Thanks, darling:

[CBHagman]

64. Make a wish, Patsela!

[Patsy Stone]

69. President Gore. President Kerry. President Feingold.

Oops. I wasn't supposed to say it out loud.

Thanks! :toast:

[SharonRB]

71. Not President Clinton?

For different reasons, maybe, because he can't be president again. But he's still mine for now.

[Patsy Stone]

75. Always and forever

He is my president.

BILL!!! :loveya::loveya:

[SharonRB]

78. I know there's a good line there somewhere, but I'll just let it go

I :loveya: Bill!!!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

80. I know

Last time it was a picture with a cigar, now this... And it's always innocent, too. I just look for the ones where he looks the best. I guess some things just make men happy.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

7. Yay!

Thanks. :blush:

Yes the high-waisted pants are weird enough, Brian. But the eye makeup and the names of the kids "Angel" and "Innocence"...

Well: :scared:

[SharonRB]

13. He reminds me of Ed Grimley

[ralps]

10. Hi SharonRB, Hi Everyone, Happy Birthday Patsy, Bill, & Mike Malloy

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :party: :party: :toast: :toast: :bounce: :bounce: :applause: :applause:

[Patsy Stone]

12. When's Mike's birthday?

:hi:, ralps!

[ralps]

16. I think it's today but I'm not absolutely sure??

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

[Olney Blue]

14. I like Brian's crisp white shirt, dark tie, and dark suit. Looks good.

[Patsy Stone]

17. Looks like Keith's chalk-striped suit

But Brian is dressed well. :thumbsup:

[bleever]

15. Happy Birthday, Pats!

:party: :toast:

[Patsy Stone]

20. Thanks!

And a lovely gift, too!

:toast:

[SharonRB]

22. You can make some great Cosmos with that

It's so smooth.

[Patsy Stone]

26. It's yummy!

Just the way * says "al-KYEda". :puke:

[bleever]

33. I forgot snacks!

[Patsy Stone]

39. Double plus yum!

[bleever]

47. Maybe later you can see a show.

[Berry Cool]

25. Happy Birthday, Pats and Bill!

:party: and :hi: all!

Now...WHERE THE HELL IS KEITH????? He wasn't on Dan Patrick's show today either!!!!

And...WHAT THE HELL IS BRIAN DOING IN LOS ANGELES TOO???

I heard that Tucker Carlson is also there. Given that he's doing Dancing with the Stars, I guess that would make sense.

But what the heck is going on??? Is Dan Abrams pulling a "Laverne & Shirley"...moving the whole network to California in hopes of boosting the sagging ratings???

What does this mean? Is Rita Cosby going to be their version of Rhonda?? Is Joe Scarborough going to start running an ice-cream truck???

[bleever]

29. Pulling a Laverne & Shirley??

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

31. Maybe he's in the air?

Maybe he's getting married? Maybe he's meeting Stephanie Miller for drinks?

Thanks for the b-day wishes! :hi:

[Berry Cool]

38. That's it. All of MSNBC flew to Los Angeles to attend Keith's wedding.

Except Rita. Bwahaha.

Either that, or Stephanie borrowed someone's pink fuzzy handcuffs and kidnapped him.

OR...the fact that Brian is in Los Angeles proves that HE's having a hot, heavy affair with Katy Tur.

[WolverineDG]

42. Not just attend

they're in the wedding party.

With Rita as the wedding singer. :scared:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

46. Oh, NO!

That's a :scared: thought than either Creepy Guy OR Snakes on a Plane!

:rofl:

[WolverineDG]

57. Well

I could probably sit through "Snakes on a Plane." Rita's singing? Not so much.

dg

[Clark2008]

65. Naaaa.... double header: BoSox v. Yankees.

My husband says he KNOWS where Keith is.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

73. Yeah, but do you REALLY think KO left LA?

I'm not so sure. I think he's still there.

I'm also not feeling too sure about next week. Brian did NOT say he would be back Monday. Normally he takes great pains to let us all know when KO is coming back so as to quell stupid rumors. :-(

[SharonRB]

23. Yay Anna Diggs Taylor!!!

I hope her ruling sticks.

[Berry Cool]

30. My gosh, I actually felt SORRY for the blivet, he looked so incompetent!

When he was just pouting about the ruling: "I have made my position clear, and the terrorists just made THEIR position clear when...when...well, when...uh, when, uh, when we stopped 'em."

How embarrassing. :blush:

[ralps]

27. Awww Poor Georgie's Pissed off at the judge. Well Sorry Georgie!! No

Supper for you!! You broke the law!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :mad: :grr:

[Clark2008]

52. I like how he chided those of us who treasure the Constitution as

not understanding the world we live in.

:eyes:

Who doesn't understand the world, Georgie? My first husband is Arabic. My current husband was born in South Africa and is of Jewish heritage. My son is half Arabic. My best friend is Greek. I think I'll call dibs on understanding.

[Olney Blue]

28. Chimp sounds like a blathering idiot. God help us.

[Berry Cool]

34. "George Bush's Talladega Nights may be over."

:rofl: I am so happy to see this happening. "Uzi uncles or Christian cousins..." They're all abandoning Little Georgie.

[Patsy Stone]

40. That exchange was hysterical

:rofl:

[Olney Blue]

32. No. Dana. You may not wear that.

:wtf:

[Berry Cool]

36. And enough with the cracks about "the Dems are like the Chicago Cubs."

"They're sure that even if it looks like they can win, they can manage to lose."

Thanks a lot.

[Olney Blue]

37. Not this time, Dana. Dems are going to fight back.

[Berry Cool]

53. Dan Abrams' new game plan: "MSNBC" now stands for...

"Must-See News Broadcasts from CALIFORNIA!"

The new lineup:

Mornings: Don Imus broadcasts from his new ranch in Death Valley.
Afternoons: Ron Reagan LIVE!
Tucker Carlson: His new show--"Tucker Carlson's Dance Fever!"
Chris Matthews: "We're with the Angels and the Dodgers. Let's play Hardball!"
Countdown: "Which of these rumors about my social life will you be talking about tomorrow?...Good evening, from the city I lived in for ten years and still have many good friends in..."
Scarborough Country: "Where is Scarborough Country? Anywhere from Sacramento to San Diego. Anywhere from Redwood City to Oakland. Average Joe presents news that matters to the average Californian!"
Documentary Specials: It's back to the Bunny Ranch for Rita. After all, it's nearby.
Doc-Block: Constant reruns of "Lockup: Alcatraz."

[Patsy Stone]

60. LOFL!

Bite your tongue...

[Olney Blue]

63. Did you write that? It's good, Berry.

[Berry Cool]

74. 'Course I did, Olney. I don't have professional writers here to help.

Thanks. :blush:

[Olney Blue]

81. Well, you nailed the MSNBC line-up and their personalities!

:toast:

Have a good weekend!

[CBHagman]

41. Oh, that's the Washington Post party line.

Do not get me started on the Post. For about 18 months after 9/11, they shoehorned the phrase "popular wartime president" into articles about Bush. Even when it was clear his disapproval ratings outstripped his approval ratings, they still tried to put a positive spin on it. Even Mary McGrory, God rest her soul, bought Colin Powell's pre-Iraq war case before the U.N.

Of course, we also had to put up with eight years of whinging and sneering about Clinton and Gore from the Post. They went batty over the Rich pardon and also tried to imply Clinton left office mired in controversy while Reagan enjoyed universal popularity. A helpful reader pointed out that Clinton's approval rating was higher than Reagan's at the ends of their respective terms. Oops. :blush:

So expect Dana to kick the Dems like a front porch dog. He can't help himself.

[Patsy Stone]

50. VandeHei was the same way on

Hardball tonight.

:hi:

[CBHagman]

91. VandeHei tried to link George W. Bush to John Paul II!

After the death of the pope, VandeHei spent no fewer than THREE articles on the supposed harmony between John Paul II's notion of the culture of life and Bush's polices. :puke: Coveniently, VandeHei did not dwell on things like, oh, WAR and the free market, and the criticism they elicited from JPII.

Yeah, I've got VandeHei's number.

[Patsy Stone]

92. And don't forget his ability

to channel what Bob Luskin was thinking during the GJ investigation. They obviously had his number, too -- since he was the one Rove's camp called when they needed to take a nice leak.

Feh!

[Patsy Stone]

48. No

A tad too Tom Wolfe for me.

[Berry Cool]

59. Snakes on a Chrysler??

They're supposed to replace Dr. Z with snakes??

Oh, about Bob Schieffer. I had to laugh at his reaction to that guy's monocle. It was very Keithlike. "LOL, when's the last time you actually saw a guy wearing a monocle?" :rofl:

[bleever]

54. What's so funny about monocles??

I might just change my avatar in protest.

[Berry Cool]

61. Of course, YOU wouldn't find it funny, bleev...

...sorry. :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

84. Did someone say monocle?

Guess what I found on sale today? :bounce::bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

86. Shultz!!

Nice to see you! That reminds me; someone gave me something the other day which reminded me immediately of you:

[RevCheesehead]

87. (in best Goliath voice) "Ha-pee Birttth-daay, Paat-see"

Oh, now you've done it! You've added to my "must have" list! :bounce::bounce:

I hope your day is a great one! :party::toast::party:

[Patsy Stone]

89. Thanks, Rev!

:toast:

There are several volumes, so put them on your Amazon wish list!



Here's something else for you:

[Patsy Stone]

66. When am I gonna make it back to Haiti...

I kills me everytime. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

70. Good one. But my favorite SNL commercial sketch ever

was "Action Cats"--the little plastic costumes you could put on your cats to make them into action figures.

"Stego-Puss!"

[bleever]

67. Paris Hilton: heir head.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

[Clark2008]

68. Oh... 'afore I forget...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATS!

:toast: :yourock: :headbang: :woohoo: :party: :party: :woohoo: :headbang: :yourock: :toast:

[Patsy Stone]

72. Thanks, doll!

:toast::toast::loveya:

[Berry Cool]

76. Sorry Keith didn't show for you, sweetie.

He doesn't know what he missed.

[Patsy Stone]

85. Thanks, Berry.

Oh, and perhaps Keith is in LA right now meeting the woman of his dreams -- by chance. Their encounter could all start with one simple question:

"Can you direct me to a hotel?"

[SharonRB]

77. You'll probably have to celebrate mine on Monday without me

My sister-in-law is coming in from Israel and my folks are taking us out to dinner. I keep telling myself, "no politics, no politics...." but there's nothing else to talk about these days. It's not going to be fun. The last time I saw my brother before he died was with her at the same restaurant we're going to -- it's really the only kosher place in town and my folks won't go anywhere else. That night wasn't great either -- it was shortly after the election and I was pissed at my folks and my brother and sister-in-law for voting for *. They could vote even though they lived in Israel. My brother said I don't understand because I don't live there. I said he didn't have to live with the idiot on a daily basis and had no idea what he was doing to this country. Not a great last conversation with him.

[Patsy Stone]

79. A premature

but heartfelt HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, Shar! :toast:

Do you already know that this latest event didn't change her mind? After all, * didn't do too much to help stop Hezbollah.

That sounds like a weird way to spend your birthday. I'd rather you were here with us!

[SharonRB]

82. I'd rather be here, too.

I doubt she changed her mind. I think most of the Israeli people were behind this war. I don't think they get that * has actually made things more dangerous. I'm also sure that they don't have a clue why he really cares so much about Israel. He doesn't give a damn about the people. As long as the Jews are occupying the land until the rapture comes. Then, it's b'bye, see ya, been nice knowin' ya. Of course, it's a bunch of crap, but that's all they care about.

[Olney Blue]

83. Those family differences are tough. Good luck!

:hug:

[Patsy Stone]

88. Yep

But in the big picture, to Israelis, shouldn't the POTUS should always support them? I don't think they care why. :)
