KOEB Meeting: 08/09/06 -- "Okay, I'll start this." Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:

[bunny planet]

1. Yo Pats, I made it two nights in a row!!!

Yeah, ding dong Mo Fo Joe must go.

[SharonRB]

39. Hi, BunBun

Guess I missed you last night.

I did watch the show, but I was at Nancy's office with the staff waiting to hear returns.

[ralps]

2. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone, The Republicans use the Cut & Run Meme Again! LOL

It's not gonna work this time Tony Snow Et al :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

31. That's old and tired

as is the whole plan they've got for the campaign.

:hi:, ralps!

[bunny planet]

3. Yes, someone from the WaPo besides lil' Dana Milbank

Thank Gawd.

[spooky3]

5. A VERY refreshing change, wasn't it?

:hi: everyone!

[bunny planet]

14. most def.

And Joe Trippi makes his first Countdown appearance.
Not that I'm all that fond of Democratic Strategists of the past or future.

[SharonRB]

43. Joe is helping with Nancy's campaign

Someone from his firm is here as her campaign manager and Joe is doing some PR stuff, I think.

[Patsy Stone]

45. Really?

Nice!

Hi, Shar! Missed you!

[SharonRB]

60. You, too Pats

:hi:

[bunny planet]

47. Cool, he's one of the good ones.

Hi Sha-sha.
:hi:

[bunny planet]

4. but take him off the committees anyway.

Its so freaking symbolic.
He deserves the embarrassment.

[Greylyn58]

6. Howdy All

Should be an interesting show tonight. Lieberman presented his true colors last night didn't he.

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

[bunny planet]

7. Gosh, Al looked so young in 2000.

Sigh! He's been through it and back, as we all have.

[bunny planet]

8. Liebertoast, and I don't mean raise a glass to him either.

[bunny planet]

9. Yes, Ned the Giantkiller.

I have never even heard of another Ned other than Nancy Drew's boyfriend but now I'm a Nedhead.

[Patsy Stone]

13. Ned Flanders!

:hi:, bunny!

[bunny planet]

15. you got me, of course.

Hiya Patsela.

[Patsy Stone]

10. And Rove reached out to Joe...

:puke:

Hi, all! At least it's Annie Leibowitz with the Suri Cruise photos. At least it's not Anne Geddes with the babies in the flowers and vegetables.

[bunny planet]

18. Annie Leibowitz took the Suri photos. Not too shabby.

Oy, Anne Geddes, do you know how many babies are screaming and sobbing before she shoots the one that is the print take. Don't ask. Poor babies, suffering for her art.

[Patsy Stone]

33. Suffering

for her greeting cards!

The fact that they want NoJoe to come play with the Republicans, and the way they seem to want to make him the poster boy for a kinder, gentler Republican party, tells me they are completely desperate. Yay!

[bunny planet]

44. I do worry that they love the spoiler elections because it makes it easier

for them to hide the stealing. That's why they are bankrolling the Green candidate in PA. Everyone knows Man on Dog doesn't have a shot at winning, but if they throw in a Naderesque third party they can steal more effectively and blame it on the spoiler effect. Lieberschmo is just dastardly enough to want revenge so much, he'd be willing to help them with their efforts to finish Lamont.

[bunny planet]

21. Yes, Lieberschmo really has lots of great folks shilling for him

Let's see, O'Reilly, Coulter, and now the Pillsbury Roveboy. Can't say Joe doesn't know good publicity. Geesh.

[Berry Cool]

103. I'm just so glad Joe got toasted.

So may all candidates go who support the war! I truly hope this result has a chilling effect on them ALL. As Brian Wilson once said, "Wouldn't it be nice??"

[ralps]

11. If the White House comes out & supports Joe IMO That would be the Kiss

of Death for Joe!!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[spooky3]

12. Trippi's tellin' it like it is!

[WolverineDG]

20. I watched the tail end of Hardball

Tweety kept trying to get Mehlmann to endorse the Republican candidate for Senator BY NAME & he REFUSED!! He kept weaving around the issue "I'd tell a big contributor to give the money to ME because the RNC needs it!" Follow-up along the lines of spending it on the Republican candidate "We'll spend it where it's most needed." He did however, endorse DeWine in Ohio.

I wonder why they're dumping their own candidate for Senate? Where is the money for Loserman's campaign going to come from? :think:

dg

[ralps]

24. I guess Joe will need to get money for his campaign from somewhere??

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

35. Did he try to get Mehlman to endorse Katherine Harris?

That would have been funny.

Keith said "kitties!"

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

105. That would have been classic!

But no, they were just talking about Connecticut & Ohio.

:hi:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

16. Joe Trippi looks great!

They should have him on the news shows more often. I'd much rather hear what he has to say than Bob "I'm a LOSER!" Shrum.

[bunny planet]

34. Didn't Trippi have a falling out with Dean though. or is that just

more Repuke noise machine stuff. In general, I'm just not crazy about political consultants of late, they give really bad advice, still collect a paycheck while their candidates lose. Trippi doesn' bother me, but don't get me started on Shrum and Donna Brazile.

[ralps]

17. LOL I guess Coultergeist has been found lying again!!!

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

[bleever]

19. Hell no, Joe won't go!

Franken was asking for new Lieberman slogans today, and I tried to get through with and offer that one.

The best one that got on the air was "Lieberman, party of one!" spoken in a maitre d's voice.

:hi:

[spooky3]

27. check out this "party of one" website:

http://ctforlieberman.com/

[Patsy Stone]

37. That's a riot!

:hi:, spooky!

[bleever]

53. I saw that too -- very funny.

:hi:

[spooky3]

57. hi, bleever and Patsy!

[Patsy Stone]

30. I like that!

Actually, both of them.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

48. I heard that guy

Al really liked that one. The guy has it on his blog.

[WolverineDG]

22. Hola everyone!

Aw, did shrubbie & condi have a lovers' spat? waaaah.

:hi: Pats!!

on edit: everytime I hear "Lamont," I think of this:



dg

[RevCheesehead]

32. Every time I hear Lamont, I think of this:

[ralps]

38. Hi RevCheesehead, How are you all doing?

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

[RevCheesehead]

41. Hi ralps

I have a splitting headache that's lasted all afternoon - even through my 2 hour nap. x(

Cats are on their own tonight, until I feel better.

[Patsy Stone]

40. You jive turkey!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

59. Thanks for not going for the obvious cheap shot!

[bleever]

97. "Who you callin' Dummy, Dummy?"

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

99. Watch it, sucka!

[WolverineDG]

109. True story

I was once on a flight with the actress who played "Aunt Esther." Our flight was delayed a bit, so she got up & did some "Aunt Esther" bits, like telling the pilot to get the damn plane in the air! :rofl:

This was waaaaay before 9/11. I'm sure the air marshalls would have shot her.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

113. Oh, man - I would have LOVED to be on that plane!!!

"Get in the air, you HEATHEN!!" :rofl:

[bunny planet]

121. that is a freaking scream dg.

Great story.

[bleever]

123. Great story.

:rofl:

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

124. Hey Bleev!!

:hi:

Are you really "bleevin'" now? I am!

dg

[bleever]

131. Eye bleev eye yam.

I also believe the Repugs are scared shitless.

And: I believe that if they keep trying to paint the anti-war folks as "left wing extremists", they are divorcing themselves from the sixty fuckin' percent of people fed up with the war, and the seventy fuckin' percent who disapprove of this "president".

[Patsy Stone]

136. Isn't that 70% just the lunatic fringe, though?

I thought for sure I'd heard that on Bill-o.

[bleever]

140. Apparantly,

the mainstream is needle thin these days.

"Mainlining" the kool-aid?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

141. Swimming in it.

Drinking to quench an unquenchable thirst.

[bleever]

142. All good thirsts

can be quenched.

Desiring total world domination: not so much.


Best to want things that exist in the real world.

[WolverineDG]

144. That's because they have made the fatal mistake

of believing their own press releases. Couldn't happen to nicer assholes.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

126. Yay!

Great story!

[Berry Cool]

98. OK, I can't resist anymore.

(after my belated :hi:)

"Whaddaya think I am, DUMB or somethin'????"

[RevCheesehead]

100. Berry!

Did you fall asleep on the Bay Air again? :hi:

[WolverineDG]

110. "The Party of the First Part" (pause)

"That's me."

:hi:

dg

[bunny planet]

119. ok, now that's funny.

I'm coming Elizabeth. I'm coming.

[RevCheesehead]

120. Um.....

That's "I'm coming to join you, honey."

:rofl:

Forgive me - my mind is in the gutter tonite. :evilgrin:

[bunny planet]

122. I think the third one was I'm coming to join you.....

Who's got a Grady pic.

[Patsy Stone]

130. Here ya go:

[bunny planet]

132. I knew if anybody had the pic it'd be you doll.

What about Rollo?

[Patsy Stone]

134. I think you're pushing it. :)

How about Gregory Sierra?

[bunny planet]

23. Condi's mad at the Pretzeldent.

Oopsy.

[Patsy Stone]

42. She looked all pouty.

Poor evil Condi.

[bunny planet]

46. How can you tell when she's pouty?

She always has lizard face to me.

[Patsy Stone]

54. The corners of her lizard mouth

were lower than usual.

[bunny planet]

58. right.

[WolverineDG]

111. Poor Condi

A fight with Lover Boy & no sale at Ferragamo's. :cry:

dg

[bleever]

125. Time to hit the Haagen Dazs

and then three hours of penance on the Stairmaster.

[bunny planet]

25. Say I just noticed Keef's suit and tie tonight

Very nice.

I never believe these stories about rifts, they are just trying to distance her from him and make her look Sec State like, meanwhile she's learning on the job, and she SUCKS at it.

[bunny planet]

26. oh, French bashing, how original.

I heard French fries were back on the menu.

[spooky3]

Mediamatters: Allen "stitched together Rep. talking points"

http://mediamatters.org/items/200608090014

[bunny planet]

29. pretty much.

[Berry Cool]

101. And Keith wore the French cuffs again tonight

I don't think he's ever called them "freedom cuffs."

Then again, compared to what Crispi wants to use on him, they ARE "freedom cuffs."

[RevCheesehead]

102. *snork*

:rofl:

[bunny planet]

28. Rice Peel Off

Hysterical, You miss a lot when your typing, I just looked up and saw that.

[Patsy Stone]

50. I miss so much of the show

I'm a very bad typist. :)

There was someone we met in NYC at the bar who said they edited so many posts, they wanted to change their signature to "Edited by..."

That's like me.

[bunny planet]

61. I am pretty bad too. My friend Lizzie would get the spelling and comma

police out after me and smack me over the head with her copy of Eats Shoots and Leaves.

[bleever]

62. Damn, I missed that too.

Too many distractions.

[SharonRB]

36. Hi, all!

For some reason my laptop isn't connecting to the Internets. Hubby is trying to fix it, so I'm back in the other room on the desktop.

How is everyone tonight?

[RevCheesehead]

64. Hi Sharon!

Who on earth would name their pig "Pork Chop"? :D

[Berry Cool]

104. Rev, you would ask that after Shari Lewis named her lamb puppet

...well, YOU know????

Don't knock that poor lamb! She's inspired many a blogger and mentally unstable fan in her day.

[RevCheesehead]

116. roflmao!!!

:rofl:

no, really - I'm :rofl: so much I'm :cry:!!

[bunny planet]

49. Hey, I talked to Crispi today. She's in the Big Apple.

She's just so darn cute with that laugh.
Hi Crispy, are you reading this????

[RevCheesehead]

66. Ah, back in her element!

Are you sure you wanted to tip off Keith?

:hi:

[bunny planet]

68. Aww, he wouldn't be able to resist her.

Besides she's probably at a Broadway show, nowhere near Secaucus.

[RevCheesehead]

71. I thought for sure she'd be at the fuzzy handcuffs store.

I guess she wore them out with George of the Waterfall. :evilgrin:

[bunny planet]

72. shhhhhhhooosh

you will ruin the element of surprise.

[RevCheesehead]

73. OK, let me edit.

[bunny planet]

51. that was an old picture of Coultergeist.

She looked pretty good, must have been just after the final post op.

[rusty charly]

52. meaning of coultergeist's eyepatch?

[RevCheesehead]

67. She wants to be like Bleever.

Hell, she wants Bleever! :scared:

[bunny planet]

55. Minute I heard him mention evolution, I knew he was heading for that

Adam's apple joke. Quelle segueway Keef.
Bravo.

[Berry Cool]

106. I try to avoid drinking liquids during Keith

lest I choke on my spit-take.

Tonight was another of those nights.

[bunny planet]

56. Somebody buy the bitch a different color dress please.

Red would be appropriate (vampire).

[Patsy Stone]

70. On Chris Matthews' show out in "Hardball Plaza"

she was also in black. I think it makes her look more undead, and that's a good thing.

[Patsy Stone]

63. Poor Rosie!

OMG! I thought no one had it as bad as Bill-O's staff.

Nancy Nostrils is nuts! :crazy:

[WolverineDG]

114. Nancy Grace's real name:

Miranda Priestly.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

127. LOL!

I wanted that book to be so much better. :(

[WolverineDG]

143. I wanted Miranda

to really get what she deserved for treating people like crap. I really hated it when Ahn-dre-ah started sympathizing with her. :eyes:

dg

[bunny planet]

65. oh Cynthia, please don't butcher my favorite Pink song.

[RevCheesehead]

69. I must say, Keith does look delicious tonight.

But what's with his infatuation with this particular tie?
Gift from Mom?

Keith: :loveya:, but would :loveya: more if you tried the Garcia. The tie, not the ice cream.

[Patsy Stone]

74. And the Garcia would have been apropos

It's the anniversary of Jerry's death.

It's the best use of this tie yet, that's for sure.

[RevCheesehead]

77. I coulda sworn I saw Brian Williams wearing our tie last night.

On Jon's show. But then I blinked, and it morphed into something else.

Thanks for ruining the tie biz, f-ing sockpuppet! :grr:

[Berry Cool]

96. Actually, I coulda SWORN David Brock was wearing our Bocara!

And when he speaks on Coultergeist, he should know. Coultergeist and Laura Ingraham used to be his "fag hags," as he himself said, back when he was a Rethug. If you haven't yet read his book Blinded by the Right, you really should!

[bunny planet]

118. I have, and I remember that Anne was DB's buddy.

That book is being sent to my neocon sister in law someday. She's still not in a place to hear any of it, but she will be.
I'm also sending her 'The Hunting of the President', 'What's the Matter with Kansas.' and that one about the tax system in this country ripping her off blind and her not even realizing it, I think its called 'Nickle and Dimed'.

[WolverineDG]

115. He wears it because he loves me

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

:rofl:

It does go with that suit & shirt though.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

75. That's right Paul and Heather

hired the lawyers used by Prince Charles and Diana. Too funny.

[bunny planet]

80. Heather met that man at just the right time. Seems he had his guard down.

She put a spell on him.
I think its broken now.

[bunny planet]

76. Here in Amerika, its phone tapping politicians, celebrities

and your librarian, gardener, teacher, babysitter, well, you know, just about everyone. Equal opportunity snooping.

[bunny planet]

78. Trouble in Brangelinaville. Say it ain't so.

And just when Vaughiston has gotten engaged. Jenn, there's still a chance he'll take you back. Quick ditch VV.

[Patsy Stone]

82. No!

I :loveya: Vince!

[bunny planet]

92. So do I.

Swingers is in my top 10, or at least my top 50.
He's so much better for Jen than Mr. Sexiest man alive.
But ask me if I care.

[Patsy Stone]

133. Me either.

But I adore Swingers. Also one of the best soundtrack albums ever.

In fact, it's on right now -- on Encore.

"Okay, now what, Mr. Double-Down?"

[SharonRB]

I think I heard a couple of days ago that she had broken up with Vince

[bunny planet]

94. no engaged to him instead.

I think you heard it on Countdown and Keef is messing with us. After all if these producers are going to force him to cover these stories, he's going to shake it up a little.

[SharonRB]

95. No, I heard it on the radio

Might have been Stephie's show.

[bunny planet]

108. oh yeah, I do remember Steph mentioning it.

[RevCheesehead]

79. So tonight's "worst people" are all brain-dead candidates?

I mean, more than usual?

[Patsy Stone]

81. To the celebrity Pu-Pu Platter

and there's a lot of poo on there...

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

83. Heads-up for Randi on Larry King tonight

She's going to debate Neil Boortz. Should be fun!

[Patsy Stone]

85. Great!

Thanks for the heads up!

[SharonRB]

90. Just saw it on another thread

[Patsy Stone]

84. "You cling to the idea that there is no baby?"

"There is, but it's a pillow."

[RevCheesehead]

88. Purple tie on red shirt?

Michael, ouch! x(

[Patsy Stone]

128. I've given up on

wondering what Michael's wearing. I brace myself for the worst 1978 had to offer. :)

But, I love him just the same.

[RevCheesehead]

129. Spandex and platform shoes?

oy gevalt!

[Patsy Stone]

135. Maybe on Saturday night?

I meant more junior high, debate team, Spring Dance, 1978.

[RevCheesehead]

137. Hey, I was a h.s. sophomore then.

That *was* Saturday night! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

139. You debated on Saturday night?

In spandex?

Nah, I meant the plaid shirts and knitted ties. Desert boots and, I wouldn't doubt, corduroys. Geeks with 3x5 cards. He's still wearing the Annie Hall glasses, why wouldn't he be wearing the rest of the outfit?

Queer Eye for the Queer Guy, here we come!

[Patsy Stone]

86. Did Keith just do a "spit-take"?

During Michael's bit?

[bunny planet]

87. Suri exists La Dolce Musto. Tom just had to have a better picture with

Leibowitz as the photographer, had to out shine the Shiloh Pitt People cover and the wax Shiloh at Madame T's.
Such competitiveness among the glitteratti. So freaking silly.

[bunny planet]

89. LA DOLCE MUSTO.

He went for the Selma Diamond joke. You've gotta love him.

[Patsy Stone]

91. Aw... Selma Diamond.

Good for you, Michael!

[RevCheesehead]

93. One of my most favorite ever TV sitcom lines came from her:

"I laughed. I cried. It became a part of me."

[Patsy Stone]

107. LOL!

She was great. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

117. Her lines would regularly get my dad laughing hysterically.

Much of it, I believe, was from the deadpan delivery.

Dad loved to watch that show, even with Dan Fielding's smutty cracks. I think Selma had a lot to do with it. :)

To Selma, Flo, and Roz: :toast:

[bunny planet]

112. I loved Selma even before 'Night Court' She used to do a kind of stand up

and she had a character named Seal, that was hysterical. No not that Seal.
Wait, it was spelled Cille, like the end of Lucille.

[RevCheesehead]

138. Here's yer chance to make another vote that really counts!
