KOEB 6/21

[SharonRB]

Woo hoo! He's here.

[RevCheesehead]

1. Hi, Sharon.

Not only is he back, he is snarking on Bolton!!! :hi:

For Keith: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

5. And Mary Carey is going to be in the studio

KO must be really excited!

[RevCheesehead]

7. I'm guessing

we won't hear "keep your knees loose" tonight. :evilgrin:

[bunny planet]

138. LOL, we did hear keep your knees loose after the interview with the

blow-up doll. KO couldn't pass up the opportunity to have his catchphrase be so relevant.

[Berry Cool]

9. I'm so glad he decided to do it from beautiful downtown Burbank again!!

or MSNBC did!!

Either way, he's here!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya::loveya: for KO in LA!!!!

Hey, we need a picture!



Thanks Keith and :hi: all!

[Catchawave]

Go Mary...hope I haven't missed her.....

Hiya all :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: <----Keef too!

[gkhouston]

106. um, interesting sig under the picture of Mary Carey

should we infer that he's spent his time in California "taking" something? :7

[Berry Cool]

114. Then again,

maybe he's not "going to take it anymore"!

[Sydnie]

2. Just tuned in - what have I missed?

:hi: everyone!

:loveya:

[Botany]

24. You missed me .....

.... :rofl: because after all you are my Fav EDV .....

Drive by blog ..... off to swim must keep those solid pec muscles in
shape ..... while allowing my beer gut to keep me afloat ......

anybody seen crispini? Is she out snark hunting?

[Clark2008]

3. Hey all!

Got company coming later, so I won't be blogging the full hour.

But nice to see you all and nice to see Snarky Keefie!! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

4. Howard Finemann thinks there's 2 cinder blocks

around blivet's ankles. :woohoo:

Even the right-wingers are coming around. C'mon, media! :bounce:

[SharonRB]

6. And WH internal polls say people are getting tired

of the Dem's obstructionist tactics? I don't THINK so.

[SharonRB]

10. Take Dana Milbank away!

[RevCheesehead]

13. Yeah - I'm getting tired

of all those mandatory MSNBC connections. :puke:

[bleever]

108. Hey, internal WH polls showed * won the election...

Just sayin'.


;)

[Sydnie]

8. tee hee tee hee

Fineman can't be wrong all the time, right? :woohoo:

:loveya: Keef "Once they go the hell home" :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

12. "Get a roll of stamps and mail it in"...

He couldn't resist doing an old SportsCenter snark!

Mary Carey is in the STUDIO???? Uh-oh, Keith's in trouble now!!

I was on a date and just got home. Agh. What I miss!!!!

Later...gotta watch Keith without distractions now...

[RevCheesehead]

16. ooh - I'm jealous!

A date? :bounce:
Do tell. Who's the lucky fella?

[Berry Cool]

91. Blind date. Nobody in particular.

I don't think there was chemistry and I doubt he did either. Still a very pleasant guy, and told me a story about a bad date another woman told him she had with someone else that was quite amusing. (Even Mary Carey would think so.)

[RevCheesehead]

97. yeah, but at least you're getting out there.

I went to a wedding reception, alone. :(
Of course, everyone there knew I was the pastor who did the wedding.
Sigh. Nobody's interested if you work for Jesus. :cry:

[Berry Cool]

115. The problem is, Jesus is such a demanding employer.

Makes you come in on Sundays and everything. :-(

[Patsy Stone]

130. Hi, Syd.

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

I just saw this post. :)

[Sydnie]

11. yuck! When is Dana going to get his big boy teeth? n/t

[bettyellen]

28. hey syd, did Dana talk about the DSM or Conyers......

i think i'd love to hear him try and defend that piece of shit editorial.

[SharonRB]

31. He was talking about the three people who got kicked out of the

Bush rally in Colorado a few months ago. I really didn't want to even see his face after that crappy editorial about Conyers.

[Sydnie]

38. Bettyellen, where you been girlfriend?

You have been missed around these parts!

He didn't go near that editorial OR Rove. He did the "democrats are whining again" dance. What an ugly soul that man has!

Good to see you chicka! :hug:

[bettyellen]

46. omigosh, looking for work again, got to meet our dear flyarm

who is wonderful and see andy s. before he went back home to seattle, then an 18- wheeler ripped the car door of my baby as i was opening the door. (doing 45 mph on a small 2-way street- approaching a stoplight) it's been a rough two weeks. i'm just glad i still have my left leg!
:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

53. Oh, no!!

Wow. So glad to hear that all went well. And very cool that you saw Andy. You were missed. :hi:

[Sydnie]

Damn girl, eventful summer for you already! I have to know

did you ever get your bath tub? It's one of those mysteries that I think about often.

Glad you got to spend some time with Andy.

Good thing you weren't getting out any faster or in any slower. Glad you kept both legs and your head where they belong.

You know what Keef says ... keep you knees loose!

edit - because lose and loose are two different words

[bettyellen]

164. the bathtub is still there.

i hope it's still there when they finish the job renovating.
i had to run off abrupty. suprise visit last night!

[Sydnie]

167. I thought you would be soaking by now!

I hope it is still there when you move too! How much longer do they think it will be?

[bettyellen]

168. i'm wondering that myself syd! it seems to be just one guy doing it....

and it looks like he's done with rewiring and prepping frames for sheetrock. but he hasn't ripped out the old kitchen or started any of the floors or plumbing yet. i hope he puts another guy on it. this fella disappeared for three weeks, so it got way offf schedule.

[Sydnie]

169. Is he single? LOL

You can always offer to help, right? LOL

Seriously, I hope you get in soon. I would hate to see you miss the summer in your new place. Is there any green space attached?

[bettyellen]

170. yes the yard... it still needs a lot of work, but i'm excited to be two

floors closer to it. it's been difficult to entertain there because it's three flights of stairs to the bathroom. that and the tub were why i wanted to move down there in the first place.
i've got my fingers crossed this guy will get it done soon!

[RevCheesehead]

58. shit - your life is a whirlwind.

I'm glad you met Mama Fly - we miss her around here.
Sorry about the job, and hope you'll find something soon.

As for the truck driver - well, assholes happen. :(

[SharonRB]

74. Oh, bettyellen

I'm glad you're okay, but sorry to hear about your car.

[Patsy Stone]

14. And I was going to ask if one of them

had a Kerry button on! I can't believe they're still throwing people out of * rallies. Glad he covered this story.

:hi: all! I'll be in and out of here this evening, but it's very nice to see KO. :loveya:

And: Mary Carey! Do you think they're heading out together later? She said she thought he was cute and was bummed she wasn't in the studio with him. Was that just too tempting to pass up, KO? :)

[RevCheesehead]

15. First, it's the rallies...

next, it's election booths, then the country.

Welcome to blivet's country: "love me, or leave it."

[Patsy Stone]

17. For a while

I though about making little yellow stars for my clothes, you know, in case.

I hope they sue!

[RevCheesehead]

20. I think it would be

little blue paperclips. I'd wear mine with pride. :patriot:

[SharonRB]

21. LOL, Patsy

It took me a second, but we seem to be heading that way, don't we? Of course if you ask my father, he thinks it's the people on the left who are heading us that way.

[Patsy Stone]

27. Oy vey, Sharon. :) n/t

[SharonRB]

18. I heard KO was good last night on Leno

I taped it, but there was a five-alarm fire downtown last night and the local news gave it the whole hour's worth of coverage instead of airing Leno. Needless to say, when I sat down to watch the tape after work today I was very, very pissed.

[RevCheesehead]

23. Hey, they showed that footage

on our local news last night. It looked like an awful fire.
Is arson suspected?

[SharonRB]

29. I haven't heard anything about the cause

All I know is, there was no one in the building and it didn't warrant over an hour's worth of coverage. Especially since KO was on Leno and they pre-empted the whole show!

[RevCheesehead]

37. Maybe they were hoping

to catch someone's untimely death live on TV. Ratings, you know. :puke:

[bettyellen]

25. here you go darling! KO on Leno, the video!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1873257

[SharonRB]

57. You rock, bettyellen!

Of course, just into his discussion about O'Liely the computer started stuttering -- KO kept repeating himself and the machine locked up and I had to reboot. I'm back now -- I'll watch it again at work tomorrow on a better computer.

Thanks so much! What I saw was great.

[bunny planet]

19. Hola, its really the 21st and I'm late now.

Is KO on tonight or a sub? I'll only run up the stairs if Keef is back.

[RevCheesehead]

22. Run away, Thumper.

Keef is back! :)

[bettyellen]

35. LOl, Rev....

nice seeing you weigh in on the scientology debate.
some people don't know the difference between being open minded and using no judgement whatsoever? what was that alll about? everyone knows those freaks are not worshipping anything but themselves, they are attempting to become godlike, as in attaining super powers. LOL. pardon my french, but good fucking luck w/ that!
it's est crossed with a ponzi scheme with some comic book stuff thrown in.

[RevCheesehead]

39. I'll admit I was shocked

that anyone could defend that crap by calling it a religion. I think that those who did, really have no idea what religion is. :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

94. $cientology is garbage

designed to separate wealthy people from their money as efficiently as possible.

[Gogi]

136. You got that right, Berry!

I think when they wiped out Tom Cruise's 'engrams' they erased his brain, too. Perhaps Jeb Bush will become his champion. Did you see that Katie Holmes was the only actor not signed to appear in the sequel to MI? Great career move Katie! Apparently the studio is blaming the poor box office on their romance and, of course, they are not going to go after Tom.

KO, be an O8) , reject:dilemma: , come back to the pure ? love of the KOEB!

[Patsy Stone]

47. Hey, betty!

Nice to see you, woman! Missed you. How's NY? :hi:

[SharonRB]

26. He's baaaaaaaack!

He's broadcasting from LaLa Land again.

[bunny planet]

30. Mary Carey, a woman who knows an awful lot about elections.

Oh Keef.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

33. Hey!

It could happen! And monkey's might fly out of my butt!
Hi, bun! :hi:

[bunny planet]

34. Hi, gotta run upstairs to catch MC.

[Berry Cool]

76. Yeah, and he said there'd be no need for popsicle sticks tonight...

....to which I responded to my TV, "Yeah, Keith, watch out for your OWN popsicle stick!":rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

85. You did NOT just say that!

:spank::spank::spank:

[Berry Cool]

96. Oh, hit me, Rev!!!

It hurts so good!

...no wait, that's SPARKY's line...

[bunny planet]

32. I had to miss the first 15 minutes. He had Dana Milbank on!

Did he snark him real good? I must watch the rerun.

[bleever]

36. First time I've heard a newscaster say "tromp l'oiel".

Great Oddball tonight.

"Thank You! Come again."

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

41. Oh, just wait for Mary Carey... :) n/t

[bleever]

92. LOFL. (hack hack) Whew...

Oh. Breathing again.

Whew.


Too. Damn. Funny.

[RevCheesehead]

42. I missed that.

Had a freak power-blip, losing TV and computer for a while. Geez, it isn't even that hot here!

How are ya, Bleev? Is my poster on the way? :)

[bleever]

113. How much wall space ya got?

And I'm pretty good in general, watching my fifth grader graduate from kindergarten today, then taking him out for Chinese for lunch.

Also, watching * founder, and wanting to make sure it happens and be ready for what's next.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

117. WTF?

How do you watch a fifth-grader graduate from Kindergarten? :rofl:

Plenty of wall space here, but try to confine it to one wall. Parsonage committees can be so unforgiving. :(

[bleever]

121. D'Oh! I meant graduate from where he's been since K.

Good thing HE'S the one I'm proud of instead of me.

But, I dadded it through, so I guess I get basking rights.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

147. Those critters grow up way too fast.

My nephew is 12, and his voice is changing. :scared:

Congrats, Daddy. You must be proud. (How many critters do you have?)

[Berry Cool]

78. You can always count on Keith

to bring on le snark et le francais!

Loved his Ahnold impression too!

[bunny planet]

40. Did I miss Mary Carey when I was on the stairs. Shouldn't she be on the

Oddball segment?

[RevCheesehead]

43. No, you didn't miss her.

No doubt, she'll be the #1 story.

[Catchawave]

50. LOL...was hoping for #1 story !

Sooooooooo glad they found that little boy scout cutie. Now if we can only find a happy ending in Aruba!

[RevCheesehead]

52. Did you hear that after he got food and water,

the next thing he wanted was to play a video game on someone's cell phone? We're talking serious addiction here.

[Berry Cool]

79. What a relief.

So glad they found that kid! *whew*

[Berry Cool]

98. She IS an oddball, but they saved her for the end!

Go figure!!

[Patsy Stone]

44. He's a comedian, this Space Shuttle guy...

They don't get voted off the Station! :)

[RevCheesehead]

45. I heard a Keith snicker at that, too. n/t

[RevCheesehead]

48. My god - this engineer looks like Scotty!

Is that a conscious decision, or just fate?

[WolverineDG]

51. He must be one of Scotty's ancestors! n/t

[RevCheesehead]

55. Maybe he's the fella

who will invent "transparent aluminum." :)

[Patsy Stone]

59. Nice reference, Rev.

"Captain! There be whales here!" :)

[RevCheesehead]

I love that line.

I had to bite my lip (or slap my fingers) to avoid that reference during the Lounge Wars a few weeks ago. :spank:

[Patsy Stone]

:)

And really, you must see Trekkies if you haven't. You will plotz a chicken.

[bleever]

88. Okay, have I stumbled into the Valley of the Geeks?

:)


(And okay, in college when I worked the closed reference desk, I would write the star date on the calendar, so sue me.)

[RevCheesehead]

90. That's one thing I haven't mastered.

When is star date 000.0?

What is the length of a star year?

Inquiring geeks want to know! :)

[WolverineDG]

73. Nah, I think he's the one who coined the phrase

"Laddy, if you always tell the Captain exactly how much time it will take, how will you get to be a miracle worker?"

(paraphrase from Scotty's appearance in ST:TNG)

dg

[RevCheesehead]

49. I am so glad they found that kid alive.

I'll admit that I thought he was abducted. I'm so glad to be wrong.

[WolverineDG]

54. I'd be interested to hear

just how he got to where he was found. Did he get lost or decide to go exploring or what?

Glad to hear that one missing person story has a happy ending....now on to Mary Carey & KO in the same studio at the same time....

dg

[gkhouston]

109. probably stepped off the trail to take a pee and couldn't find his

way back. It sounded like rough country, so I wasn't too surprised that two children might have gone missing in the same area. I'll bet the river's wicked fast in the spring after the snows melt.

[Patsy Stone]

56. Rita Cosby

Cantstandya! OMG. Why did MSNBC think hiring her was a good idea???

And how wonderful that the boy was found safe. A good story for a change.

[Berry Cool]

99. I think I already hate Rita Cosby.

That FAUX sincerity is just too much for me.

And enough with the whole Jackson clan already!

[RevCheesehead]

60. SNARK!!!

"Well, FOX already has puppets, but that's another story." :loveya:

[SharonRB]

63. LOL!

[Berry Cool]

83. Classic!

Jay really should've been nicer to Keith. After all, Keith gave him a free shout-out during the Saddam-loves-Doritos story last night: "Crunch all you want, we'll make more!"

[gkhouston]

110. yeah, Jay politely crapped on our boy

'course KO's funnier than Jay and he write all his own jokes... could have something to do with it...

[Berry Cool]

119. My favorite joke of last night:

Jay tries to jab at Keith by telling him he doesn't think puppets are funny, and Keith ripostes with faux-seriousness, something like this: "They're not SUPPOSED to be funny. This is NEWS. This is Kukla, Fran & Ollie meet Edward R. Murrow!"

[gkhouston]

124. I loved it, but Jay wasn't going to let him finish

getting that joke off. It was kind of weird, really almost like Jay felt a little threatened by KO's popularity, which is bizarre, since Keith swims in a much smaller pond.

[Gogi]

133. Jay does'nt want anyone who might upstage him on the show, that's why

The Tonight Show was so much better under Carson. Carson would give new comedians a chance but not Leno. KO was probably on because NBC wants to promote Countdown and MSNBC, not because Leno wanted him. Carson was also a much better interviewer. The Tonight Show has become :boring: .

[gkhouston]

134. problem is, KO can upstage Jay without meaning to

Keith would be so much better at this than Jay. Whirly used to compare Keith to Steve Allen and she was right. He'd be an excellent host, in the way Steve Allen was, and he wouldn't be afraid to let his guests shine, too.

[Gogi]

139. I started wondering today if KO might be negotiating something.

You're right, he would be much better than Leno but Leno's got the Tonight Show locked up for years.

[gkhouston]

140. negotiating in LA? I wouldn't think so.

I doubt he'd want to leave NYC. That's almost as much a part of him as baseball and since he doesn't drive, life's really a bitch unless he's in a city with a functional mass transit system, which leaves out LA. :-) Yeah, he can afford a driver, but he's not on the star trip and is therefore apparently not the sort of person who's thrilled by the idea of having someone hanging around all day waiting to attend to his transport needs. If he could do a show from NYC, perhaps, but I don't think he was blowing smoke in his most recent blog when he said he was staying with news (as opposed to returning to sportscasting).

[Gogi]

144. He could jump from MSNBC to NBC and still stay in NYC.

From KO's standpoint, being able to walk from his apartment to work would be wonderfull. He's certainly started making disparaging comments about Secaucus.

[gkhouston]

145. I think everyone makes disparaging remarks about Secaucus. :-)

I'm not opposed to him jumping to another network, depending on the size and shape of the landing pad and which part of Keith hits it and how hard. :-) Given the money recently spent on promoting Countdown, I'd be a little surprised to learn they're thinking of shifting him to NBC, though.

[Gogi]

146. That's probably true on both counts, GK.

My sister has been thru that part of NJ and has nothing good to say about it.

[Berry Cool]

156. I too would have no objection to Keith switching nets in NY

as long as he wasn't treated like a second-class citizen for it.

[Berry Cool]

155. I think gk has this one right.

He's a New York boy. He's done the LA thing...twice. It must have been difficult for him not being able to drive, and this is a guy who obviously chooses public transportation over being driven everywhere. And I think now that he has a successful news show he's happy with, it's in his blood and he's not changing that.

[RevCheesehead]

148. It ain't the size of the pond -

It's the snark of the Piranha. :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

149. ooh, I think that may end up as somebody's sig line.

Instant classic material, that is. Although I don't think of Keith as a piranha, usually (he tends to inspire warmer, more cuddly feelings), his snark can indeed go right to the bone.

Well done, Cheese! :applause:

[RevCheesehead]

151. Really?

:blush: Gosh, my first response was barracuda, but that was the nickname of our high-school English teacher (also known as Mrs. K, "the didactic bitch.").

[bleever]

61. "These people know their news." If KO wanted to woo EDVs,

this would be the line. The closer. Ba da bing.


:)

[Rhiannon12866]

62. "Well FOX already has puppets, but that's another story..."

I love it!:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

64. Here we go -

California is the new Florida. (you're welcome, Patsy)

[Patsy Stone]

65. Oh my good goodness...

Look how spectacular she is! :)

[SharonRB]

68. Give me a frickin' break

Look how dumb she is! I'm embarrassed she's wearing a Pistons shirt!

[Sydnie]

71. Her boobs MUST be full of helium

She looks like she is struggling to stay in the seat... or she is just shaking her money makers for OUR Keef! Back Off Beyotch!

[RevCheesehead]

77. The boobs - maybe...

The head - definately.

[bunny planet]

81. She's the Elly May Clampett of porn and politics isn't she?

[RevCheesehead]

89. You got that right.

I kept thinking "little girl" - but Ellie May is just as good.

[Patsy Stone]

95. I think I love her.

But, I'm glad she's not a Dem. :)

[bunny planet]

101. She hits a lot of mattresses too, Patsela, that must be the attraction.

Can you imagine if she had attended a political event with the Big Dawg. That's all we'd be seeing or hearing about.

If she wants publicity for being naughty, she joined the wrong party.

They do all their screwing behind closed doors with the lights out.

[Patsy Stone]

132. LOL

That must be it. :)

I know, if she was within two states of him it would have been front page news. :mad:

[gkhouston]

111. is she *really* this dumb

or is she pretending to be this dumb? And, if so, how does she keep a straight face while doing it?

[RevCheesehead]

66. Watch it, bitch...

Keep those ta-tas away from our Keith. :grr:

[Berry Cool]

86. Was she shakin' those barely contained maracas or what??

The hair stroking, the wigglin' and gigglin'...yeah, she's hopin' for some action with our man, all right.

Let's just hope he remembers the immortal words of Cheap Trick:

"Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, 'Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch'"!

[RevCheesehead]

93. Send him an e-mail.

Right away. He's probably anal enough to check his mail before he "settles in to watch the game." :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

112. LOL, Ruth. I'm sure he takes "entertainment advice" from the KOEB!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

120. And unfortunately, it's not yet possible

through the miracle of modern science, to e-mail someone a condom. :shrug:

[gkhouston]

127. He's not stupid.

He's probably got some in his shaving kit as a matter of course, 'cause gosh, he might occasionally want them and not just when he's going to California and thinks he might run into a former porn actress. Sheesh. You guys make it sound like the poor man's just escaped from a monastery and he's hell-bent on breaking his vow of chastity before the Little Brothers of Unrequited Lustfulness recapture him.

[RevCheesehead]

150. It's that "born-again virgin" reference.

I mean, Keith was so fascinated with it, I figured he went for it. O8)

[gkhouston]

152. nah. He just loved the oxymoron (emphasis on "moron")

aspect of it. I don't think he's intellectually or emotionally dishonest enough to buy into the sort of "undoing" that revirginization implies. Case in point: he didn't try to side-step the ESPN question last night and he didn't try to blame other people or re-write history. His voice got really quiet and he looked down for a moment while he was talking about it, but he didn't try to "undo" the behavior he clearly regrets now.

[Berry Cool]

158. Bingo, gk!

One of the great things about Keith is his integrity and inner consistency.

[Berry Cool]

157. Aw, lighten up, gk...

...you know we're just havin' fun! :-)

[gkhouston]

163. sounded to me like a meeting of the

distaff order of the L.B. of U.L. As a lay sister of that order, I would never diss my companions in their moment of distress. ;-)

[Patsy Stone]

67. She's brilliant! :) n/t

[RevCheesehead]

69. "we both screw people"???

Look at Keith struggling to keep eye contact! :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

72. Oh, now I'm really embarrassed -- Go Pistons!

I can't believe he actually still said "Keep your knees loose." And what do you think they're going to do after the show? I know he likes young, well-endowed blondes. But I hope he at least likes them to have a brain.

[Berry Cool]

100. How do you "know" he likes "young, well-endowed blondes"?

I recall reading that on some board somewhere, but later on it turned out that the person who posted it was just a troll trying to pull everyone's leg pretending to know Keith personally when he really didn't. Bogus!!

[Berry Cool]

87. It was rather amusing to see Keef at such a loss for words.

Except that he somehow found enough presence of mind to SAY "Keep your knees loose"...and she GIGGLED!!!!

[RevCheesehead]

70. Oh!!!! I'm proven wrong!!!

Keith ends with "keep your knees loose" while the chicky giggles in the background.

I'm getting a BAD feeling about this.... :(

[SharonRB]

80. See my post above, Rev

I don't think they're going to play tiddlywinks while they watch the basketball game, do you?

[Berry Cool]

102. Well, one thing's for sure...

...if it were a BASEBALL game, he wouldn't be paying ONE PARTICLE of attention to her!!!!

Can't you just see them now?

"Keith, honey, why are you interested in this silly old game when you can be getting to first base with ME???? And a lot more? Hmmmmm?" (waving boobs in his face)

"Please. Could you move aside? I'm trying to keep my scorecard."

[Gogi]

141. Did'nt think KO liked basketball.

We can hope!

[gkhouston]

143. sure he does.

but it isn't baseball. 'Sides, he needs to start catching up with the sports scene, so he can chatter with Dan Patrick on Fridays, starting in August.

[WolverineDG]

84. Is it time for KOEB

to join forces with Stephanie Miller & go out & protect Keith?

I thought the interview was pretty funny, but Mary drove me nuts when she continually pulled on her ponytails.

I wasn't going to infuse basketball into my KOEB postings, but since Mary forced me into it by wearing a Pistons shirt, I gotta say

GO SPURS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

;)

dg

[SharonRB]

116. Go Pistons!

[bunny planet]

75. Get Surreal, that Mary Carey interview was ...........

there are really no words.

First time KO has somebody in the studio sitting right next to him for the interview that I can remember. Boobs bigger than Monica Novotny's head. Wild.

Alan Colmes gave her a teddy bear.

[RevCheesehead]

82. Pardon me while I go look

for my sack-cloth and ashes. :banghead:

[Berry Cool]

104. I think Keith needs to catch the red-eye home.

Either that, or WE need him to!!!!! :rofl:

Anyway, too bad he didn't say whether he'd be on tomorrow night or not. I figure it's not completely unthinkable, even with a bit of jet lag. But I'm so glad he's done such a yeoman's job on the West Coast. (Although he didn't exactly look as if he was suffering at the end of tonight's show...THE GAME, Keith! THE GAME!!!! Keep your mind focused on THE GAME!!!! Yeah, that's the ticket!!!!)

[gkhouston]

122. LOL

Get a grip, Rev. I don't think she's his type. She's got no boundaries and he's zipped up tight. I'm doubting she can even bag him for a one-night stand unless she gets him intoxicated. She sure as hell doesn't have enough brains, snark, or emotional depth to hold his interest longer than one night. None of our business, really, if he does decide to sleep with her, but I certainly don't see anything coming of it.

[Berry Cool]

125. I'm with you, gk.

I mean, not like we're flies on the wall or anything, but I think our KO is probably a more astute judge of women than that. Of course, for the crew who thinks "All men are just animals and all of them think with their *censored*"...I guess they don't think anyone is above one night in the hay with a...shall we put it politely..."professional"? But I prefer to have a slightly higher opinion of *all* men than that. Or well, at least, some men.

That doesn't mean that while their brains aren't saying "No way!," their bodies aren't trying to argue with them over it...I mean, they're only human...just means that in the case of some guys, the brain is more likely to win the battle...especially once they get over about 25! :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

153. Yeah, maybe -

but remember it was Botany AND Sparky, speaking of Alex Witt, saying "I'd snark her." I can just imagine what they'd say about M-C Booby. x(

[gkhouston]

154. there's a difference between saying and doing.

And there's a difference between um, talking about sleeping with a porn actress and actually doing so. Given the actual opportunity, I think Berry's right: a lot of guys over the age of 25, the above-the-collar brain kicks in and starts wondering about the number of partners and the risk of getting an STD. And yeah, she looked hot in the movie, but did she really like doing that or was she pretending to like doing that and will she really want to do that with you? (And if she does do it with you will she really be thinking of some porn star stud with a more impressive bat?)

[Berry Cool]

165. Yeah, it's sort of like, you look in the bakery and see all the cakes...

and you say, "Oh wow, I want to eat them ALL!"

...but would you?? Really??

Uh-oh, maybe saying "I want to eat them ALL" wasn't the best way to phrase this. :rofl:

[bleever]

103. Please see erudite response number 41 above.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

105. It just smelled like it was gonna be good from the get go!

How could it miss? :hi:

[Berry Cool]

107. Keith, I have two words of wisdom for you tonight...

.."Loofah."

"Falafel."

Keep them in mind. They will keep you on the straight and narrow, lest you be like certain people on other news channels who think nothing of becoming, ah, involved with people they, ah, ostensibly encounter for work-related reasons... *cough cough*

[Gogi]

129. Yeah but O'Really is a moralist and a married man.

KO is neither and what's the point in being a bachelor if you can't take
a pneumatic young blonde female out to a game and for *ahem* whatever afterwards?

[gkhouston]

135. O'Reilly is married? To what?

Does it have a power cord or is it a batteries-only model?

[Gogi]

137. A very long suffering woman!

Years ago she did'nt know her prince would turn into a frog, poor gal!

[gkhouston]

142. do you really think he was ever a prince of anything?

darkness, perhaps?

[Berry Cool]

160. No, gk...

...loofahs don't have batteries or power cords! :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

161. Excuse me, but I think that the proper term

is "falafel." :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

159. Something tells me KO ain't

THAT kinda bachelor...

[bleever]

118. "What's the difference between our Patsy Stone and Michael Jackson?"

"One has a nose for a joke, and the other has a joke for a nose."




Thank you. (Bows.)

[Berry Cool]

123. LOL!

And what's the difference between Michael Jackson and a supermarket shopping bag?

"One is white, plastic and dangerous for children to play with, and the other is used to carry groceries."


An old one, but still a classic.

(Still not as old as the one about why MJ went to Kmart...he saw their ad that said "Boys' Pants Half Off.")

[Patsy Stone]

131. That's hysterical!

Hi, Berry! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

128. Nice!

And thanks. :)

[Gogi]

126. It's a cryin' shame how far the Tonight Show has deteriorated under

Leno. Johnny Carson was reportedly disgusted, too. And the commercials! More commercials than show! :wtf: KO was much better than Martin Lawrence.



KO:loveya:

[crispini]

162. Ladies! I can't believe I missed this! :(

And I was even home for the rerun and forgot to turn it on. Anyone wanna give me the play by play for the Mary Carey interview? It sounds hysterical! :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

166. Hmm. I guess to avoid being a complete victim of my bad memory

I'll have to watch it and post the general gist of it to you. Unless dzika in his infinite wisdom takes pity on us again and sends us a clip.

I do recall certain parts of it quite well. I believe she was the first of Keith's guests ever to sit right next to him at the desk! (She did everything but actually reach out and stroke his hand or his arm, the way women do in bars when they're trying to pick up men!) Keith asked her why she was leaving the "respectable" business she was in to dirty herself in the world of politics! She also expressed her ideas as to how to raise revenue in California--she said that if she were lieutenant governor she'd have cameras installed in the mansion so "people can pay to see Arnold and me"! (I don't imagine Maria would be too happy about that!) And she also said it was all part of a plan to eventually run for President--and that if she were elected President Keith could be her Vice President--"or my First Man!" (To which I, of course, thought: "Mary, sweetheart, not only could Keith never be your 'first man,' but your 'first man' was so long ago YOU probably can't even remember!")

Mary was wearing her hair in two very long blond pigtails, which she stroked almost compulsively again and again and again during the interview, making sure they didn't obstruct Keith's or the camera's clear view of the Detroit Pistons shirt she had painted onto her breasts before the show (or at least it *looked* painted on). Good thing Keith didn't lean over to talk to her, or he could've fallen in the crevasse and it would've taken longer for the search party to find him than it did to find that lost Boy Scout. All through the whole thing, she wiggled and jiggled like the proverbial bowl of Jell-O, and also implied she and Keith would be watching the basketball game together after the show (to which he seemed rather noncommittal).

Classic quote of the night: Mary said what she has in common with the politicians is "We both screw people!"

Anyway, somehow after Keith got his eight minutes over with Mary, he had enough presence of mind to actually say "Keep your knees loose" (which made her giggle) and pitch the paper wad and say "We're through now" or "We're done now." Not sure whether that was for the camera guys or for Mary! LOL!

To sum it up: quite funny. I think Keith gets a kick out of rubbing the Repugs' nose in Mary. She's like the crazy aunt they'd just as soon keep in their attic, and Keith keeps dragging her downstairs and saying "Here she is! And she's all yours!!"

[crispini]

171. LOL! Thanks for the rundown.

I noticed MSNBC actually posted this so I'll get to see it tomorrow when I get back to the fast connection. :P

[gkhouston]

172. Berry left out that Mary has a tendency to use giggling as

punctuation. Whether it's an affectation, like the pigtail-stroking, or something she does when she's nervous or something she does all the time is anyone's guess. I'm hoping it's not an all-the-time thing -- I think I'd want to throttle someone if I were forced to spend a lot of time around them and they ended every phrase with a giggle.

And yes, there was a fair amount of cleavage on display. Perhaps she's demonstrating her best assets, but is it really the best way to convince folks that she's serious about her political aspirations? You want people to believe you're serious about politics, stop dressing and behaving like a fuck-bunny. It's getting her some PR, but is it going to get her campaign funds or endorsements or a significant percentage of the vote? I think she'd be better served to re-dye her hair a slightly more realistic shade of blonde, go for some outfits and hairstyles that make her look more like a grown woman instead of an extra from "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" and lose the dizzy blonde act. If she's got a few brains, she should show 'em.

[Berry Cool]

173. I expect the giggling is all part of an act she's done so long

she doesn't quite know how to stop it.

Keith says she's smarter than she lets on...perhaps she's got a bit of the Jayne Mansfield in her. I guess we'll find out when he tells us! In any case, Jayne may have been smart but her ploy to use sex to get ahead in the world largely backfired after her kind of sexuality went out of style...

One thing's for sure, playing up her porn-star past gets her a LOT of attention, and maybe that's what he's talking about. My question is: is it the best tack to take in the long run, if you want to be anything more than a nine days' wonder on the political scene? Right now she's like a two-headed calf: a geek attraction. If she really is serious about the politics and not just using it as another publicity stunt, though, she's going the wrong way about it.

Then again, I doubt her seriousness. I think she's out to get publicity for Mary, whatever that takes. If it means using people like the Repugs, so be it!

[gkhouston]

174. well, the sex angle *is* likely to get her more attention from

the Republicans than the Democrats. Not that the Democrats aren't equally horny, they just tend to be a little less repressed about admitting it.

[crispini]

175. Yeah, if she were a Democrat ex-porn star,

(or is she an ex-porn star? I guess not, so remove the ex-) I think the Democrats would basically go "so what, what's your position on the budget" and the Republicans would go "we told you so, they're all degenerates." This way she gets to play against expectations.

Ya know, we had a M2F transexual (Democrat, of course) running for city council in our last election, and she damn near won -- made the runoff. At that point, you just kind of think, "You know, really, who the hell cares?"

[gkhouston]

176. I wouldn't care if a candidate were transsexual

I'm more interested in what they're going to do in office than in what they do in the bedroom... living room... kitchen table... damn, it's a shame phone booths are no longer private... :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

177. Yeah, the difference is, Mary's purposely inserting her sexuality into...

the equation.

If she were serious, I'd think she'd say "OK, so I used to be a porn star, but that was another life, and now I am older and wiser and I want to put that in the past. I want to do something worthwhile with my life. I really do want to get into politics to help people." Instead, she comes off as a Pat Paulsen type...a novelty candidate. I mean, everyone knew Pat Pausen wasn't *really* running for President, it was just an extended joke. That's what Mary's like...an extended joke. When she talks about what she'd do if elected, it's all a joke...putting Web cams on her and Ahnold and the like. I guess when she was in the gubernatorial runoff, she said that part of her platform was that women with artificial breasts in California should be taxed and women with normal breasts should not be taxed. (Causing Jay Leno to say "See, that's good...she's reaching out to minorities.")

It will take more than giggling and maraca-shaking and coming on to every man she meets and voicing silly "platform ideas" and making jokes about "screwing people" to really become a viable candidate for public office. (And in case anyone is wondering, yes, I DID miss typing the "l" in "public" the first time.) But possibly what Keith sees in all this is a woman who's very smart about how to get herself lots of publicity, and not afraid to embarrass a few people who deserve embarrassing in the process. And think about it--how many porn stars get known in the mainstream? This one will always be known as "the one who ran for public office." She may consider that alone an accomplishment, especially once she feels she's too old to make any more money off "the life."
