KOEB Meeting -- 5/2/06: I Guess He'll Be Back On DU's Good Side Edition

[Patsy Stone]

Leading with Plame and Iran. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

1. Hi, Patsela

Great opening story.

I guess the new front page explains why DU has been so slow today and last night.

[Patsy Stone]

3. Some react slowly and poorly to change.

Hi, Sharon. I should have returned your message, and I didn't, and I'm sorry. I just adored those pictures of you and DG and Randi.

How's things on your first day back?

[SharonRB]

13. It's okay -- I figured you and hubby were out for the evening

BunBun called me and was able to answer the question I asked you.

First day back was crazy busy -- and it ain't getting better anytime soon.

[Berry Cool]

2. Well, I certainly hope DU has forgiven him all his sins. Jeez!

Look at what he's doing now. If this doesn't take guts, I don't know what does.

:hi: Pats and all!

[Patsy Stone]

5. I said in another thread

that last night was a slow news night. So everyone decided to argue just to argue. :crazy: I usually hide in the kitchen when the pies start flying. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

108. So you thought it was pies that were being flung last night, eh?

In that case, they must have all been chocolate cream pies, because what I saw being slung around looked pretty sloppy and brown.

Then again, it didn't smell much like chocolate. :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

110. Cow pies?

And just wait until the I'm for Kerry/I'm for Feingold/I'm for Clark/I'm for Kucinich/Hillary Sucks! threads get going. We eat our own -- it's a fact.

[Olney Blue]

29. What's up with DU? People are leaving because of flaming

and Keith gets flamed for something Dana Milbank said. :wtf:

[Clark2008]

4. I had no problem with him last night.

He asked a question and Milbank - yes MILBANK - fudged it.

All Keith did was ask.

:hi: all!

[Berry Cool]

6. "If he could get somebody on four counts of being dumb...

...there would have been indictments already."

:rofl:

Have I told you lately that I :loveya:, Keith?

[Patsy Stone]

7. Dont'choo know???

It was the EVIL CORPORATE MEDIA!!! :rofl:

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

10. Looking back, I think you called it right, Clark.

Dana was the wrong guy to have on there. Uck.

[ralps]

8. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone, my photo website is loading really slowly, so I

hope my smilies show up. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

17. All present and accounted for

I think. :) Hi, ralps!

[ralps]

19. Yep they are, It just seemed to take a minute or so for the photobucket

page to show up??? :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Greylyn58]

9. Evening All

Keith comes out swinging with the Plame story. :yourock: Keith

:hi: Patsy and :hi: to my fellow KOEBers!!! :grouphug:

[Patsy Stone]

12. Hi, Grey!

Yep and he's following it with the Abramoff story and I think he said "President's butt" too. :)

[bleever]

11. Some RW radio guy on Lou Dobbs was putting down Colbert

by saying that he looked and sounded just like Keith Olbermann...

Oh! Snap!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

14. Ooh...

Harsh! :rofl:

Look at all the lovely Abramoff records. Yay!

[Clark2008]

20. And that's bad?

Maybe the wingnut is just jealous he's not a smart hunk.

[bleever]

31. He looked kinda like George Allen.

Even as a man, I feel qualified to issue judgment: Ick!

:rofl:


:hi: Clark!

[Olney Blue]

68. I loathe George Allen.

:hi: Hi bleever

[bleever]

73. Didja see his high school senior picture?

He had a confederate flag pin -- years before moving to the south, when he lived in southern Cal.

What a jerk.

:hi: Olney!

[Olney Blue]

82. Yes, I saw that! Did you post that on DU?

[Clark2008]

76. Well, "smart" and "hunk" are certainly the complete

opposite of George Allen.

:hi: Bleev!

[WolverineDG]

26. And that's a bad thing?

:shrug:

What a moran.

dg

[bleever]

34. I think the guy thought he was making a joke.

He was the only one.

:)

:hi: Wolvie!

[bleever]

15. Abramoff had 200 meetings in 10 months?? That's every single business day.

Not that chimpy works that much.

[Patsy Stone]

21. Seems you're not the only one to have done the math.

Oy.

[bleever]

37. Keef's staff TOTALLY read my post into his earpiece!

Where's the "I Rock" icon when you need it?

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

41. Here:

:yourock:

[bleever]

54. Please, please:

stay behind the velvet rope.


:)

[bettyellen]

59. ROFL

:hi:

[bleever]

69. Hi BE.

How be you?

:hi:

[bettyellen]

74. a little under the weather, BLE it's allergies i think...

both me and my Caindy cat are coughing and have itchy water eyes!
i'm glad i was well enough to have a great saturday with the girls in ny. ;)

[SharonRB]

77. So are we!

[Patsy Stone]

86. Will you sign?

[WolverineDG]

96. Here

:yourock:

dg

[WolverineDG]

32. He works 24/7

24 weeks a year, 7 days a month.

dg

[Botany]

39. Abramoff = Ney = HAVA = Bush = Corruption = Diebold = Stolen elections

200 times in ten months .... lot of meetings for somebody bush didn't even know.

Bush, "I don't know him I guess I had some pictures taken with him but I don't
remember ..... I have my picture taken with lots of people."

May is going to suck for bush.

[Patsy Stone]

42. How'd the elections go today?

Any "glitches"?

[Botany]

56. tons

I didn't vote because ..... I the women I helping for congress in unopposed and
nothing in my area is in doubt ..... I also didn't want to go say I was a dem in the
primary to help blackwell and the repugs purge me in the fall or cancel my vote.

But I have heard reports from all over the state of "glitches"

[Patsy Stone]

101. Oh, no

that's bad news. I'll be interested to hear about Mean Jean's results. I understand that I'm supposed to want her to win. So, if I have to, I'll root for her. :puke:

[Gogi]

116. Did'nt you hear about the 'voter rage' incident.

A man went ballistic and destroyed a Diebold machine at his voting place. The police arrested him.

[bleever]

50. Or, at the * White House, EVERY day is Hannukah!

365 crazy nights!

[RevCheesehead]

57. Is that where they got the 1,000 points of light?

:7

[Botany]

61. did I ever tell you that you are my Fav EDV?

[RevCheesehead]

65. Aww, Cuddles...

I :loveya: ya!

How did Ms. Stephanie do tonight?

[gkhouston]

117. originally supposed to be 7

but they bought the menorah in Gahanna. (No relation to Gahenna, honest. ;-))

Thank you, I'll be here all week. :hi:

[ralps]

16. Cool!!! Abramoff's WH visits could be in the 100's

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

[RevCheesehead]

18. Who has the freshly-mown lawn in the KOEB?

That's right - it's ME!! :woohoo:
I did the front and sides, and am not even winded. Also, freshly showered and squeaky-clean! :7

Hi, y'all! :hi:


Keith: :loveya::loveya::loveya:

[ralps]

22. Hi RevCheesehead, my you've been busy today!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

30. Got it done right in time, too....

Now the fog is rolling in. Golly, I feel good! :)

[Patsy Stone]

24. Spring is a glorious thing.

Except here, where it's summer. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

33. That's why all your neighbors are returning here.

Does it get lonely in the summer? :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

49. It becomes a sleepy beach town

and there's a lot less traffic. Me likey! But I do miss the different seasons. We have the wet season and the dry season.

[gkhouston]

118. we have

mosquito and non-mosquito. Guess which is longer. :7

[bleever]

25. Please tell me

you're not talking about a "Brazilian".


:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

38. Bleever!

:spank: You have a dirty, dirty mind.
(I like that about you! ;) )

Grass. Yardwork. First cut of the year, as the leaves are finally beginning to burst forth. It cost me almost $7 to fill the gas can. Oy.

[bleever]

46. Here, let me make it up to you:

[RevCheesehead]

48. Oh, baby!!

Now THAT'S a lawn-boy!!! :loveya:

[bleever]

62. He could be your pool boy too:

[RevCheesehead]

67. Oh. My. God.

That's going in the folder of Pool Pics!! :bounce::bounce:

[Clark2008]

27. Ahhhh.... I miss mowing (NOT!)

Gav took over that much-hated chore when he moved in. I did it the other day, though. It was nice and cool and I wanted the exercise.

:hi: Rev! How you doin'? :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

40. I need a Gav.

Does he have a brother? :hug:

[Olney Blue]

23. Hi Patsy and everyone!

Happy Tuesday

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

75. Happy Tuesday to you, Olney.

How's things?

[Olney Blue]

80. Pretty busy at work, but OK. I gave a transcript of Colbert's speech

to my 73 year old boss today. He loved it!

[Patsy Stone]

88. It was genius

I downloaded it and I've watched it several times. I sympathize with busy: too much work, too little time.

[Olney Blue]

97. I don't know how he wrote something so perfect.

I've read the transcript over and over after watching him on CSPAN two times over the weekend.

[gkhouston]

119. where did you download it from?

I've only seen it as-is. I'd like to grab a copy for keeps.

[Patsy Stone]

125. From here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1076310&mesg_id=1076329

Enjoy!

[gkhouston]

126. Got it; thanks. n/t

[WolverineDG]

28. Hi Pats!

:hi:

He's going after Plame & Abramoff & he's wearing the Tiggr tie too!! :loveya:

Hope this satisifies the DU DQs. :eyes:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

35. For a minute

they might be happy. They do love to do "Les Miserables", though. :hi:

He's hitting all the high (low) points, tonight. And it seems that he's going to talk about Colbert again. Not sure if that's good or bad. :)

[WolverineDG]

43. Ok, then

I'll put us on DU DQ pre-alert, just in case. ;)

dg

[ralps]

36. Awwww Poor Georgie didn't get the bounce he hoped for after shuffling

the deck chairs in the Hindenberg!!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

44. That was a great joke. n/t

[Botany]

45. He is going to be in the 20s by June.

Wait till the Abramoff logs come out.

He is at 32% now ...... I predict 28% by 6/15

[Olney Blue]

52. The only bounce is your big group hugs smiley!

Hi ralps! How are you?

:hi:

[ralps]

71. Hi Olney Blue, I'm doing good, How are you?

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

[Olney Blue]

85. I'm fine, and looking forward to Rove's frog march.

[Patsy Stone]

100. A celebration

like DU has never seen. It will be one of the best days in history. I may just have to leave work early on that day to honor its magnificence.

[crispini]

47. Hi folks, just got here.

Wow, I guess I missed a great first half eh? Wowie!

[Patsy Stone]

53. Hi, crispini!

Yep, he's in fine form this evening.

[crispini]

58. LOL! Hi Patsela!

How you doin? :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

63. Can't complain

Oh, sure, I could be in vacation in Napa, but other than that, I'm doing very well. You? How's your mom?

[crispini]

81. She's better! She hasn't had to have a procedure again.

(Knock on wood.) And I'm feeling faboo 'cause I went to see the acupuncturist for my back after work. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... And my new client is SANE! :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

95. What a wonderful report!

That's great news about your mom. :woohoo:

Whatever became of the new bosses/company? I hope that worked itself out.

[crispini]

102. Ah, that's an ongoing drama.

But I suppose life is never going to be completely drama free, LOL! :D

[Berry Cool]

109. Warning:

Be sure to keep the Crispini well away from the falafel dip.

That is all.

[bleever]

113. Good god.

If you really need to warn her, she is lost to us.


:rofl:

[crispini]

114. Hee hee hee hee hee.

Not at all tempted by the falafel. :rofl:

[Olney Blue]

66. Hi Crispini

:hi:

[crispini]

83. Hi Olney!

Good to see you! :hi: How's life?

[Olney Blue]

87. I'm good, thanks! I can't complain.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

51. Hurray for "Yakkity Sax" !!

:bounce::woohoo::bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

55. Their new most favoritest song. :)

[RevCheesehead]

60. Them crazy Brits.

But I still picture Silvio when I hear it now! :D

[Berry Cool]

104. I'm glad they found another way to use that music!

Did you hear that Berlusconi resigned? I'm sorta glad Keith didn't cover it because he might have used it as an excuse to whip out that video again!

[gkhouston]

120. alluding to that video

and using the phrase "whip out"... ill-considered juxtaposition, I'd say. :7

[ralps]

64. Wow!!! John Daly has lost between 50 & 60 million dollars gambling!!!

IMO He needs Rehab badly!!! I seem to remember that he also was an alcoholic, so he just switched addictions. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :wow: :shrug:

[gkhouston]

121. no kidding

somebody needs to make this guy a 12-step addict instead. 'Twould probably be healthier.

[RevCheesehead]

127. Like Stuart Smalley?

[bettyellen]

70. driveby hello + loveya ladies!

:hi:
:loveya:

[SharonRB]

72. Hey, be

How's it going?

[bettyellen]

78. i feel a little bleech. i think it;s allergies but i've been coughing

and my eyes are itchy too as well as the sinus. my kitty is just as bad.
we're a couple of head cases, i guess.
i'm sorry i messed up that lovely picture! what the hell was i doing? crop me outta there, quick!

[Clark2008]

79. Carry on my wayward son!

Tribute to Colbert!

:rofl:

Keith "got it," afterall - now let other DUers know it. I never doubted it. :7

[RevCheesehead]

84. Perfect music choice!

:rofl:

I think if people will just relax and listen to Keith, they might hear something other than a hidden agenda. :)

[Berry Cool]

105. I think tonight's Colbert clip, combined with the music chosen for it,

says all that needs to be said about where Countdown stands on it in general.

They didn't bury the speech like so much of the rest of the media. They even showed part of it again tonight. And "Carry On My Wayward Son"? Stroke of genius.

:loveya: Keith.

I feel better now.

[RevCheesehead]

111. I'm listening to Snarlboro now....

and the tone is completely different. Seriously, DU needs an enema. :freak:

[bettyellen]

94. oh, i missed it.

;(

[Patsy Stone]

103. That was great!

So perfect. They were just bored out there last night. And, as the Rev. so wisely pointed out, some were just freepers. You know how it gets when they have nothing to talk about. :)

[gkhouston]

122. the current tally of 1000+ count posters

whom I suspect of residing underneath bridges is truly amazing.

[RevCheesehead]

128. No wonder it's called the Gorge of Eternal Peril.

[gkhouston]

131. and what is YOUR favorite color? :-)

[RevCheesehead]

133. Blue...... no, Green!

Aaaahhhhhhhh!

[Patsy Stone]

134. So true

Wouldn't it be nice if they got a life?

[ralps]

89. Oops MI3 stunt goes wrong!!! & Tom Cruise's career goes up in flames!!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

90. #2 story - Tom Cruise is an idiot.

What a waste of valuable air time. :(

[Berry Cool]

106. You know, it occurred to me that I don't know what O'Reilly is

crying about.

If Keith is "cruisin'" for a feud with anyone, it would seem to be Tom You-Know-Who.

[Patsy Stone]

112. Or: K-Fed! n/t

[gkhouston]

123. so we can stop talking about him now?

Right, Keith? RIGHT????

[RevCheesehead]

129. I hope and pray, GK.

Last night, as I was watching the repeat, I turned it off after the #3 story. *sigh*

[bettyellen]

91. did i miss the colbert thing?

bwaaah!

[ralps]

93. The Colbert segment was the #1 soundbite at around the half way mark of

the program. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[bettyellen]

99. tks so much, ralps!

[ralps]

92. Today's Worst person in the world is.... Laura Ingram(sp?) for dissing

all the news programs. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

107. And didn't Keith have a great time imitating her gravelly voice, too!

I thought "Yeah, go Keith! Revenge on an ex-date! Go!"

The only thing he didn't do (which was kind of disappointing) is add Bill-O's comment on the whole affair, which was to say that any MSNBC poll means nothing anyway, because "MSNBC only has ten viewers."

Well, as one of the ten, I would like to lodge a protest that we don't count.

[CBHagman]

115. WPIW Laura Ingraham...

You'd think she would learn from Coulter and O'Reilly to put a sock in it, but noooo.

Hi, ralps! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

98. I think these Sopranos actors

are really just honing their method acting skills.

[gkhouston]

124. what was with Lawrence O'Donnell last night?

I felt like he'd been run over by the Stupid Truck. Saying that it doesn't look good for the Wilsons to have attended the Correspondents' Dinner or had their pictures in Vanity Fair because that makes it look like hey, their lives weren't such a big secret after all... HELLO?!? Those things happened after her cover was blown to hell and gone. :crazy:

[RevCheesehead]

130. Did you also notice....

he was no longer mentioned as a correspondent for the Boston paper? I was kinda surprised by that.

[gkhouston]

132. I noticed

that he was pushing the "they're incompetent, not evil" line pretty hard, so much so that I found myself wondering if he were being paid to voice that opinion. Mind you, it could be that that Bush et al were simply short-sighted and misogynistic but I don't see why that hypothesis should be given credence as the only possible explanation.
