KOEB 3/26/08 - Hillary's positive's are down edition

[SharonRB]

[Berry Cool]

1. Hi, Sha-Sha!

:hi: The kitchen sink has been drained, hasn't it?

[SeattleGirl]

4. What's next? The bathtub?

Or the toilet?

[Berry Cool]

22. Toilet came into it long ago.

The poo-flinging has been going on forever.

[SeattleGirl]

29. True.

:puke:

[WolverineDG]

2. Were they ever up?

jeezus. I wish she'd drop out for the good of the party.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

7. Hi DG!

Bill is breaking my heart.

I always admired him (though I was totally pissed about Monica), but more often than not, I look at him askance these days. :(

[WolverineDG]

13. Yup

I'm really pissed off because I took a LOT of flak standing up for him in the 90s.

dg

[Berry Cool]

25. If you think you guys feel bad

imagine how it must be for Keith. I don't think he imagined himself in this position a year ago.

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi Sharon! Howdy all!

My goodness, but I'm tired! Have just completed a marathon project for work, and I have two more to do by the end of the day Friday, but I just can't do anything on them right now.

:hi:

:boring:

[Berry Cool]

Hey Wolfie and SG!

:hi: Did Bill just say they were beating up on a GIRL???? And then say that Obama's not tough enough????

[SeattleGirl]

I think so.

Oy.

[WolverineDG]

9. Yeah, bringing up the facts =

beating up on a girl.

Jeezus.

:eyes:

[GigiMommy]

5. Hi Sharon!! Hi Everybody!!

:hi: Bill...HUSH!!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

10. Hi Gigi!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

16. Hi SG!! Freckles is HOME!!

:hi: Hope you're doing well!

[SeattleGirl]

17. Hi Freckles!!!!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

Hi GigiMommy!!

:hi: I can't BELIEVE it. Bill accuses Obama of "picking on a girl," yet says Obama has no right to complain about being attacked because if he wants to play the game he needs to put on the shoulder pads!

That's the dirtiest pool in the world!

It's like being a girl who beats up all the boys at school and then, if one fights back and bloodies your nose, bursting into tears and saying "You're not supposed to hit a GIRL!"

[GigiMommy]

27. SOOOOO True!

:hi:

[ralps]

6. Hi SharonRB, Hi Everyone!

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

[SeattleGirl]

11. Hi ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

15. Hi SeattleGirl!!

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

33. Hi ralps!

And GGM, I'm glad your furry one is home!

[ralps]

39. Hi BerryBush!

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

[GigiMommy]

32. Hi Ralps!

:hi: Cassie LOVES your hula kitty!

[ralps]

40. Hi GigiMommy! Thanks! & Hugs to Cassie & Freckles!

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

[SharonRB]

8. Hi, everyone!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

12. I sure hope all those people who say they won't vote for whoever

doesn't get the nomination come around by November. We can't afford to let McCain win.

[SeattleGirl]

20. I would like to know who is being polled.

I agree that the Dems are doing harm to the party right now, but McCain???? Beating Obama and Hilary?

Did they go to the RNC to do these polls?

[SharonRB]

26. I've heard enough people on DU alone say they won't vote

for the other candidate, so I believe the numbers.

[SharonRB]

14. Did anyone see that Gravel is leaving the party

and joining the Libertarian Party?

[Berry Cool]

18. Ai yi yi.

Don't know what difference it will make.

[SharonRB]

19. Unless he runs as a Libertarian

and pulls some votes from our candidate.

[ralps]

24. SharonRB, from what I heard of Mike Malloy's interview with Gravel, Gravel almost

seemed Libertarian! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :shrug:

[SharonRB]

30. He and Ron Paul could run together

and they'd probably pull a lot of votes from both sides.

[Patsy Stone]

67. I feel cheated

we never had a Ron Paul/Mike Gravel debate. That would have been high comedy!

Seen on the back window of a car on the drive home, written in white shoe polish: "Ron Paul, not Obama, can beat McCain".

Otay. How's that working out for ya?

[SharonRB]

71. ........

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

21. Democrate on Democrate Violence

:rofl: OK that WAS funny.

[SharonRB]

23. Made me laugh, too

:rofl:

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

28. Open letter to Clinton Donors

Go fuck yourselves.

dg

[ralps]

31. Well to those Big Money Clinton backers I say there's a new game in town with

Internet fundraising!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :grr:

[SeattleGirl]

34. Ooops. I think Jonathan Alter just made the list!

He just said, out loud, on the television machine, that Clinton's campaign was in the death throws. Yoiks!

[SharonRB]

35. I wish she'd succumb already

Enough is enough. It's starting to get embarrassing.

[SeattleGirl]

36. I know.

I have been a long-time admirer of hers, and defended her and Bill plenty, but I am now completely disillusioned. I hate getting my heart broken. :cry:

[Berry Cool]

62. Oh, he's in the Hillary supporters' doghouse already.

Some weeks ago he published an article saying the math was against Hillary and she could not win. Since then, Hillary's supporters have gone so far as to make fun of his "chemo hair." I chided one for that and his retort was that it was stupid of me to expect him to lay off Alter just because he had cancer. I said I was not expecting him to lay off Alter because he had cancer, I was asking him to not make fun of his hair because when one has been through chemo, people making fun of one's hair is just bad taste. (Unless one does it oneself).

In other words, if you want to ridicule him, ridicule him for HIMSELF--not his hair, which he can't now help.

[ralps]

37. By the way, have you all signed the Firedoglake FEC complaint against McCain

petition yet? Here's the link- http://action.firedoglake.com/page/petition/mccainfec

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

[SeattleGirl]

41. Just did.

Thanks ralps!

[ralps]

44. Cool!! Thanks!

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

[SharonRB]

51. I signed it this afternoon.

[GigiMommy]

73. Just did!

:headbang:

[Berry Cool]

114. 'Tis signed!

[SharonRB]

45. Michigan primary statute has been declared unconstitutional

http://www.michiganliberal.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=11761

The judge ruled that it's as if it never took place. This lawsuit was brought because the lists that were compiled from the primary were only going to be made available to the parties and would not be public information. That part of the statute was declared unconstitutional, thus voiding the whole thing. At least that's how I undertstand it.

[WolverineDG]

49. Le Oops

Does this mean all the Hillary delegates go bye-bye?

dg

[SharonRB]

50. There was no way they were going to get seated from that primary anyway

Now I have no idea what's going to happen.

[ralps]

52. Oh My!! Does that mean that you all are going to vote over again?

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

[SharonRB]

55. They've already determined we can't have a new primary

I'm not sure if they're going to be able to work out a caucus or mail-in yet, but it's not looking good. We'll have to see if this ruling changes anything. The Secretary of State is not going to appeal the decision.

[SeattleGirl]

60. What a mess.

You know, I'm pissed at Hilary for trying to jerry rig this thing any way she can, but the people I'm the most angry at are in the Michigan Democratic party for moving the voting date in the first place. End result is anyone who voted in the Dem primary is disenfranchised, and that doesn't sit well with me at all.

Crap, I thought it was the Repukes who liked to disenfranchise Democratic voters, but oops! Not this time. x(

[GigiMommy]

58. Oh goodness...

what a mess! This just hasn't been a good year for Michigan politics.

[SharonRB]

61. No kidding!

We've become such a joke.

[Patsy Stone]

88. Been there

Still there. :eyes:

[WolverineDG]

46. BS-nia Conflict

I LOVE YOU, CAPTION PEOPLE!!! :loveya:

dg

[Botany]

48. Hello DG Hello DG

Come on you lawyer you ...

"Now, that is my memory of it,"

Does consul have a follow up question?

[WolverineDG]

54. Anything further you wish to add?

Sometimes, the best strategy is to let your opponent talk & talk & talk & talk & keep digging themselves further into a hole.

dg

[Botany]

59. I learned that in my trial

My lawyer told me tell the truth because it gets real
hard to remember the lies.

"Now, that is my memory of it." :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

53. I'm late!

:hi:, all!

[SeattleGirl]

56. Patsy!!!

Nice to see you, girl!! :loveya: :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

63. You too!

:loveya:

I admit, I'm not paying too much attention to the show, but I had to come in for the laughs and the drinks.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

65. Here you go, doll!

[Patsy Stone]

70. Yum!

Que delicioso!

[SharonRB]

57. Hi, Pats!

Look a few posts up about the Michigan primary. The statute that created it has been ruled unconstitutional -- it's as if it never took place.

[Patsy Stone]

68. Poor Hillary.

And poor Michigan.

[Berry Cool]

66. Hi Pats!

:hi: Just in time for Keith's latest tribute to a member of Bob and Ray. At least he didn't repeat the Watergate story again.

But he ADMITTED the Yankees are his favorite team!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! :rofl: And Chris Elliot gave him a box of tissues with a Red Sox logo on it!! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

87. Loved that story

Also the part about Chris not knowing what his father did for a living until he was 12.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

124. Just watched it again

It was Bob, not Chris, who gave him the box of tissues. LOL.

[GigiMommy]

89. Hi Patsy!!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

91. Hi!

How's Freckles doing?

[GigiMommy]

107. Just resting comfortably.

Being VERY quiet. Glad she's home.

[Patsy Stone]

110. I'm sure you are

And I'm sure she's is...

Kiss her on her head for me.

[Botany]

64. Edmund Hillary topped Everest May 29 1953

Hillary Clinton Born Oct. 26 1947

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

72. Pats made it just in time.

Keith needs to be told to sit on the back of his jacket again.

[Berry Cool]

77. I was experiencing visual dissonance there.

I'm looking at the screen and thinking "John McCain flew somewhere today on the space shuttle?!?" :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

81. LOL! I thought the same thing at first.

:spray:

[Patsy Stone]

85. Did they call each other to make sure they matched?

Pinstripe suits for everyone!

[WolverineDG]

74. I used to tell folks I was named after Gene Kelly

because it was too embarassing to tell them I was really named after an Irish drinking song made popular by Mitch Miller.

:blush:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

80. ROFL!

:rofl:

Better than me, though. When Jack Ruby shot Oswald, every kid in my school made fun of ME, because my first name is the same as one of names (no, NOT Jack). x(

Oh, and another of my names is the same as one of Oswalds.

Boy, kids can be REALLY REALLY mean.

[Berry Cool]

83. But why?

I once knew a Sherry who was named after the Four Seasons song. Really.

[SeattleGirl]

75. RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[GigiMommy]

76. RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[WolverineDG]

78. OMG, they're dressing them like twins!

:rofl:

dg

[Botany]

79. Rachel & Keith's suits

Victor / Victoria



:hi: KO staff

[Patsy Stone]

97. Aw... Julie...

:loveya:

Can't wait to read her new autobiography:

[Patsy Stone]

82. Shallow comment alert!

I don't like Rachel's makeup; it makes her look washed out.

But, Rachel? :loveya:

[SharonRB]

84. Her skin is just beautiful

So smooth.

Don't forget Poland. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

90. I laughed heartily right thurrr.

Yes, she has lovely skin. In my next life, that's me.

[Berry Cool]

86. Actually I thought she looked nice tonight.

As she usually does.

I guess she goes for the toilet humor despite herself. Keith's bad Depends joke made her laugh twice.

[Patsy Stone]

92. The lipstick was a bit pale.

The eye makeup was a little dull; and a some blush would have worked wonders.

But, all that said, she's still my girl crush. :)

[SharonRB]

93. But she did have blush on

Maybe it's your teevee.

[Patsy Stone]

121. I'll look at it again later, if I remember.

If she was wearing blush, it didn't look like enough for TV. But I'm sure she looked beautiful in person.

[Berry Cool]

95. WHOOO! Keith just unleashed another mini-Special Comment on Wally World!!!!!

I hope they're covered in asbestos...and that they get cancer from it!!!!!

Keith flamed 'em like they deserve...he made it clear he doesn't think they're evil by definition, but when the shoe fits.....! :scared:

[GigiMommy]

94. Walmart SUCKS!!!

Glad I NEVER shop there!

[TahitiNut]

98. They got her $470,000 - she lost her son

Even "evil" sounds too good for such deeply despicable corporate predation.

[SharonRB]

102. Hi, Tahiti!

Welcome to the KOEB.

How do you like the ruling by Judge Edmonds? It's as if our primary never took place. Now what do you think they'll do?

[TahitiNut]

123. Hiya, good neighbor!

There're DEFINITELY pheromones in the air here. :evilgrin: I finally mustered up the courage to drag my testosterone-poisoned carcass over in solidarity with y'all ... in light of the "dead to me" reactionary zealots' (alleged) evacuation.
:silly:

The summary judgement by Edmonds is interesting. It addresses but one aspect of the enormous turd that the FUBAR of the Primary ... but it can't and won't unring the bell.

Poor Hillary! So close and yet so far. More eggs she counted that won't hatch. :nopity:

Still ... the VOTERS are screwed. No primary campaign funds spent in the state. No Democratic candidate directly addressing the MAJOR concerns of the VOTERS of Michigan. It's beyond disgusting.

[SharonRB]

125. I'm in total agreement.

They're going to have to figure something out now that the entire state, including Hillary's voters, have been disenfranchised.

Mark Grebner had an interesting idea over at MichLib. Do some polls and base the delegate count on the results of the polls.

[Patsy Stone]

103. Hi!

Nice to see you.

[Berry Cool]

116. Hi, Tahiti!

:hi: Welcome to our humble abode!

[GigiMommy]

117. Hi Tahiti!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

100. Me neither

I don't think I've ever stepped foot in one.

[Berry Cool]

101. Anyone else get a feeling that Keith is about to blow?

I mean, he's just simmering under the surface, you can tell. It won't be long before someone says or does something that is going to set him off again, and when they do, duck for cover!!

[Botany]

96. I will never shop @ a Wal-Mart

They just bought themselves 25 million worth of bad press.

[TahitiNut]

104. Shop there ... hell, they're lucky I'm opposed to arson.

They deserve to have all their buildings AND homes burned to the ground. :grr: :grr:

[Botany]

111. Well to some of us we have some dear friends who work @ Wal-Mart

but the company is nasty

[Patsy Stone]

99. David Archuleta

Did, indeed, sound like he was singing at a theme park.

[Berry Cool]

106. Wonder why we didn't get the Princess last week.

Keith is trying to compare young singers to baseball pitchers. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

108. What do you suppose

he's focused on? LOL!

[SeattleGirl]

105. Hate to say this, but Wal-Mart is not alone in that.

My (private) company contracts with Washington State Dept. of Labor & Industries; that's where our work comes from.

Occasionally, we get a client who was injured as the direct result of a third party, much in the way the woman who worked at Wal-Mart. By law, L&I can get their money back when a client gets a settlement from the 3rd party. I haven't heard that they have had to sue the client; rather, it's right there in the paperwork you file when you have a claim. If you are injured by a third party (i.e. not by someone or something directly employed by your company), the Department has the right to recoup any and all monies they spent in your medical care and timeloss.

Sucks, but there it is.

[Berry Cool]

109. Man, Keith is CRANKY tonight!

He's even getting cranky with the AI Princess! :rofl:

Hoping it's nothing a good baseball game won't cure.

[Berry Cool]

112. Oh boy, he just plugged his Sunday show and rushed through his signoff.

I have a funny feeling he won't show up the rest of this week. Could be wrong, but oh well!

Now how long do we have to wait for Stephie on Dan Abrams (bow-chicka-bow-wow)?

[SeattleGirl]

115. He's probably impatient for beesball to start.

But then, so am I! I'm going to opening day on Monday! Woohoo!!

[Berry Cool]

119. Good for you!

One of the prizes being offered at the silent auction at Steph's event was a baseball "basket" containing a pair of tix to the Indians' home opener. I was tempted to bid on it, but, as I told Bot, if it's anything like last year, they'll have to call the game on account of snow.

[SeattleGirl]

120. Yep. The Mariners were the opposing team, I think.

They had to make up so many games last year that got rained and snowed out, it was ridiculous.

[Berry Cool]

122. Don't remind me.

Mike Hargrove, ex-Indians manager and Human Rain Delay, ending one game when the Indians were winning, just shy of the number of innings that would have made it LEGAL...

And then he leaves the Mariners.

Ass.

[Berry Cool]

118. Well, fine, but they should recover that money from the third party who paid out.

They should NOT have to sue the client, and they should NOT demand more than was paid out by the third party!!!!

Editing: Read up on this and the thing is, the woman's family got $1 million plus, but most of that went for legal expenses and what they had left over was less than what Wally paid out for her care. They thought they could keep the money for her perpetual future care, but noooooo!

So what we have here is, Wal-Mart is technically in the right, but, as Keith said, what would it have cost them to just make an exception in this case and let this family keep the money as an exceptional case, vs. all the bad publicity they have bought themselves by doing this???

It's wacked. The family is devastated. Not only did they lose a son in Iraq (oh, but he VOLUNTEERED, Cheney would say), the husband is recovering from prostate cancer, and he had to divorce her because otherwise she wouldn't be eligible for Medicare.

[Botany]

113. Engaged in what?

:rofl:
