KOEB 7/13/06 Valerie Wilson Sues Edition

[ralps]

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

[SharonRB]

1. I'll get rid of mine

[ralps]

3. Hi SharonRB, Thanks

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

[Patsy Stone]

2. So where are we?

I'm staying here. Hi, ralps!

I am so proud of the Wilsons. :patriot:

[ralps]

4. Hi Patsy, So am I

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

[SharonRB]

6. We're here -- and I'm here

Internets are back up and running. I think it was our provider, not us, that was the problem.

I'm proud of them, too. I didn't hear about it until I got home and had Randi on. I had trouble streaming AAR today, so I had Mike Malloy on.

[Patsy Stone]

8. I read it on DU

about 3 o'clock. Hey, Lawrence looks like he's going to a funeral.

And, what is with him lately? The Libby pardon theory, the Wilson's don't have a strong case... WTF?

[SharonRB]

13. I was too busy between lunchtime and when I left work at 7

to be on DU -- the rest of the summer will probably be that way. Normally I would have heard it earlier or seen it here.

[ralps]

5. We'll find out soon what happens with their suit

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

[Patsy Stone]

7. Yay! John Dean is back on the TV!

Broad constitutional issues...

[CBHagman]

117. Hey, Dean was broadcasting right from the bookstore!

The DC bookstore where he did his signing tonight, that is. Rats! I missed it. But I certainly recognized those shelves of DVDs behind him. :-)

Hi, all you EDVs and the men who are alongside them in the trenches/on the barstools. :hi:

[ralps]

9. I hope Laurence O'Donnell is wrong

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

[Patsy Stone]

10. I think he's snapped. n/t

[Patsy Stone]

11. Ooh, Joe Wilson is going to be on next week...

:loveya::loveya:, Joe.

[ralps]

12. Yay!!! Joe Wilson will be on Countdown next week!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

14. Hey, ralps?

Could you please pick a photo without the GSB suit and electric purple tie?

Pleeeze?

[ralps]

16. I've updated it, is that better?

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

[Patsy Stone]

17. Bee-yoo-ti-ful!

Thanks, and I hope I didn't upset you.

[ralps]

23. Nope, I just thought I'd pick a photo I hadn't seen in a while

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

[Patsy Stone]

30. To be honest,

I don't know what the heck he's wearing in this picture either. :)

But it's much better.

[bunny planet]

15. Hola Chicas!!!!

I believe John Dean's version of the strength of the Wilson's lawsuit. Lawrence O'Donnell's version is just too pessimistic for me. I also was thrown off by O'Donnell's statements a couple of weeks ago that Anne Coulter was just a comedienne. Sheesh.

It is true that the Wilsons will definitely get swiftboated for appearing in public so much and posing for photographs.

[ralps]

18. Hi bunny planet, I would think that the swiftboating would have already

happened when the Vanity Fair (?) story came out. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

19. YAY!!!! Bunny!

See my post to Sharon. I think he's got a contract writing a RW show this season.

:loveya: :hi:

[bunny planet]

Most def. L O'D has been really annoying lately.

and to think he was the one that got the Rove rumor really going about the Plame leak months ago.
What's up Lawrence?

[Berry Cool]

20. Bonsoir, mesdemoiselles!

:hi: Better late than never...was out havin' sushi with the sister...

The tuna was especially good. :-)

[ralps]

26. Hi BerryBush, I hope your dinner was good

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

[bunny planet]

28. What no ravioli?

[Berry Cool]

50. No--no ravioli

just sushi. :9

[WolverineDG]

111. And the merlot?

:hide:

dg

[SharonRB]

112. I think we'll find out about the merlot later

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

115. Hey Sharon!

:hi: Sorry I wasn't around tonight. Had things to do, people to see...or is that vice versa? :evilgrin:

dg

[bleever]

22. Remember, Lawrence O'Donnell isn't a lawyer.

He's just playing one on TV.

:)

[ralps]

29. Hi bleever

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

[bleever]

35. Hi ralps.

Happy Wilson suit day!

[bunny planet]

31. but his lame arguement was that he wrote a book once on civil rights or

maybe he meant a civil suit.
More like he plays a jackass on teevee, lately anyway.

[bleever]

Keef was asking for the political ramifications, and got legal opinion

instead.

He may wish he'd had Craig or Dana on instead for this segment.

[Patsy Stone]

33. And so unconvincingly too!

:hi:

[bleever]

45. I got a nice

signed thank you letter from Nancy Skinner yesterday!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

46. So did I!

Thanks for donating to her campaign, bleev!

She got a new campaign manager this week (she was pretty much doing it herself before) and he won't let her come into the office anymore. She has to be "just the candidate" and do her phone calling, etc. from home. He doesn't want her dealing with the staff anymore. Now she can concentrate on what's really important and he can deal with the staff.

[SharonRB]

24. BunBun!!!

Hi. How was your opening Saturday night? How's the show going?

Glad you're here.

[bunny planet]

56. Sha-sha!!!!!!!

Opening was great, very crowded. I was being introduced to the gallery's clientele. There was a solo show in the main gallery and I was in the smaller satellite gallery. Gallerist called me today and said he expects to make more sales this weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed, got to pay off the occupied renovation. I may very well have picked up gallery representation in Tokyo so that is way cool.

KItchen is done except for a wall of tiles and bathroom is almost done except for the shower door. They look beautiful (thank GAwd, I had performance anxiety near the end since I designed and handpicked everything right down to the lightswitch covers) I can't wait until you come this way again, you MUST stay with me.

Meanwhile I will be driving down to Fla-la-la, stopping in Nashville and Ashville (yes one of my best friends moved to just outside of Ashville, NC and I am finally visiting her).

How's by you doll????

[SharonRB]

69. I'm okay.

That's really exciting about the gallery in Tokyo. Will you have to go there? How cool!

I'd love to stay with you -- you must post photos of the finished renovation. (Which reminds me, how about those prom photos?) I have no idea when I'll be in New York again. Nothing in the works right now.

[bunny planet]

72. I'll be right back with the prom photo.

Hold on.

[bunny planet]

79. Here's one.

She's the brunette in the turquoise and lavender number standing next to the young Rod Stewart.

[SharonRB]

80. She's so pretty, Bunny

I like her dress, too.

He also looks like a young Robin Williams.

[Patsy Stone]

91. The hair

is totally British Invasion. :)

[Patsy Stone]

89. Lovely!

And that's a beautiful dress. You're very lucky. :loveya:

[bunny planet]

92. Oy

[Patsy Stone]

94. Um...

You don't mean... baby bunnies? :)

[bunny planet]

103. LOL, no, not that.

[SharonRB]

97. And why, pray tell?

[bunny planet]

104. nothing serious. See above.

[bunny planet]

86. Here's a close up of my sweetie.

She is off in ... at a pre-college art program. I miss her so much I can't stand it. She is having such a great time!!! She saved up for the program with her last two summer jobs. I'm kvelling.

[SharonRB]

90. She looks so different in the two photos

Is this an older one?

[bunny planet]

No, just taken a couple of months ago, right around the same time as the

Prom. She looks really different when she's not smiling.

[SharonRB]

100. Her hair looks so much shorter in this other photo.

[bunny planet]

106. Not sure why it does. She cuts it herself and has lots of layers.

I think she has the longest bits tied back and they just aren't showing on the pic.

[bunny planet]

107. the longer parts of her hair are pulled around the back of her head and

peeking out over the opposite shoulder. I know, it looks like she has short hair in that pic, but she doesn't.

[bunny planet]

95. Edited for computer stuttering.

[bunny planet]

21. They could have been taken to Iran. Huh?

I'm glad KO is not zoning in on that statement, sounds very suspiciously neoconnish to me.

This is awful.
Please let those soldiers be released unharmed so this particular crisis can be cut short.
Not feeling very hopeful about that happening.

[Berry Cool]

25. It really is a crazy world, isn't it?

But I'm so pleased Valerie is suing! :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

37. I am too!

:bounce: Let's get 'em all on the stand.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

27. GD thread about Lawrence.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1628290&mesg_id=1628290

ed: to spell his name right. Should I have even bothered?

[bleever]

54. Great minds

seem to be thinking alike.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

66. Always nice

to see H2O Man.

[Clark2008]

32. Got outbid on the house - bummed edition.

:cry:

Guess it wasn't for us, afterall. Back to the drawing board.

:hi: all.

[SharonRB]

39. Oh, I'm so sorry, Clark

Maybe you'll find an even better one. It was cute, though.

[Patsy Stone]

40. Oh, Clark.

I'm so sorry. This wasn't the one, your house is still out there waiting for you to find it.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

55. You will find the right one and it will be the one you will get.

Have faith...I do. :-)

[ralps]

41. Hi Clark2008, Darn It!!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :cry:

[Clark2008]

49. Ramzey is most upset - he loved all the stairs

I've picked out a couple of ranchers to go look at, but I'm sure Ramzey won't approve. Ever since we stayed in that Victorian in London, he's begged me for a house with stairs.

I did find another brick house - same era - that has a partial unfinished basement, is also brick and one road over from the other one. We'll go look at it this weekend.

Thanks all.

Hubby's out doing the grocery shopping while I'm tending to my very sick dog... did I tell you guys he had to go back and get re-stitched? He, well, to put this delicately, ummm... "pooed" his other stitches out. And, all the meds - they're making him sick. We woke up to :puke: in the bed this morning. JOY! Not a good day - and the 13th usually isn't one of my "jinx" numbers.

P.S. And to make matters worse - I got the Who's tour dates. Nothing near me and the one's that are nearest by... not on weekends when we could travel. SIGH. NOT a good day at all.

[Patsy Stone]

53. Oh, the poor baby

Well, both of them. I'm sure you'll find the perfect house for everyone and :hug: for your good doggie.

[ralps]

60. Awwww I hope your doggie gets well soon

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :cry:

[Berry Cool]

85. Me too. Poor pup. I send him best wishes.

Any chance of going out of town to see the Who?

[Clark2008]

99. Well.... all the dates are up north

If we do not by a house, then we can probably afford to make the trip. If we do find a house to buy, welll.... probably not.

And - for Trooper... he is OK - just a bit worn out for all the surgeries and stitching and meds.

[bunny planet]

34. I have to admit, I love it when KO covers the stories his producers force

him to cover, the snarkometer goes up to ELEVEN.

[Patsy Stone]

44. But...

We still have to sit here, through the Brangelina footage. It's like the eternal struggle of pleasure and pain, played out on my TV.

:)

[bunny planet]

62. Isn't the Brangelina, Brad, Jen story just like the Elizabeth Taylor,

Eddie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds scandal I used to read about in my mom's movie mags when I was a kid.
Oopsy, dating myself again.
Dang.

[Patsy Stone]

76. You don't mean

that Hollywood is looking for publicity?

[bunny planet]

36. I still have the hottest hots for Patrick Fitzgerald.

Not sure I'm ready to see him in the Oddball countdown yet.

[Patsy Stone]

47. It was Top Three Newsmakers, wasn't it?

That's okay. And I love me some Fitz! He can come over and play his accordion anytime.

[bunny planet]

58. yeah, but aren't those the jokey newsmakers that come at the end of the

Oddball segment.

Love Hubba Bubba in that ad. I'm tearing up at that quote.

[bunny planet]

88. Patsela,

What took me so long. Not sure whether it's upthread or down thread from here. I have a bad sense of direction.

[ralps]

38. Patrick Fitzgerald indicted 2 guys for selling expired salad dressing?????

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

[Clark2008]

42. Well, that could be deadly, you know!

:hi: Ralps

[Berry Cool]

57. Too bad Karl Rove didn't sell expired salad dressing.

Fitz would've locked him up and thrown away the key.

Think of it...a perp walk with croutons.

[Patsy Stone]

98. Could you send the peppier over, please?

LOL!

[SharonRB]

43. I totally missed that.

That's what I get for having to be on the computer in the other room.

I have good news, though.

At work they raffle off used computers when they replace them, and I got a laptop today! Of course it has no operating system, so it will take a while until hubby gets it set up for me. Then I can watch and blog in the same room. Oh, happy day!

[ralps]

51. Cool!! I hope he gets that set up soon

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

[SharonRB]

52. Me, too, ralps.

[Berry Cool]

59. What wonderful news!

And I got a raise at work. So there's happiness to spread from some quarters, anyway.

[SharonRB]

83. Thanks, Berry, and congrats on the raise

[Berry Cool]

108. Thank you, Shar

I'm pretty happy, anyway.

[Berry Cool]

61. Oh no, he's going to show the two-faced kitten.

Poor thing. What are we doing to our environment that all of a sudden cats are having one-eyed and two-faced kittens?

This was in Ohio.

And get this...the owner wants to give it the imaginative name of "Tiger." *sigh*

[Patsy Stone]

48. BWAHAHAHHA! Shocked! Shocked!

At the gall of the Democrats! I am a big blowhard Republican drowning in mock indignation!

And, Chip Reid, whereyabeen?

[bleever]

64. I liked the guy who said it was the most crass thing

he'd seen in his adult life.

Which of course makes me wonder about why he made that qualifying statement.

Sybil, hold your water??

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

67. I knew they'd title this story "Mice on a Plane."

But they should've captioned it "Die Fledermaus." :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

63. That was a close-up close-up

of Keith on the TV for the story tease.

[bunny planet]

65. Ha, 'not a duplicitous cat mind you, just a two-faced cat'

Love you Keef.

[ralps]

68. 800 mice on a plane???? Gross

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :puke:

[Berry Cool]

77. The station in Columbus couldn't get anyone to go on camera

but a six-year-old boy?

Some interview. Sheesh.

And poor Barbaro...he's been going downhill for a while.

And Red Buttons died. Man!

[Patsy Stone]

70. Like I didn't have enough problems with flying

The mice I could have done without.

[SharonRB]

73. You and me both.

[bunny planet]

71. more reasons to drive or take the Autotrain.

Meeses eating the airplanes. Like the moon mice on Rocky and Bullwinkle.

[Patsy Stone]

74. Look at the kitties!!!

Oh, I could eat them with a spoon! :loveya:

I don't know about the omni-directional one.

[SharonRB]

75. It's very freaky

But poor thing!

[Patsy Stone]

84. Nursing...

Through which mouth?

[SharonRB]

78. I think about 6 famous people have died in the past three days

[Berry Cool]

87. Well, you know what Keith says

"When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions."

[Patsy Stone]

81. Red Buttons...

Who later went on to be the spokesperson for Century Village. That's a retirement residence down here that's sorta like a cemetery, but everyone still has their own apartment.

RIP.

[bleever]

93. Don't forget his moving performance in The Poseidon Adventure.

:)

[SharonRB]

96. LOL -- now, now

My grandmother lived there (at the W Palm branch) several months a year before she died in 1997. At least she was no longer alive for the 2000 election and couldn't vote for Pat Buchanan. Actually, she may have voted in New York, not Florida.

[Patsy Stone]

116. Shar?

A year before she died?

You've made my point beautifully. :)

[SharonRB]

125. Huh?

She lived there for many years before she died, but only during the winters. I had a feeling when I typed what I did that it would be misunderstood.

:hi:

[ralps]

82. Today's Worst person in the world is.... The Pentagon Public Relations

for saying you could text message when you really can't. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :grr:

[Clark2008]

101. LOL- Joe Scarborough just said, "And now a story that Keith

Olbermanns producers made me do."

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

102. LOL

Joey's getting a sense of humor.

[Botany]

105. the movie .... The KOEB Saga

Their Lives Their Loves & Their Bay Airs



But who gets to play Botany?

A cross between a young Sean Connery



and Tom Hanks?



and who would play the love interest for Bot?

Rev, Got a picture that might help?

[ralps]

109. Hi Botany, Sean Connery!!

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

[Berry Cool]

110. Why do I get the feeling KO's producers are now working for Joe?

He seems to have no problem with making the celebrity crap his leadoff story!

[WolverineDG]

113. Hi everyone!

Missed the show because of an appointment, then had connection problems! :hi:

dg

[SharonRB]

114. Are we on alert?

DU is acting weird -- all icons, avatars and everything are gone.

[RevCheesehead]

118. Oh, great.... I had a meeting, and am watching the re-countdown..

And after the first story, they break away TO RITA!!!!! :banghead:
Sure, breaking news on Lebanon, etc... but still... it couldn't wait??

And - I had to listen to that voice. :scared:

[CC]

119. Hi Rev, watching the re air

here too. And you know that Rita break is going to run into the Daily Show re air.

[RevCheesehead]

120. What the hey??

Now they're on the #3 story?? I'm confused.

At least you can catch several rebroadcasts of TDS. :hi:

[CC]

121. I never seem to catch the next

day rebroadcast. Watched the local news instead since they were in my county doing the Barbaro story. Does not look good for him though still hoping.
Did they skip a story? Glad they had the commercial on, wanted Ter to see it.

[RevCheesehead]

122. I'm still freaking from the kitten story.

I guess I'm still a bit sensitive about critters and health. :(

I wish they'd dump Imus so we could see Keith in the morning.

[CC]

123. I can't blame you there.

Though it was a spunky, noisy two headed kitten. Has to be a good sign there. Though I know they rarely survive.

I wish they'd dump Imus period and well I rarely watch tv before 3 pm so don't see Keith even though he is on in the morning. The zoo crew would freak if I neglected them for tv.

[RevCheesehead]

124. OK, out of that amazing menagerie,

how many are still on this side of the rainbow bridge?
and which ones are they?

[CC]

126. Lost the net last night

He was just here and replaced a splitter, crossing fingers that is it or they will be tracing the wire through the house.

The only ones gone from those pics are Jazzy(12/05),Gizmo(6/05) and Stormy(8/03). The rest are hanging in there. Most healthy though some are into their old age and have some of the problems that come with it.

[RevCheesehead]

127. I still love the image of Roo and Gizmo, (and Blue Doggie)

romping thru the fields of heaven together, with Mom laughing at them. :)

[CC]

128. Me too though my image does

include the other two ferrets and involves your mom spoiling them and them spoiling her with lots of love.
Sorry went swimming in there somewhere and did yard work.

[RevCheesehead]

129. Of course....

that would also include Beau, right?
(gads, I hope I spelled his name right!)

[CC]

130. Yep it would though

he would most likely be making your mom laugh until she had tears rolling, in between his fuming over the mess that began in 2000. He was anti-bush when rumors or running began and he was very politically aware. I really need to scan and post his sheeple paper. And you spelled it right. lol

[RevCheesehead]

131. Well, then - that would be perfect....

since my Mom loved to laugh. And she, too, had an intense dislike for the blivet. Around Christmas, she said to me "I can't stand looking at him....he looks just like a little monkey."

(that, she came up with, all on her own!) :D

[CC]

132. I would bet they are both

laughing and working hard from there then on changing things here. Also Beau is most likely complaining that we never had ferrets until Dec. 2000. Terry didn't want to "do" Christmas that year. It doesn't go away just because you don't do it. A friend that lost his 17 year old said to get away from it they went to Asia the first couple years. I went and bought Pixel and Gizmo on Christmas Eve for our Christmas presents since I felt like doing nothing sucked. Sometimes I swear there was someone behind it. Little pet store open on Christmas Eve around 7 pm in a town that rolls up the streets on the 23rd?
BTW that friend's wife is now a minister. No more running from it now.
