KOEB - 4-2-08 - What? Wasn't KO invited to his own party edition?

[SharonRB]

[RevCheesehead]

1. snarf!

:rofl:

:hi: Hi, Sharon!

[SharonRB]

5. Maybe the party doesn't start until 9

and he'll make a grand entrance, as the honoree.

[Berry Cool]

8. Hi Rev!

And he looks SOOOOOO yummy in his black suit, white shirt and Donald Trump tie!!!! :loveya:

I'm glad I'm taking chances on seeing him!

[RevCheesehead]

20. Hi Berry!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

51. Rev!!!!

:loveya: :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

56. LOL!

I just waved at you downthread! :)

[Berry Cool]

2. How bizarre!

Is he going late to his own party?

Hi, Sha-Sha!! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

6. Looks taped

And he's probably drinking as we speak. :hi:

[SharonRB]

10. I wondered if it might be.

How can you tell, though?

[Patsy Stone]

14. It's light outside

and it's dark here. Plus, no "LIVE" dingbat in the corner.

[SharonRB]

17. Does he always have the "Live" bug on during the first running

of the show?

[Patsy Stone]

32. Yes, ma'am. n/t

[Berry Cool]

36. Yes, he does.

The only times it disappears is when they're running footage of earlier events, B-roll, etc.

They're very scrupulous about putting it up and taking it off.

[SeattleGirl]

53. Hey Patsy!

:loveya: :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

65. Hey, hon!

Could John McCain seem any older? Can't wait to see him debate Obama.

:loveya:

[Berry Cool]

16. I believe you are right, madam.

:hi: Pats!

[SharonRB]

9. Hi, Berry

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

3. Hey, Sharon!

Hello, everyone. :hi:

Oh, goody! A Puppet Theater retrospective.

[SharonRB]

7. Hi, Pats

:hi:

Looks like a good show.

[ralps]

4. Hi SharonRB, Hi Everyone!

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

[Patsy Stone]

11. Hi, ralps and Crook

:hi:

[ralps]

22. Hi Patsy!

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

[Berry Cool]

13. That's the secret, folks: NO LIVE BUG!!!!!!!

That's why it looks so LIGHT outside behind him!!!!!

That little devil. He prerecorded for us. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

15. He didn't want to disappoint us

Yay, Keith!

[Patsy Stone]

23. That was so sweet of him.

(sigh)

[Berry Cool]

39. He's just being so good to us this week.

I don't trust him. He's got something up his sleeve.

[Patsy Stone]

61. 7:05 p.m., Thursday, April 3rd?

Yankees vs. Toronto?

[RevCheesehead]

67. That's good for me...

I'll be in Whitewater, away from the 'puter.

Keith, you have my permission to be away tomorrow. ;)

[Berry Cool]

81. I'm sure he'll rest easier tonight knowing that!

As for me, I want him to pay us a small penalty.

Chocolate.

[Berry Cool]

77. Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of

"announcing his engagement to Katy at the party tonight."

Wedding to take place after all the election hoopla is over.

But yeah, it could be another case of baseball hooky. After all, man does not live by Countdown alone.

He could tape for us again, and skootch out to the ballpark. All he has to do is hope nothing newsworthy happens.

[Berry Cool]

19. Hi, ralps & crook!

:hi:

[ralps]

25. Hi BerryBush!

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

[RevCheesehead]

45. Hey ralps - Oreo sends her love!

The other two are burping up the fresh grass they got today!
Yes - there is grass growing along the foundation of the house! :bounce::bounce:

[Berry Cool]

66. Hurray! Your cats are vomiting!

They're upchucking! They're...um...uh...well. :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

73. A sure sign of the return of Spring.

If they were outdoors, they'd be stalking birdies.
I'll take the vomit, thank you. :)

[Berry Cool]

165. As for my indoor cats, they puke all year round.

Any time of year is a good time for the great slimy feel of cat puke on your naked foot! :puke:

[ralps]

72. Hi RevCheesehead, How are you all doing & Hi to Oreo, CC & lil' Keith! by the

way crook really seems to like the new Fancy Feast w/ Garden Greens! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

76. Yeah - those are favorites here, too.

Oreo especially likes the salmon and whipped egg souffle w/greens. :9

[ralps]

78. & Crook is Meowing Hi to you all! Sometime I'm going to have to record him &

post it on line! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

83. Awww....

what a good kitty! :meow:

[SeattleGirl]

55. ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

74. Hi SeattleGirl!!

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

[SharonRB]

12. Wyoming has a Jewish governor?

At least I assume Friedenthal is Jewish.

[Patsy Stone]

18. If so, it's a mechiah!

Richard live in studio, in the new glasses. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

24. And a new haircut.

It's not only a mechiah, it's a miracle!

[Patsy Stone]

26. How many Jews live in Wyoming?

Five? Wow. Now, I have to go and find out if he's Jewish.

[RevCheesehead]

30. Both of them.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

34. Very small synagogue.

In the toolshed.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

37. See my post -- I already checked

He's not. I still don't know how they elected a Democrat, though.

And what's with Howie changing the way he parts his hair? He looks odd.

[RevCheesehead]

40. He looks like Conan O'Bryan's dad.

:P

[SharonRB]

33. I was wrong

He's Episcopalian

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Freudenthal

[Patsy Stone]

43. I was just coming to post that.

Oh, well; it was nice while it lasted. :)

[liberalla]

21. Wolfie in the house!!!

Greetings, all!

[Berry Cool]

29. Hi liberalla!

:hi: We're all here to see Prerecorded Keith.

I think he should do this EVERY time he plans a one-off night. I can see how it's not possible if he goes away for a week's vacation and doesn't want to have to work, or gets sick, but...

Note: Keith mentions that Obama "got whacked" by him for mentioning Reagan.

As for me, I can't believe Hillary stooped to that old pony joke. That one is even older than Reagan!

[RevCheesehead]

47. Hi, liberalla!

It's nice to have you with us tonight! :hi:

[liberalla]

180. Hello to you, too!

I noticed you're a cheesehead... what part of WI are you in? Are you near De Soto, WI?

[RevCheesehead]

181. East of Green Bay on the lake...

City of Algoma. It has its charming moments... until you meet some of the people. :eyes:

Where is De Soto? :blush:
And who do you know there?

[liberalla]

184. I think it's about 30 miles south of LaCrosse.

I have a cousin in Wisconsin not too far from Madison. I don't know anyone in De Soto, but I'm interested in buying some property there. I thought maybe you knew the area.
:shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

185. I haven't spent much time in that area.

I lived in Eau Claire for 2 years, but didn't wander much, except to visit my parents in Fort Atkinson/Whitewater area. I also have a good friend who lives in Onalaska, but I haven't been to her place. We do the e-mail thing. :)

[SeattleGirl]

Hi liberalla!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

95. Hi, liberalla!

Nice to see you again. :hi:

[GigiMommy]

101. Hi Liberalla!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

27. Hello Everybody!!!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

38. Hi, Gigi

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

82. Hi Sharon!!

:hi: I know you heard about Debbie's husband. Did that happen in the SAME Residence Inn that Kwame and Christine "got together"?

[SharonRB]

88. LOL

I just posted downthread about it. I don't know if it's the same Residence Inn, but it was in the Big Beaver corridor. Can't wait to see if Stephie picks up on it.

[RevCheesehead]

49. Hi Gigi and Cassie!

How's Freckles doing? :hi:

[GigiMommy]

75. Hi Rev!!

:hi: We're fine. Freckles is her old(young) self again. She gets her stitches out tomorrow.

[RevCheesehead]

79. Does she get Pity treats?

If so, give her a Milkbone for me. :)

[GigiMommy]

91. She's gotten treats and rubs and lots of hugs.

But I'll give her one more and say it's from a good friend!

[Berry Cool]

111. Same here!

Those stitches are gonna itch!

[SeattleGirl]

58. Gigi!!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

86. Hi SG!!

:hi: Hope you're doing well!

[SeattleGirl]

133. I am!

Hope you are too!

[SeattleGirl]

28. Hi Sharon! Howdy all!

Dang, the power strip the TV and cable box were plugged into went out just after Countdown started, so I had to scramble to get another one.

So, I'm heeeeeeeeeere!!!!! :hi:

[SharonRB]

42. Hi, SG

Glad you've got power!

[SeattleGirl]

46. Me too! I'd hate to miss the party!

[RevCheesehead]

54. Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlll!

:loveya::hi:

Seattle Girl Power. :thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

59. You know it!

:hi: :loveya:

[WolverineDG]

31. What party?

I don't ever get the invites. :cry:

:hi:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

35. It's a party, now that you are here!

:hug: :party: :hug:

[WolverineDG]

50. Ooh, a surprise party

for me! :bounce: :bounce:

:loveya: KOEB!

dg

[RevCheesehead]

60. And the surprise is....

Botany's gonna jump out of the cake, wearing only a thong.

[SharonRB]

41. Hi, DG

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

44. Hi GGM, SG and Wolfie!

:hi: Glad you're here!!

[SeattleGirl]

48. Hi Berry!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

52. Welcome to the KOEB Countdown Fifth Anniversary Party!

We may not be anywhere near CNN, but we have our own Cupcake Tower!



Edit: The cakes did not need to be big with Bot jumping out of one, because...well, you know. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

57. This thread needs a picture of Keith.

Otherwise, it's like he's not at the party.

[SeattleGirl]

80. Here you go, Berry!

[Berry Cool]

115. Thank you!

[GigiMommy]

113. Hey Berry!

:hi: Glad you're here too. Wouldn't be a party without you.

[SeattleGirl]

63. Hi DG!

You can be my date! :hi:

[bleever]

62. I'm not really here.

This post was pre-recorded.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

64. Pre-recorded response:

:hi:

[bleever]

141. Cue "Girl from Ipanema"

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

90. Hi bleev!

And you can tell I'm here, because this bug is live:

[bleever]

144. But it's not in the corner of the screen.

Nice try!



:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

94. existentially speaking....

are ANY of us really here? :hi:

[Berry Cool]

124. Now you sound like Keith.

[RevCheesehead]

126. Thank you!

:hug:

[bleever]

150. Dorito ergo sum.

[RevCheesehead]

172. LOL!

"I crunch, therefore I am."

[bleever]

178. "Can God make a snack so tasty

that He Himself cannot eat just one?"

[SeattleGirl]

68. RACHEL!!!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[liberalla]

166. Hi Seattle Girl!

I'm promoting a Rachel Maddow DU Appreciation Group over here:

* Rachel Maddow * deserves her own DU group! Who agrees with me?

Whadya think?

[SharonRB]

169. Great idea. liberalla

I chimed in on your thread.

[liberalla]

177. Hey, Thanks! I appreciate that !

I love it that Keith promotes her so much! They must compare notes, because she covers many of the same things on her talk show that he he covers on his show. Often, a day or two before everyone else picks it up.



Anyone else who thinks we should have a Rachel Maddow DU Group, please consider adding on over here:

* Rachel Maddow * deserves her own DU group! Who agrees with me?

Thanks!

[Patsy Stone]

170. Nice!

I gave that idea a Rec. :thumbsup:

[liberalla]

179. And, thanks much to you, too!

:toast:

[GigiMommy]

69. RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[liberalla]

176. Hi GigiMommy! Fellow Rachel fan!

* Rachel Maddow * deserves her own DU group! Who agrees with me?

[liberalla]

70. RACHEL's ON !!!! Yeah !!!!

[Patsy Stone]

71. Hello, Rachel!

:loveya:

I'm glad he had her on earlier in the show. I think he needs to move the McCain stuff up front.

[liberalla]

84. McCain needs MUCH more coverage

You're so right!

edit: Much *closer* inspection is what I mean. Where's the microscope?

[RevCheesehead]

103. oops - wrong reply!

[Patsy Stone]

122. Let's take a good long look

at John Hagee and Rod Parsley. Plenty of material there to play on endless loop for a few news cycles.

[Berry Cool]

128. Yes, he should really get on McCain's case

like Dan Abrams does with his "Teflon John" feature.

[SharonRB]

Debbie Stabenow's husband was caught in a prostitution sting

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080402/NEWS06/80402038

Please note that this took place in the Big Beaver corridor. I wonder if Stephie knows about it and will discuss it tomorrow.

So far, I haven't seen her at any presser standing by his side. This is no reflection on her, and I hope we never see that now-cliched image.

[RevCheesehead]

108. I realize that's the name of the place,...

but really? :rofl:

[SharonRB]

116. Sounds like you don't know what I'm talking about

Exit number 69 off of I-75 is Big Beaver Road. The area is called the Big Beaver corridor. Stephie has joked about it many times. The hotel where the sting took place is located in that area.

[RevCheesehead]

121. Oh, I know what you're talking about....

I was making the post PG, since Cassie may still be in da house!

[SharonRB]

130. LOL

Hopefully she has no idea what we're talking about.

[GigiMommy]

155. Hee hee hee...

She upstairs watching the Kim Possible Movie on the Disney Channel.:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

134. It's just TOO perfect that it should have been there!

[GigiMommy]

147. And you know...

when you take I-75 North to Big Beaver Rd. Man I need to refresh sooner. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

149. Beat ya to it

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=114617&mesg_id=114736

:rofl:

[bunny planet]

85. Hey, I thought we'd be calling this one the George W. Bush Sewage Plant edition

Howdy KOEB. Wish me luck, I fly out to California tomorrow for a show I've got a lot of work in. My first trip to LA. In other news, I sold four pieces in NYC. Yippee.

Keith looks swell tonight, I love the pink tie and the black suit. Yum and double yum.

[SeattleGirl]

87. Hi bunny!

:hi:

[bunny planet]

92. Hiya SG.

How's by you doll?

[SeattleGirl]

96. Pretty good!

Hope your trip goes well!

[bunny planet]

106. Thank you.

[Berry Cool]

97. Keith's cracking me up tonight.

"Jeb--the OTHER white Bush."

"Clap on, clap off, clap on, clap off, clap on, clap off, says Clapper."

Between that and the goofy imitations he's doing, I'm wheezing.

He's just tossin' 'em off tonight.

[SharonRB]

93. Congrats on the sales and

have a great trip to Californeeeya.

[bunny planet]

100. Were you trying to spell like the Governator says it.

Kaliforneeya.

[SharonRB]

102. Yeah, but I knew I got it wrong.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

118. I'm likin' all these standups from Keith this week.

He should do more of them again.

[Patsy Stone]

99. Yeah, baby!

Bon voyage, be safe, and many congrats!

:bounce:

:loveya:

[bunny planet]

105. Thank you Pats.

I'm psyched. The curator is picking me up from my hotel tomorrow night and taking me to see all the cheezy sites, like the Hollywood sign and Grauman's Chinese. Can't wait. Going to see two buddies from college who live out there and my best friend's brother and his wife. Wish Mr. Bunny could've come but he's got too much work and the offspring has an important event out here.

[Patsy Stone]

117. Have a great time.

I've only been there twice, and I saw no cheese. :(

Sorry the hubby couldn't go. That would have been a blast.

[Berry Cool]

140. Well, have fun on your bachelorette visit to LA.

Sounds like a great time.

[RevCheesehead]

114. Luck!

Hiya, Thumper. I hope you have a faboo trip, and get a good dose of play in there with work. :)

[bunny planet]

131. Thank you Rev. I'm sure going to try. Openings are the fun part anyway so it'll be

a great time (except for the flying part which I hate). This is the best kind, none of the stress of carrying your own show, but lots more than just one piece in a group show so it gives people a really good idea of what you do and gives you something to talk about.

[RevCheesehead]

142. When you get to the Walk of Fame,

ask them where Keith's star is, OK?

[bunny planet]

151. Will do.

He deserves one that's for sure.

[Berry Cool]

138. Hi Bun-Bun!

Congratulations, glad you could make it. Have a cupcake!

I agree with you about Keith's yumminess.

[RevCheesehead]

146. are you allowed to use "Keith's yumminess" and "cupcake" in the same post?

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

158. Hi Bunny!!

:hi: Have a safe trip!

[Botany]

104. Our good friends from the House of Saud

Home of radical Whabbism, the bin Laden Family, 15 of the 19 hijackers,
and the money behind al Qaeda, the Taliban, and the attacks on U.S. troops
in Iraq.

[SeattleGirl]

110. But, but, but.....

pResident Monkeypants holds hands with them, so they can't be THAT bad! :eyes:

[Botany]

123. They helped pay to fix the 2004 election ..... a little check for 30 Million ...

.... went to a bank in Monteral in late Oct. 2004 and pumped
more oil in 2004 to push down gas prices too.

[RevCheesehead]

119. Oh, Cuddles.....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=114617&mesg_id=114678

[Botany]

143. I am tired of being looked @ like a piece of meat

:cry:



I have feelings too.

[RevCheesehead]

173. It's Steph's fault.

If only she hadn't found you so damned cuddly.

[SharonRB]

107. Flying penguins?

WTF?

[Patsy Stone]

112. It was a BBC April Fool's joke.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

109. "Flight of the Penguins"

:rofl:

Thanks for showing that, Keith. Love me some Terry Jones.

[bunny planet]

120. Seems as if Hill and Bill got on the derailed straight talk express when McClueless

left it by the side of the road. What is up with them. Doesn't Bill know the wagging finger thing doesn't go over well for anybody, least of all him. I feel kind of sad at how messed up they've turned out to be this time around. I wish Bill had gone out with his reputation restored like it had been a few months ago due to comparisons to His Fraudulency's reign.

[Patsy Stone]

125. That finger

is always (ALWAYS) a bad idea.

[Berry Cool]

148. Bill just isn't in a very good position to waggle fingers at anyone.

Every time he does it, I'm reminded of Rafael Palmeiro wagging his finger as he claimed he did not use steroids.

Oh goody!!! Keith's on Steve Doocy's case again! That means he'll do his Bullwinkle impression again!! :bounce:

But I also expected him to name Glenn Beck WPITW for DEFENDING WAL-MART!!!!! :banghead:

[SeattleGirl]

127. Bush: "But I never SAID stay the course!!!"

Asshat!!

[Patsy Stone]

129. How many "Stay the Course"s did we end up with?

I walked away at 27.

[SharonRB]

132. I think it was 29.

[RevCheesehead]

135. A brazillion.

:yoiks:


(it's a Lounge thing...)

[Patsy Stone]

152. ...

:spray:

[Patsy Stone]

136. His face was so thin

And this Special Comment was from January, 2007. I like it better now. He looked a bit sickly.

[bunny planet]

139. Oh this is great, I hope my mom and sister in law are watching this.

But of course, they are probably not.
All those turning points and we are still stuck in the mud.

What just happened to Howard Fineman. He said wow and then he was gone. Did I miss him on earlier or was that an oopsy?

[SharonRB]

145. This was part of the clip from January 2007

He was on earlier, though.

[bunny planet]

153. I lost track because I was typing.

[Berry Cool]

156. "Tony Snow, now lying recreationally to strangers and passersby."

That was great. His Doozy wasn't so hot tonight, but he made up for it with his Dennis Miller and Tony Snow!

And he put to rest that "voted 'present' a brazillion times" myth about Obama into the bargain.

Too bad that when mentioning the Comedian's latest slam on Hillary supporters, he failed to add that after all these women had their two or three divorces and their two or three abortions, they all supposedly became lesbians--because feminism asked them to do THAT, too. :rofl:

[Botany]

157. But now it is soooooo much better

We are paying the Sunnis who are backed by the Saudi not to shoot us

The Shi we have been training for 5 years can not or will not fight for
the Government we put into power

Radical Nationlist Shi loyal to Sadr own about 1/4 of Iraq now including
our southern flank

And the Turks are fighting the Kurds in the north

[Patsy Stone]

154. "Tony Snow, who retired as President Bush's Press Secretary,

now lying recreationally."

[bunny planet]

159. to passers by or anyone who will listen - paraphrasing but it was sooo

fecking funny.

[Patsy Stone]

160. I was laughing while I was typing

and it took forever. Thanks for finishing it up. :)

[Berry Cool]

163. OMG, that was a great recap of Puppet Theatre!

He had a clip of the one with the chimpanzee maids! Those were the puppets I'd have killed to get! :rofl:

[bunny planet]

161. Gotta go, not finished packing.

Love and hugs to everybody. Kaleeforneeya here I come.

[SharonRB]

162. Have a faboo trip, BunBun

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

167. Au reservoir! n/t

[bleever]

183. Best of luck

bunnirific.

:thumbsup:

[Botany]

164. Wooo Hooo!

I love the puppets

[Patsy Stone]

168. I want to buy them all

:hi:

[Botany]

171. How about EDV Puppet Theater?

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

174. How would we ever choose

which of our brilliant moments would be most suitable? :)

[RevCheesehead]

175. I don't think so...

None of our regular EDV's have a stick up her ass.

[bleever]

182. I resent your sexist post, which criticizes the lifestyle choice

of how assholes may wish to relate to sticks!

Welcome to Ignore Plus, which means that I'm ignoring you by watching your every move!
