[SeattleGirl]

5. Hi Sharon! Howdy all!

I just heard that "Paulette Revere" clip. What's next? Georgette Washington?

[WolverineDG]

7. Wrong analogy

Paul Revere only got as far as the checkpoint before he was detained by the Redcoats. Oopsie.

Oooh, Tiggr Tie!! :loveya:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

9. Hi DG!

And Rocky was beaten by Apollo Creed. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

10. She really gets those analogies, doesn't she?

[SeattleGirl]

12. Yep. She gets 'em wrong!

[Berry Cool]

15. Yeah, make up your mind, Hillary--who are you? Rocky, or Paulette Revere?

:hi: Hi everyone! And thanks, liberalla, for the news about Rachel hosting tomorrow night! That I will tune in for!

I hope Keith goes to the Yankees game. In fact, I hope he goes Saturday, too. I hope he gluts himself with baseball this weekend to make up for lost time. He deserves it.

Oh! And there are games Sunday and Monday, too!

Go, Keith, go! Indulge! Enjoy! Get drunk on baseball!

[SeattleGirl]

16. Hi Berry!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

17. Hi, SG!

:hi: Pic of Keith, please? Bueller?? Bueller??

[Berry Cool]

18. This is how I want Keith to feel after a weekend of baseball

Like Templeton the rat. Even though he's not a rat.
Positively drowning in wonderful self-indulgence.

[Berry Cool]

24. I'm loving the puns tonight.

But what does "Plying the War" mean?

[SeattleGirl]

19. Here you go. (Not Bueller, Bueller though)

[SharonRB]

21. Here's Bueller

[Berry Cool]

38. Oh, that's a lovely one.

That's how I want Keith to look...after four straight days of BASEBALL. Nothin' but BASEBALL. :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

33. Damn!

I just said that beefore I read this... :rofl:

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

31. And Rocky lost.

Thanks for playing Really Bad Analogy!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

20. RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[bleever]

23. I hope Keef lends her a tie for Friday.

I'm looking forward to that.

[SeattleGirl]

27. LOL!

Bet she'd look fab in a tie!

[SharonRB]

28. Well, she already has a twin suit. n/t

[Botany]

65. Drive by blog

Just to give you a little xy support ...
the Estro is heavy tonight.

[Berry Cool]

70. Thanks, Bot

:hi: We appreciate it.

[Patsy Stone]

22. Late! I'm late!

:hi:, all! But I'm just in time for Rachel. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

26. And we're glad you're here

Better late than never.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

49. Thanks, Sharon

I'm glad I'm here too. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

29. Patsy!!!!

So glad you're here! :loveya: :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

52. How's the Pacific NW tonight, SG?

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

62. Quite beautifull!

Been nice and sunny all day!

[Patsy Stone]

73. Lovely

There's nowhere I've seen that's lovelier than Seattle on a sunny day.

:thumbsup:

[bleever]

34. This afternoon's traffic report

included a mattress.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

39. LOL

Who knew this was a nationwide phenomenon?

:hi:

[liberalla]

42. Helloooo, Patsy!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

44. Helloooo, librella!

:hi:

Thanks for the Rachel info. That's a guest host I fully endorse!

[SharonRB]

And I approve this sub-host!

She'll be even better than Alison, if that's possible.

[liberalla]

58. She's smarky! You called her smart & snarky

or maybe snarty?

I like smarky better. :P

[SharonRB]

63. I think I like smarky better, too.

[liberalla]

25. McCain, McShame

dude, find the time to study it!

[SharonRB]

30. So she announced it elsewhere

and now KO says it's a big secret? What's up with that?

[SeattleGirl]

32. Maybe he's just playin' with us.

'cause he has to know that we know!

[SharonRB]

35. You would think so, anyway

:shrug:

[Berry Cool]

41. Yeah, what's goin' on?

Don't tell me they're auditioning her to be Countdown's permanent sub host???? :bounce: Or giving her her own show Fridays so Keith can have one night off per week?

:hi: Pats!

[Patsy Stone]

46. I'm confused

I missed that part of the show. He said that Rachel hosting was a big secret?

[Berry Cool]

77. He said something like "Are you ready for tomorrow night?"

and she smiled and laughed and THEN he said it was a big secret. Didn't say what it was.

[Patsy Stone]

79. Ah

I feel so "in". :)

[GigiMommy]

36. RACHEL!!! I know I'm late.

:hi: Hi everyone!!!

[SharonRB]

37. Hi, Gigi

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

50. Hi Sharon!!

:hi: Saw something on the news about Smart Cars but had the sound off. Did you see it?

[SharonRB]

54. No, I was at my dad's

Hubby saw it, though. They finished the NHSTA safety tests.

[SeattleGirl]

40. Hi Gigi!

And you know Rachel is subbing for Keith on Friday, right? :bounce: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

53. Hi SG!!

:hi: WOW! That's great! I STILL want her to have her own show!

[Patsy Stone]

43. Hey, GG

I was late too. So I'm trying to catch up on the thread during the commercials.

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

55. Hi Patsy!!

:hi: Me too!

[Berry Cool]

45. Hey GGM!

:hi: Glad you could make it!

[Berry Cool]

48. Yeah, I'd like to see that guy sing LYRICS.

Yeowch! That...creature is creepy!

"We may never find out what the crap is this thing."

[liberalla]

47. Yo, GigiMommy !

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

51. I love Keith's collection of dumb criminals.

But I was kinda hoping he'd latch onto the story about the one in, was it Germany, who broke into a funeral home to try to find something to steal (there was nothing) and then was afraid of getting caught, so he posed as one of the CADAVERS on display! Duh...

I was thinking about what would be good music for that one. "Only the Good Die Young"? "Dead Giveaway"?

[Berry Cool]

57. And now we get to hear about how * said torture was just fine, 'cuz he's the king.

And we got ideas on how to torture people by watching DVDs of 24.

Lovely.

[liberalla]

76. Hey BerryBush!

:toast:

[GigiMommy]

59. Hi Liberalla!

:hi: Hope you're doing well!

[Patsy Stone]

56. John Yoo is one of the most evil men in the world.

Let's torture kids! :puke:

[Berry Cool]

66. Yeah, and then let's blame the lowest level of soldier for doing it.

"Hicks with sticks" and "a few bad apples" is EXACTLY how they were characterized. You know, a bunch of ignorant hillbillies blowing off some steam by coming up with fraternity pranks. :grr:

And why? Because the people who told them to do it had too much to lose.

Thank you, Jonathan Turley.

[SeattleGirl]

60. Jonathan!!!!!

Haven't seen him in awhile!

[Patsy Stone]

61. Lovely to see you, Jonathan Turley!

Sorry to hear you actually know John Yoo. :(

[liberalla]

64. Jonathan Turley!

:kick:

[Berry Cool]

67. Why doesn't Congress want to face the fact that the president committed war crimes?

WHY????? WHY???? :banghead:

We HAVE to get more Dems in this fall! We just HAVE TO!!!! If for no other reason than to go after * AFTER he leaves office!!!!

[SharonRB]

68. Check this out at Kos

Conyers is going after Mukasey about the pre-9/11 phone call that they knew about but didn't do anything about. He wants answers.

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/4/3/17235/07672

[Patsy Stone]

81. Yeah!

Go, John! Thanks, Keith for picking up on this.

[Berry Cool]

69. Well, I picked at least two out of the three WPITW tonight well ahead of time!

They were looking pretty obvious!

[Berry Cool]

80. Good. I'm glad SOMEONE is going after Mukasey.

I mean, that's effing insane.

Just like what Issa said. Keith's right, he's wack and if he had any idea what was good for him, he'd resign.

And Glenn Beck...what an idiot. I'm glad Keith didn't push the issue of CNN giving itself sole credit for Wal-Mart backing down any further than that, though. Like I said, I think it would be unseemly for him to get in a pissing contest with CNN over who deserves the credit. Just be happy they relented. That's all.

[liberalla]

92. I'm all for going after * after he's out of office!

I see no problem doing that. Things aren't 'OK' just because he's gone. We need to spend the time and effort inspecting everything he's done, and undoing the damage where possible. I have a feeling there's still much we don't know about.

Yes, we need MORE 'D' Senators and Representatives!

[GigiMommy]

71. Wasn't Keith supposed to have that poor woman's (Walmart victim) hubby

on the show?

[SharonRB]

72. He did say that last night. n/t

[SeattleGirl]

74. Sometimes guests get shuffled, and sometimes guests can't make it.

Hopefully he'll have him on next week.

[Berry Cool]

97. He said Tuesday that they'd have him on Wednesday

but no dice. Must've fallen through. Stinks.

[Patsy Stone]

83. Yes

He was supposed to be on last night, but they taped the show. I wonder if his lawyer's told him not to appear?

[ralps]

75. Today's worst person in the world is Congressman Daryl Issa!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wow: :wtf:

[Patsy Stone]

78. Congressman Darryl Issa

"Fiend".

Well deserving of WPITW for those 9/11 comments. And let's not forget his role in US Attorney-gate. :puke:

[Berry Cool]

89. What a great trip down memory lane!!

Some of those things I didn't even catch when they originally aired, but I'm so glad to have at least snippets of them on tape now.

William Hung singing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." :rofl:

And what did I tell ya?? Keith HATES that "crappy fountain" and couldn't wait for it to go!!!! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

99. I liked the fountain

But I had no doubt he hated it. Somehow I get the feeling modern conceptual art isn't his bag.

p.s. I have a singing/speaking William Hung bobblehead at work. No, I didn't buy it.

[Berry Cool]

110. Keith has very particular tastes in art.

Dogs playing poker? Yeah.

Gates made out of orange shower curtains? No.

Baseball cards? Yes.

Fountain made out of blue neon tubing? No.

[Patsy Stone]

82. It's like a retrospective of bad suits and all the glasses.

I'm waiting for our tie to appear.

[SharonRB]

90. GMTA

I kept watching for it.

The ties that bind!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

95. It wasn't there.

Do you think he's stopped loving us? :)

[SharonRB]

96. I don't think he ever started

unfortunately.

[Patsy Stone]

100. Every party has its pooper

That's why we invited you.

You don't think wearing it twice counts as affection?

[Berry Cool]

101. Speaking of the tie,

you just reminded me of one of my favorite Countdown moments, which happened the night he wore it!

The memorial tribute to Bubba the 100-Year-Old Lobster!!!!! :rofl:

"I will remember you...will you remember me..."

Bubba popping up like Zelig or Forrest Gump in every historical occasion over the past 100 years.

"Goodbye, Bubba...you were...*sniff sniff* delicious...Oh well, at least he lived long enough to see the Red Sox win."

[Patsy Stone]

106. I was hoping that was the clip that would have made it.

Poor Bubba. We hardly knew ye...

:rofl:

[PageOneQ]

84. Dan Abrams is WAAAAY cuter...

It's just a fact.

[Patsy Stone]

88. Oh, well...

More Keith for me then. :)

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

103. AND for me...!

[SharonRB]

94. Hey, you

Cuter than who? Keith? That's heresy around here (pssst....but you may be right).

[Berry Cool]

104. BLASPHEMER!!!!!

[SharonRB]

107. Sorry -- but you know I love him for his mind and his snark and other non-physical traits

I've never been particularly attracted to him physically.

[Berry Cool]

111. Yeah, but do you have to keep reminding us of it? :-)

You make the rest of us look like brainless ninnies who just lust after his body.

Then again, I probably do a good enough job of making myself look like that.

[GigiMommy]

85. OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!

Keith LOOKS BETTER AS HE AGES!!!!! WHAT WAS THAT LOOK BACK IN THE DAY!!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

87. Yeah. He had something of a "Betty Bouffant" look goin' on in

some of those clips. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

93. Young, young Keith...

[liberalla]

102. OMG, I barely recognize him!

I wonder if he had contacts?

[Berry Cool]

112. Me, I'm wondering if maybe he didn't need to wear glasses before "The Accident."

I have yet to see a picture of him wearing them pre-1980.

[RepublicanElephant]

115. ay caramba!!!

:loveya:

[ralps]

86. Awwww Thanks for the Memories Keith!!

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

[bleever]

91. Five years of Countdown, and over three of the KOEB.

Could he have done it without us?

No one will ever know. ;)

[SharonRB]

98. I've been watching a little less than four years

I started watching during the summer of '04.

[Patsy Stone]

105. Keith hate in GD:P starring the usual suspects.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5362556&mesg_id=5362556

[SharonRB]

108. I hate going in there

Those people make me nuts. "Why can't we all get along?"

It's like all those people who are so happy Randi got suspended. A year ago, if she had said the same thing about someone other than Hillary, they would have been screaming and protesting.

Basta!

[Patsy Stone]

109. Dead to them

...and Dave Matthews too.

[Berry Cool]

114. Yeah, but because she said it about Hillary, she is all evil, eh?

They didn't care when she talked smack about Keith and wouldn't explain why. But Hillary? Well...

I don't know. I see this situation as parallel to the one with Dana Jacobson--remember the ESPN personality who got drunk and said something like "Fuck Notre Dame, Fuck Touchdown Jesus" at an ESPN event? OK, so Randi wasn't at an Air America event per se, but let's be honest, what she says in public reflects on them. Hell, Keith got suspended by ESPN and one of the reasons was saying on another show that Bristol, Connecticut was the most godforsaken place on earth.

It's true that it seems like another case of someone getting punished for saying something linking the Clintons to prostitution, but is anyone sure that she wouldn't have gotten the same treatment for calling someone else a whore? At least some other Dem?

I'm not thrilled that it happened, but I'm not outraged, either.

[Berry Cool]

113. Why am I not surprised I am ignoring the author of that thread??

:rofl:
