

8. I saw them when CSPAN was showing some clips after

it was all over while I was at the gym.

[Patsy Stone]

15. I heard them say that

the guy agreed to let them see the papers and that someone was at or headed to the LoC to get them, but I don't know if they showed up.

[SharonRB]

17. I think they got them.

[Olney Blue]

10. Hi Patsy!

I watched the sparring match on a video clip on CNN- didn't see it live.

I thought they were going to have to take it outside!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

14. Then after the break

Teddy then admitted he, unfortunately, hadn't been to the gym in a while and hadn't had the chance to meet Specter. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

16. I heard about that.

And of course the first caller after they ended brought up Chappaquidick. Get over it, people! Yeah, it was a bad thing, but it was over 30 years ago.

[Patsy Stone]

26. One awful woman

yesterday morning (this morning?) said that the only thing pure as snow about Teddy was the color of his hair, and that Alito and CAP shouldn't matter because Chappaquddick happened and it didn't stop Teddy. :crazy:

[SharonRB]

28. Yeah, the guy who called tonight

said if they want to look at what Alito did 20 years ago, they should look at what Ted did 30+ years ago. WTF? What does that have to do with the confirmation hearing? These people make me nuts.

[Clark2008]

52. I said it last year and I'll say it again...

ORANGE TIE!!!!!!!!!!!

;)

:hi: all.

[SharonRB]

58. Yes!

[SharonRB]

5. He's wearing one of my favorite outfits

I love the tie and the suit. Good job tonight, Keith.

[WolverineDG]

29. one of my fave combos too

:thumbsup:

dg

[Berry Cool]

99. I had no idea this suit combination was so popular

I think it's just number one on him. Delight!

[WolverineDG]

111. general thought has always been

that he looks best in the dark colors.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

6. "Stories my producers are forcing me to do."

With video, I hope! :evilgrin:

Hi, Patsy :hi:

:loveya::loveya:

[ralps]

12. Hi RevCheesehead

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

25. Hi, Ralps

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

19. Hey, Rev!

Why do people think it's okay to give up civil liberties in the face of terrorism? :shrug: Where do these people live?

[RevCheesehead]

27. in fallout shelters?

:shrug:

It's amazing how suddenly diverse the republican party becomes at these public events. But golly - mostly men, eh?

[Olney Blue]

30. The womenfolk are home cookin' dinner.

[RevCheesehead]

38. And makin' babies.

Hi, Olney! :hi:

[Gogi]

123. or crotchfruit.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

31. Si

pero solo hombres Mejicanos. :)

Do you think they were paid, or were they non-SAG actors?

[RevCheesehead]

36. Those questions were printed, right?

non-union, all the way. Amateurs.

[Berry Cool]

118. They live in the United States of America

and they are spoiled. Many of them have no conception of what it might be like to live in a country in which their civil liberties were not a basic right. They have taken them for granted for far too long. They will not realize what they have been lost as it is slowly but surely robbed from them little by little, day by day. They do not know that it is typical of totalitarian governments to claim justification for spying on their people in the name of protecting them.

A lot of people in the USA have a lot of realizing to do.

[gkhouston]

141. they aren't giving up THEIR civil liberties, Pats.

They're giving up other people's civil liberties. Betcha they'd sing a different tune if someone told 'em they'd been wiretapped.

[ralps]

7. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SharonRB]

9. Hi, ralps

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

11. Yay! James Bamford!

So cool. I hope the gov't approved of the hotels we stayed at in London and Paris. :)

[Patsy Stone]

20. These planted questions

are nauseating. Get that kid out of there! Isn't that child abuse?

Yay, Craig! :loveya:

[Botany]

40. pero el Presidente hablando espanol perfectemente

That phony bit with the Spanish :puke:

FUCK YOU bush you can't even speak English .......

hablar con amigo del arbusto ...

Hello

Hello

Where do you live?

I lived in Monterrey.

Funny Rove knew his boy was tanking and pulled the plug on the broadcast.

CNN announcer "We are going to the President's talk where he will take unscripted questions."

[Patsy Stone]

44. Uhh-LEEET-oe.

They all sounded like the Senator from The Godfather "Core-LEEE-Oh-Knee".

Si, el presidente hablando perfectamente. He's a bi-lingual liar.

[Botany]

47. It was like a middle school spanish class

Qué color es la bola?

What color is the ball

La bola es rojo y blanco.

There is no way that nitwit got through Yale & Harvard let alone won the Presidency.

And WTF is up with his slumping?

[Patsy Stone]

50. That thing he carries around

with the words in it weighs a lot. They had to move it from the middle of his back after the debate, so it must be in pocket.

Donde esta Susana? Susana esta en la cocina con Tia Luisa. :)

[Botany]

54. Rove killed the broadcast.

I was home and was loving it. It showed what a complete nitwit he is.

[SharonRB]

61. I wish I had seen it.

Sounds like it was pretty funny.

[Botany]

83. It was theater of the bazar.

I missed his speech but I saw the Q & A.

Something like Mr. President, thank you for stopping the terrorists from attacking us
and in the restrained manner you used the NSA to protect us. Are you going to prosecute the
leakers who put us all in danger?

bush Thank you for the ?.

[Berry Cool]

102. I LOVVVED Keith's snark on screening the people beforehand.

:rofl: Classic!

[Berry Cool]

119. What I wanna know is this

Why in the hell does he BOB around so much like a frigging boxer in the ring? Every time I see him bob up and down like that, I get the feeling of this guy who's nervous and stupid and doesn't know what the hell he is doing being President except that the other boys in his frat got him drunk and put him up to it as a prank.

[WolverineDG]

97. Si

el presidente es un mentiroso.

dg

[Berry Cool]

120. El presidente es muy loco!

And I say that without ever having studied Spanish!

[RevCheesehead]

21. Good for you, Keith! Slam those softball questions!

Looks like Craig :loveya: is wearing Keith's tie from last night.

Oh-oh. :wow:

[ralps]

23. Good Keith is covering *'s pre screened questions, & * just shouldn't try

to speak spanish. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Olney Blue]

24. I love this exposure of Chimp's FAUX town meeting.

Craig Crawford is my favorite guest!

[Botany]

dupe

[Botany]

51. CNN was helping * too

"And now we go to the President who will take unscripted questions."

Rove so pulled the plug on the broadcast .... I was loving it. It showed what a fake he is.

[Olney Blue]

60. How do you know that Rove pulled the plug?

Hi botany :hi:

[Botany]

66. Because both CNN & Fox dumped the broadcast .....

..... with at least 20 minutes to go to the hearings. Bush was looking real bad.

Both the ?s and answers were wooden.

[WolverineDG]

100. did they pull the plug

after they noticed the people asking questions were holding copies of the script? betcha rove screamed this to someone: damn non-union actors...can't trust 'em to learn their damn lines!

dg

[Botany]

107. i saw very little of the questioners

they were off camera but i did see some holding papers.

and the way CNN jumped out of the broadcast was weird.

Even after they cut the feed from Kentucky ...... the CNN media whore said,
"And that was President Bush taken unscripted questions."

Like what we just saw on the screen never happened.

[Patsy Stone]

126. She can tell you 'bout the plane crash

with a gleam in her eye...

[Botany]

134. Actually

She seemed real down ..... light skinned African American women on CNN.

Like she had to read the lie but her heart wasn't into. Hang on Buddy I think
the S.S. Bush is taking on water ...... I really don't see him finishing his term.

S.O.B. tapped millions of phones ......

[RevCheesehead]

32. Keith stole my line!!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=112049&mesg_id=112116

Note the time of post. :)

[Patsy Stone]

33. Good one!

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[SharonRB]

34. I thought it sounded familiar

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

105. I must say that once somebody cried, it was pretty predictable that

Mr. Baseball fan would say "There's no crying in..." :-)

[Patsy Stone]

35. Uh, oh... :)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2363119

[RevCheesehead]

42. Spoiler.

:P

[ralps]

41. But then that line was adapted from "A league of their own" Rev

"there's no crying in baseball" LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

46. Well, I typed it in Tom Hanks' voice...

:shrug:

[Berry Cool]

133. Does anyone else but me remember when George Voinovich was crying

over John Bolton...and Keith said "There's no CRYING in the Senate!"

[Patsy Stone]

135. You should post thoughts about that here. :)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=111708&mesg_id=111708

[CBHagman]

138. Did you get a load of Lindsey Graham (R-SC)?

He was also Tiny Tears today.

Okay, I shouldn't make fun of crying people, but I think ol' Lindsey needs to be dangled off the Bridge Over Troubled Pickens (a University of South Carolina reference). Say it with me, parents:
"I'll give you something to cry about."

[RevCheesehead]

139. I think that's why some people believe it was a set-up.

"Mean old democrats, making Mrs. Alito leave the room."
So reminiscent of the Cheneys, "This is not a good man." :eyes:

[CBHagman]

142. With all due respect, Reverend, Lynne Cheney...

...if I'm not mistaken, told John Kerry he was "a very bad man." It's called PROJECTION, Lynne.

But you're right about the MO -- lamenting the cruelty of the Democrats. :eyes: We've seen this all before. The Washingtonian once even depicted Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) in the old Captain Renault costume from Casablanca -- i.e., "I'm shocked, shocked!"

[RevCheesehead]

143. Have you seen this?

It's on the front page.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x115256

LOTS of people aren't buying it. :evilgrin:

[CBHagman]

144. Dearest James Wolcott!

Truly a man who lives by Alice Roosevelt Longworth's immortal words: If you have nothing nice to say about someone, come and sit by me. :evilgrin:

Seriously, though, James Wolcott has an excellent BS detector.

On edit: Crying Game. Now I'll have that song in my head all evening.

[Patsy Stone]

145. I hope that doesn't mean

that you've got a visual of Boy George in there too! :) Ooof.

:hi:

[Botany]

43. but you can have

[RevCheesehead]

48. Stephanie better look out...

because you are beginning to look positively delicious, Cuddles. :9

[Olney Blue]

37. Oops! Kennedy should have sent his letter "return receipt requested"

Was Arlen saying that the mail system sucks- just because
you send a letter, it doesn't mean it gets there......

[Patsy Stone]

39. That's Senate mail, p.s.

That's down the hall. No stamp required. :)

[Olney Blue]

45. Then there really is no excuse if it was an internal letter...

[ralps]

53. Good Night Everyone, Have a great day tomorrow.

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

55. Thanks, ralps

You too! :toast:

[SharonRB]

57. Good-night, ralps

[RevCheesehead]

64. Bye -

Be good! :hug:

[Olney Blue]

67. Have a nice evening, ralps.

:hi:

[Clark2008]

101. Tomorrow is my birthday.

So I'd BETTER have a great day. ;)

[Clark2008]

56. I have already explained to my 6-year-old, who also

lives in Tennessee and loves car video games, that if he does that shit, I'm wringing his little neck.

I'm glad no one was hurt, which is what makes it a funny story. ;)

[SharonRB]

59. Pretty amazing that he got home safely

without hurting anyone or himself along the way.

[Patsy Stone]

62. A barbed wire collection?

Because there really is someone out there collecting everything. :crazy:

And :loveya: for Motley Crue's "Live Wire", Countdown.

BTW, if you're reading this, Countdown, could you give us confirmation whether you buy extra long ties or not? Some kind of sign, that's all. Thanks.

[SharonRB]

65. And, after the break...

A story about men's ties -- regular or extra long.

[Berry Cool]

108. Uh, Patsela, are you asking Keith to send us CODED SIGNALS??????

Because if you are, please remind him to propose to me? Thanks.

:rofl: Just kiddin'. But really, wouldn't it be hilarious if Keith tried to communicate what length of tie he wears by doing the hand-spread thing...without trying to make it obvious..."Well, you see, it's THIS long..."



Uh, Keith, is that a tie you're describing or are you just happy to see us? :loveya:

(edited because this really deserved a photo)

[WolverineDG]

112. no, it's the joystick

from those new levi jeans...an idea they ripped off from the apprentice.

dg

[Berry Cool]

124. Did you hear about the new "anti-Christianity" jeans?

Some European designer came up with 'em. They have a logo of a cross upside down on a skull. Designer said he came up with them because he wanted to spread the message that Christianity is evil because so many evil things have been done in its name.

*SIGH*

I hope they never get sold here. I can't stand the thought of fundies having jeans bonfires.

[WolverineDG]

140. they're ugly-ass jeans too

as for home-grown fundies, i'm waiting for their "mr. ed is satanic" moment, when they get so ridiculous that everyone can see them for what they are: small-minded whiny relgious bigots who aren't happy unless they're the center of attention.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

129. No, no code required

Just a simple yes or no. :)

Hey, Berry! I thought I did hear him ask to marry you tonight. You didn't? Maybe I should call the cable guy and get that adjusted? Maybe I should listen to Led Zeppelin backwards?

[Berry Cool]

136. DID HE REALLY??????????

Drat! I THOUGHT I heard coded messages tonight, but the ones I heard were more like:

--"I buried Alex."
--"Turn me on, dead cat."
--"News Quiz is dead, miss it, miss it."
--"I hate these stories my producers make me cover."

And, of course, "Stig has been dead for ages, actually."

[Muffstser]

63. Hi, gang! I wonder if Keith will mention my new fave word:

"Truthiness!" Stephen Colbert did a whole riff on it being in the dictionary on Monday night's "Colbert Report."

[RevCheesehead]

68. I think we're about to find out.

Hi, Muff! :hi:

Oh, goodie - it's Perky Girl! :loveya:

[Muffstser]

72. He did it!!! Truthiness!

I love it.

[SharonRB]

70. It's #1!

[Muffstser]

73. K-FED! That is TOO funny.

There's a word I wish I didn't know.

[Muffstser]

69. MONICA!

Truthiness!!!

[Botany]

85. Perk A Licious!

notice how we don't see Witt anymore?

[Patsy Stone]

95. A blessing

Truly a blessing. Thanks, Countdown! :hi:

[Botany]

104. They (KO's staff) so read this thread.

Witless she had all the warmth of a bucket of dead trout.

Monica & Keith both seem like they really have a hard time from laughing.

[Patsy Stone]

71. Gidge!

Nice to see you! Muff, there you go!

[Muffstser]

74. JUMP THE COUCH!

Oh, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I made it home for this. :)

[Muffstser]

75. News Quiz Reference!

Oh, lordy, I miss them.

[Berry Cool]

110. Ah, you guys caught the reference too!

Yes, Keith and Monica! DO IT AGAIN!!!!!...er the News Quiz, I meant...

[Patsy Stone]

76. Almost a Newsquiz

and yes, you did used to do that. Do it again! Bring back the Newsquiz.

[SharonRB]

78. Yes, please, please, please

bring back the News Quiz.

[RevCheesehead]

77. "Crotch Fruit"

Bwahahahaha!!!!!!!! :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

115. how original

not....i don't see this catching on like yard apes, rug rats, ankle biters, & black-masked, curtain-climbin' candy bandits....

dg

[Berry Cool]

125. "Crotch fruit" won't last, but it is funny to hear.

I kinda liked it when people used to refer to other people's annoying offspring as "larvae."

[Muffstser]

79. Aw, Colin Farrell. I'm getting sentimental!

The first article I did for Jossip that got big attention was my blurb on Rita's interview with Colin Farrell's co-star. And wouldn't ya know...we got an exclusive on the whole thing today.

[Patsy Stone]

80. Whose worse than BIG GIANT HEAD and Robertson???

[Muffstser]

81. O'Reilly and Robertson in one worst person segment!

Oh, this is priceless.

[Berry Cool]

114. I still miss Grumpy Bill's Santa hat

but loved seeing him anyway.

Have you guys seen his latest rant, in which he has someone reinforcing his whole "War on Christmas" nonsense and saying he's right, it's those wicked lib'ruls fighting the war because most Christians are conservative Repugs? :puke:

[SharonRB]

82. Yeah, it's O'Liely again

AND Robertson!

and WHAT?

Prisoners should share beds? I LOVED Oz!

[Olney Blue]

84. Worst person in the world- O'Lielly and Robertson again!!

[SharonRB]

86. A little Pitt!

:rofl:

I wish they'd stop making him do these stories. There's too much real news.

[Patsy Stone]

87. Michael Musto!

"Of course, that's the first person I'd tell. I share all my secrets with an aid worker in the Domincan Republic." :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

88. They should name the baby Jesus!

Immaculate conception. If she is pregnant it's with the brother. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

90. What the hell was Michael rambling on about at the end there?

He made absolutely no sense.

[Berry Cool]

128. Yeah, he did sort of tail off there into weirdness

and I don't think Keith knew what to make of it (I sure wouldn't).

[Berry Cool]

127. Obviously Michael is under the, er, misconception

that "Immaculate Conception" refers to the virgin birth. Uh, no.

Wikipedia is your friend, Mr. Musto.

The Immaculate Conception is a Catholic dogma that asserts that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was preserved by God from the stain of original sin at the time of her own conception. Specifically, the dogma says she was not afflicted by the privation of sanctifying grace that afflicts mankind, but was instead filled with grace by God, and furthermore lived a life completely free from sin. It is commonly confused with the doctrine of the virgin birth, though the two deal with separate subjects. Mary was conceived by normal biological means, but her soul was acted upon by God (kept "immaculate") at the time of her conception.

Heck, I'm not even a Catholic, and I know that.

I feel as if I'm playing Religious Mythbuster here lately. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

137. I think he did it for the funny.

But you're right, he's wrong.

[Botany]

92. Baby Mama Drama

and crotch fruit.

:rofl:

"She hover over a runway."

[Patsy Stone]

89. How many bombshells Reeter?

How many??? Go back to NY! Go, vamos, scoot, skeedaddle, I-95 North waits for you...

[SharonRB]

91. I shut the TV off as fast as I could.

[Berry Cool]

130. You were not the only one racing to snap off the TV.

Skeeter has been on that damn cruise-ship missing groom thing for how many nights now?

[WolverineDG]

106. is she STILL in miami, pats?

oh man, here :hug: and you may need some more of these:



with sympathies,
dg

[Patsy Stone]

132. You know

I don't really know, because I turned it off so fast. But if she is, I'm gonna need that. Thanks!

:hi:

[bleever]

93. Some good colors?

[Patsy Stone]

94. Lovely

But it has to go with goose-shit brown. :hi:

[bleever]

103. Hold this pic next to the one in the OP.

Not that I wear ties. But I like pretty colors.

:)

[RevCheesehead]

96. I kind of like that one.

I've been too afraid to mosey over to the tie thread. It's nearly over 100 posts - in ONE DAY! :scared:

Hiya, bleev. :hi:

[bleever]

109. A hunnert posts!

:scared:


Greater minds than mine are at work on this, and for that I am glad.

[RevCheesehead]

113. Bleev, do you even own a tie?

For tie-wearing purposes, that is.

[WolverineDG]

116. or even for non-wearing purposes??

enquiring minds want to know.... ;)

dg

[bleever]

117. Ladies, please: of course I own ties.

A couple were purchased as recently as 22 years ago.

Are they in style again yet?

[Patsy Stone]

122. That means

they're in again, again. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

131. I have to admit, I too am overwhelmed by tie possibilities.

It's all too much for me...
