KOEB Meeting 4/23/08 Smoke and Mirrors and Disclaimers Edition

[Berry Cool]

:hi: Do you feel like this is Groundhog Day?

Keith's disclaimer at the opening was hilarious.

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi Berry! Howdy all!

Loved KO's auctioneer riff!

[Berry Cool]

4. It was like watching a prescription drug ad.

Happy First Anniversary, everyone...*sigh*

[bleever]

2. One year since the first debate!

No wonder I'm tired.

:hi: Berry.

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi bleev!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

6. Hey bleev and SG.

Even Howard Dean is too tired to do the scream.

[Patsy Stone]

5. Feels like an eternity

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

9. Hi Patsy!

I'm starting to feel like I did near the end of my pregnancy -- that I would be forever pregnant! x(

[Berry Cool]

10. It's so great to have a dose of realism from Keith.

If he wants to take the rest of the week off after this, oh well.

[ralps]

7. Hi BerryBush, Hi Everyone!

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

[SeattleGirl]

11. Hi ralps! Love your cuddle kittehs!

:hi:

[ralps]

15. Hi SeattleGirl!! Awww Thanks!

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

[Patsy Stone]

8. Hi, Berry!

:hi:, everyone!

I still say it's by 9, not 10.

[SeattleGirl]

13. Exactly. It was 9.44% or something, which in the math I learned, gets

rounded down, not up.

[SharonRB]

16. Exactly!

As far as I'm concerned, it's 9%, not 10.

[Berry Cool]

30. Hi, Sharon.

:hi: Yeah, this must be the new math, if they're rounding 4s up.

[Patsy Stone]

31. Currently on the PA website: 9.2%

http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/

Nine, no matter how you slice it. But 10% sells more papers.

[SeattleGirl]

32. And helps sell the Democratic party down the river.

[Berry Cool]

24. Hey, Pats.

I guess if you only count left-handed one-legged white women with red hair between the ages of 52 and 53 who make under $60,000 a year, Hillary's got this thing sewed up.

[Patsy Stone]

26. But, they've earned this, dammit!

:eyes:

[SeattleGirl]

27. So THAT'S why I couldn't vote for her!

I'm 52, make under $60,000, and have red hair, but I am right handed, and have two legs. :crazy:

[RevCheesehead]

59. You wouldn't cut off a leg for the Hil-Rod, eh?

And if you really cared, you'd switch hands, too.

[SeattleGirl]

63. Well, I'm one of those "elitist" Obama supporters.

:P

[RevCheesehead]

67. Living in Seattle, I would assume so.

You probably sip Lattes and drive a Volvo. :eyes:

[SeattleGirl]

72. Actually, I sip my lattes while walking everywhere, wearing my

Birkenstocks and thrift-store clothing. ;-)

[RevCheesehead]

74. Oh, it's even worse than I thought...

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

75. I know. I'm beyond hope.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

87. Yeah. You should just kill yourself now

and make me out as beneficiary of your trust fund. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

89. Sorry, but with the state of my economy, it'll be gone before you can get it.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

85. Some democrat she is.

HA-rumph!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

86. I know....

She's probably one of them Per-gressives.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

93. Uh-uh!

I am an ELITIST Per-gressive! :P

[SeattleGirl]

92. Oh, dahlin' Patsy!

You are just too TOO funny!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

95. Hey

I'm planning on bringing the act to Seattle in August for my Uncle's 80th birthday. We must have cocktails, sweetie!

[SeattleGirl]

96. Absolutely!

And at the MOST cha-cha place in town!

[RevCheesehead]

54. I thought Heather Mills was British.

:shrug: Go figure.

[Berry Cool]

90. She's not between 52 and 53.

Obviously Hill doesn't have the British one-legged golddigger vote sewed up.

[SharonRB]

12. Hi, everyone!

And shut the F up, Hillary. You can't count Florida and, especially, not Michigan. You knew they weren't going to count when this started.

[SeattleGirl]

17. The Michigan statement by her REALLY gets my panties in a twist.

Obama's name wasn't even ON the freakin' ballot!

[SharonRB]

19. Imagine how those of us who live here feel!

I'm surprised she can stand up straight from all the spinning.

[SeattleGirl]

22. The wind from her spinning supporters is helping hold her up for now.

[RevCheesehead]

61. What I want to know is:

Is all that spinning eco-friendly, or not? :crazy:

[SeattleGirl]

64. Well, maybe Gore can figure out how to capture all that wind power.

:)

[RevCheesehead]

69. AND -

It's hot air, too! :rofl:

[SharonRB]

66. Only if it produces enough wind power to actually

create electricity.

[RevCheesehead]

73. Let's call the expert:

She's dead, Jim...

[Patsy Stone]

21. And wasn't the whole MI shebang

declared unconstitutional anyway? How does that count?

[SeattleGirl]

23. Apparently, the Constitution doesn't matter too much to Hil either.

[SharonRB]

29. That was my understanding from reading the court ruling,

but apparently no one seems to be taking it literally. :eyes:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

14. Hello all.

Chuck Todd is nailing it. Hilary is done, but she won't admit it.

[SharonRB]

18. Hi, Mo

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

20. Howdy, mohino!

:sigh: I wish Hil would just go home. The sidewalks have been rolled up, but she still doesn't get it.

[Patsy Stone]

25. Hillary, it's LAST CALL!

Time to go. You dont have to go home, but you can't stay here. Drink 'em if you got 'em and get OUT!

[SeattleGirl]

28. I think she wants another shot of Crown Royal.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

Oh please, that photo op in a Hammond bar

was so phony. If she really wanted a boilermaker, she would have drunk VO or Canadian Club. Crown Royal is beyond the pale when it comes to working class people.

[Berry Cool]

33. Time to close down the bar.

The bartender is legally obligated to stop serving her. Take her keys if necessary, call her a cab.

[Berry Cool]

37. Actually, what I was thinking of is that this reminds me of when disco was dying

but it didn't know it was dead yet. All of a sudden some of the absolute worst disco dreck was released, the bottom of the barrel was being scraped.

It's 2:30 a.m., the bartender is mopping up, and Hillary's out there on the dance floor three sheets to the wind, trying to get some guy to dance to the Village People's "Ready for the 80's" with her.

[Patsy Stone]

41. I'll buy her a bottle

if she'll take it to go. :)

[Botany]

34. Chuck Todd looks like a manager @ a Denny's

But he is right .... it is over. Because as i was channel surfing
to K.O. I saw Rove :puke: on Bill O's show saying how Hillary
will win the nomination because Obama is arrogant.

BTW I want royalties on the phrase "Karl Rove's Play-Book."

I first sent that to Steph in Jan. then she used then Hillary used
it and now it is all over.

[SeattleGirl]

35. Hi Bot!

Obama is arrogant = Obama is uppity. :puke:

[Botany]

39. Karl lying and talking to O'Rielly about arrogance

Please both those fuckers are the picture of arrogance.

All I want is 5 minutes alone w/ Rove .....

[bleever]

43. They really need a meteorite to hit Obama to have a chance,

but they're holding out hope.

[Patsy Stone]

47. Bill is calling in

all the celestial favors as we speak.

[bleever]

55. He doesn't want Hill's campaign to be a

blown opportunity.

[Berry Cool]

78. Oh dear.

:rofl: I was going to say: "BILL has celestial favors to call in??"

[Patsy Stone]

82. That would be a shame

Maybe Mark Penn could help see that doesnt happen.

Rachel just made a lovely point about the McCain campaign's complaint about the 527 ad and Hillary's campaign's lack of complaint.

[Berry Cool]

77. I'm just scared that if the meterorite doesn't hit him

and he continues to win, what else might they arrange to have hit him. :scared:

Yes, it's that bad.

I worry that much.

[Patsy Stone]

36. AciPHex

Anyone else have this drug ad?

Did they mean to put the word "ass" in the name?

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

40. Nope . What is it?

Sounds like some sort of skin lotion or something.

[Patsy Stone]

42. Acid reflux

ASSifex... or Ass Effects(?) :)

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

45. I don't think I got that one.

I don't know why Keith is so shocked that the NC GOP isn't listening to McGramps when he tells them not to run that horrible anti-Obama ad. Is Keith naive enough to think Grampy REALLY wants them not to run it and that the fact that he can't get them not to run it is proof of his impotence in the party?

Come on, Keith, sometimes you really ARE too naive. Even Tweety knows it's all a show.

"Oh, please, don't run that ad, it wouldn't be right."

"We don't care. This is our state and we will run whatever ad we like."

"But I implore you, please don't run that unfair ad."

"Well...hmm...sorry, but we thought about it, and we are going to run the ad anyway."

"I really wish you wouldn't, and I am going to go to the media and tell them so."

"That's OK."

"All right. Good luck with the ad."

"Thanks."

[SeattleGirl]

38. KOOS!!

[Patsy Stone]

44. Thanks to Richard Wolffe

and his latest pair of glasses.

[SharonRB]

46. Once again...

[Berry Cool]

50. Keith, please warn me next time before you do a Cheney impression.

I was eating crackers!

It's lucky they didn't put him on camera when he was doing it this time, or I could've choked to death!

[Patsy Stone]

88. HI-larious!

:rofl:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

48. Why do these guy keep insisting that Pennsylvania

is Hillary's home state?

Sorry, but she was raised in Illinois, Park Ridge to be exact. She graduated from Maine East High School, why is she now claiming PA as her home state. She's such a panderer.

[SeattleGirl]

49. Because she "summered" there when she was a little girl.

"Summered" = "I've lived there ALL MY LIFE!" :eyes:

[Botany]

56. Where she was a hunter

[SeattleGirl]

58. And she slammed 3 beers and a Crown Royal upon awakening

from her nap.

[Berry Cool]

94. Because everyone who's anyone "summers" in Scranton.

I mean, for convenience to Binghamton, it can't be beat.

And then there's the incredible proximity to Wilkes-Barre.

[Patsy Stone]

98. Been there, done that.

Had dinner in Scranton and stayed at my friend's parents' farmhouse in bumfuck PA, twenty-five miles from Binghamton.

[RevCheesehead]

51. "Mmm, Hey, Dick - - stick to the comedy!"

:rofl:

:hi: Hi everyone!

[SeattleGirl]

53. Rev!!

:hi: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

57. Hey, Girrrrrl!!

:hi::loveya:

[Berry Cool]

68. Hey, Rev!!!!

:hi: :loveya:

[Botany]

70. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Dick the wit & wisdom of a mass killer

[RevCheesehead]

80. Cuddles!!

[bleever]

52. I'm pretty sure Cheney said "Obermann" in that speech.

And I still find it nauseating that people sat and chuckled at the jokes of a traitor and war criminal.

[Berry Cool]

60. And Keith has an excuse to run baseball footage.

:rofl: That idiot in Boston who caught the ball and then DROPPED it!!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

91. I think he even called him

a loser. LOL.

[Botany]

62. the humor of dick cheney

:puke:

like hitler making jewish jokes .... that man is behind millions
of deaths .... and he crackes wise.

[Berry Cool]

71. He's as funny as scabies.

Just looking at him gives me the creeps.

But at least now I can look forward to seeing Keith imitate him.

Oh man, that logo...I had it figured out before Keith said "tilt your head." Dirty mind, I guess.

[bleever]

65. The Divinyls!

Nice song selection for that graphic.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

79. And Rachel explains to Keith what I just tried to tell him.

Keith, Keith...

[SeattleGirl]

76. RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

84. Um, Keith, the bad news is, McCain's "pastor problem" is all in your mind.

Nobody else is paying attention. Nobody cares what Hagee says. Nobody cares if he says Katrina was divine retribution on New Orleans for being about to stage a gay parade.

Hagee could say we all deserve to go to hell tonight, and nobody would be paying attention because they'd all be too raptly watching a video of Jeremiah Wright saying "GOD DAMN AMERICA" and asking "Should we let a person who has even watched this video before be our president?"

[SeattleGirl]

81. Okay, WHAT is the big deal about the Abercrombie & Fitch shirts?

Someone in GD-Pee was making a big deal about it, and now Keith is going to do a story on it.

Did I miss the memo?

[bleever]

83. I wondered what was up with that.

Kinda weird.

[Berry Cool]

97. It's just kinda strange.

I mean, you know the candidates choose very carefully who will be standing around and behind them when they make these TV speeches.

[Patsy Stone]

99. It's to get the young college girls

to vote. :)

[Berry Cool]

100. Imagine the guys who'll be standing behind McCain in his future campaign speeches.

Three senior citizens with "WORLD'S BEST GRANDPA" sweatshirts.

[SeattleGirl]

103. .......

:spray:

[Patsy Stone]

101. Woo Hoo

KO on Letterman later!

:bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

104. Mind Meld!

[Berry Cool]

105. Wow, THAT's a surprise.

Out of nowhere!

He wasn't on any of the talk shows when his book came out. I imagine it was because of the writers' strike. He didn't want to be faced with the moral dilemma of having to cross picket lines.

Kinda late to be plugging the book, though.

[SeattleGirl]

102. Woohoo! Keef's gonna be on Letterman!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

106. Dan is looking especially yummy tonight!

:9

Nice tie, too. :)

[Patsy Stone]

107. You're right.

Delish!
