KOEB 8/22/05: It's Open Mike Night at the Chuckle Hut!

[Berry Cool]

"Hi ladies and germs! KO here. And as I was telling my good friend Al Franken the other day--well, hey, have you heard that Rush Limbaugh lately? What a pill--BWAHAHAHA! :rofl: I listened to him the other day and I thought, 'What? Is he on drugs?' And then I remembered...HE *IS* ON DRUGS! BWAHAHAHAHA! :rofl: But seriously folks, if this is the state Rush's brain is in right now, I really do think it's time he went looking for another doctor...no, wait, THAT'S HIS PROBLEM! BWAHAHAHAHA!

"But seriously, folks, Rush doesn't believe half the stuff he says. Take his prescriptions...PLEASE!! He's already taken TOO MANY! BWAHAHAHAAHA! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

"Thanks, you've been a great audience! I'll be here all week--that is, if I don't take ANOTHER vacation! Be sure to tip your waiters! Keep your knees loose! G'night and good luck!"

[Patsy Stone]

1. You go, KO!

Just starting right off by mentioning that it's * first trip away from Crawford -- The "You like me! You really like me!" Tour -- and that the Iraqi deadline passed without actually adopting a constitution, but merely submitting one.

Que bueno! :loveya::loveya::loveya:

[SharonRB]

2. I like his outfit tonight

Very nice.

[Patsy Stone]

4. Me, too!

And he's all over this anti-Iraq story. :loveya:

[WolverineDG]

12. and it's grey too!!

:loveya:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

14. :)

How are you?

[WolverineDG]

19. dandy but tired

it was a long drive to crawford, but worth it. i'm going back again next weekend to drive a shuttle...either a rented van or my own car.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

28. Very cool.

It was great that you went. :thumbsup:

[SharonRB]

21. Your summary of your trip was great

And thanks for posting the photos.

[WolverineDG]

68. glad you liked it

i've hit a technical difficulty w/posting my crawford snaps...can't even get the email program & the photo software to talk to each other....takes forever to attach & i really don't want to send out emails one....photo...at...a...time..... :boring:

dg

[Berry Cool]

53. Yes, he's a beautiful silver fox

and again, he's on a warpath against Bush's warpath.

:hi: from Berry After the Show!

[Patsy Stone]

3. And Cindy and Hagel! So, so good. n/t

[Clark2008]

5. We've been a bit thin around here of late

And, I know that after tonight, my visits will be more and more sparse.

But I'll still pop in from time to time!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

6. All the BF's stuff moved in, Clark?

[Clark2008]

7. Not even close.

He's moving in this coming weekend. All we did this past weekend was move MY stuff around to make some room.

[Patsy Stone]

16. So cool, Clark!

Best of luck. Did you realize you had so much stuff? :)

[Clark2008]

18. Stuff, stuff everywhere!

And, we were discussing how my stupid ex probably will make a big deal out of us living together (like he's so perfect or something) and may even go so far as to try to take my son as a result.
Gav just piped up and said, "Well, honey, let's just get married. Do the paperwork, make it legal and still have a ceremony later." (If we're married, my ex can't claim I'm setting a bad example).
Sounds like he isn't going to be letting go of me any time soon, doesn't it? :)

[bleever]

24. What a guy!

And does he have a lot of stuffed animal heads you have to find room for?

:hi:

[Clark2008]

30. LOL! No. No. No.

I don't know that he's ever even hunted anything. However, being a former Army Ranger, I'm guessing - just assuming here - that he DOES know how to use a weapon. :7

Mainly I'm having to find room for his toys: videos, DVDs, CDs, electronic equipment, etc.

[bleever]

47. I know what he needs for a house warming present:

A basket for all the remotes that go with all those toys.

And, BTW: :toast:

[WolverineDG]

100. the only difference between men & boys

is the price of their toys.....
;)
dg

[Clark2008]

8. This guy is nuts.

Keith just called him on his lies about her family.

And he keeps on lying! Her "entire" family is NOT against what she's doing. What a jerk-off!

[Berry Cool]

54. Keith did the smart thing...

...let him talk, and let his inarticulateness and his awkward silences when he couldn't think up a comeback to Keith speak for themselves.

[Patsy Stone]

9. Is this the "Swift Boating" of Cindy?

She's a bad mother? She's brought it upon herself? It's a me, me, me campaign?

Oh, my...

[seito]

10. It seems in the process of regurgitating all them RW talking points

He got a little mess on himself.


:hi: KOEBers

[Patsy Stone]

13. LOL!

He was, indeed, something else...

Hi, setio! :hi:

[bleever]

22. LOL. They should issue bibs with their talking points.

:hi: WP.

[WolverineDG]

11. LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE

:grr: :grr: :grr:

all of the sympathy that i had for mr. qualls has just evaporated. someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST THE PIC OF HIM MEETING WITH CINDY AT CAMP CRAWFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like how Keith caught him on the fact that her kids are adults & she's taking care of her mom in CA right now. I understand you have to treat mourning families with kid gloves, but this guy was just spouting off talking points & lies & so doesn't deserve that kind of treatment.....

C'mon Keith, have him back on & confront him with the pic!

dg

[demjuli]

17. He didn't learn his talking points very thoroughly

But I still feel sorry for him...he's being used.

[Berry Cool]

55. Keith just may show the picture of Sheehan and Qualls together

and not have him back on. Nuff said.

I don't know whether Qualls is self-selected or chosen to be the spokesman for "his" viewpoint, but he doesn't come off well at all. He sounds like he really is not sure what the heck he's doing out there besides repeating some tired stuff about representing "fallen heroes."

[WolverineDG]

66. i sent a copy of the pic to countdown

including a note that i sympathize w/mr. qualls on his loss, but that does not excuse him out & out lying about cindy & completely omitting the fact that he met w/her & she welcomed him to camp casey.

dg

[crispini]

71. this guy is coming off like kind of a jackass

trying to pick on her for not being with her family. good for Keith for calling him on that, the fact that her kids are all grown.

[WolverineDG]

95. floatie hearts for keith all around!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

dg

[Greylyn58]

15. Howdy All

Not to disrespect this father--Mr. Qualls--who has lost a son, but his logic is all over the place. First he says Cindy has the right to protest, then he goes off on her saying she needs to be home(typical RW women need to stay home crap) and take care of her family.

Thank God KO brought up the fact that she has gone home to care for her mom!!

Whack-job!!! Total whack-job!!

[bleever]

20. Gotta say I feel sorry for Mr. Qualls. Guys like him get chewed up

and spit out by despotic regimes. Even his kids are willingly offered up, because he really believes he's serving the cause of freedom.

[Patsy Stone]

26. You're a better man than I, Gunga Din.

:hi:

[bleever]

29. BTW, didn't someone have a birthday last Friday?

Happy Birthday, Patsy Stone!


:party:
:party:
:party:

[Patsy Stone]

33. And Bill...

Thanks! :loveya:

[seito]

36. Happy Birthday Patsy !!!!

:party:

[Patsy Stone]

39. Birthday smilies... Thanks! n/t

[bleever]

51. Here's to you, Pats.

Er...hold please...ah, here we are:



:toast:

:loveya:

[SharonRB]

41. Mine was yesterday

[Patsy Stone]

42. Happy Birthday to you!

:party::party::toast:

[SharonRB]

43. Thanks, Pats

And same to you. We Leos have to stick together.

[Patsy Stone]

49. Absolutely.

Pack mentality. We'll rule the school. LOL! :)

[Berry Cool]

57. And happy b-day to Sharon too!

:party: It's just all celebration here!!!

[seito]

44. Happy Birthday Sharon!!!

:party:

[SharonRB]

45. Thanks, Seito.

[bleever]

48. Happy Birthday, Sharon!

Allow me:




Whoops! I meant:

[SharonRB]

102. LOL!

You remembered my favorite drink (although I think I have a new favorite Cosmopolitan).

[Berry Cool]

56. Ah, is THAT why you weren't around, Patsy????

:party: Well, hope it was a happy one! Keith couldn't have given you a BETTER present! He even gave you an EXTRA marijuana ref tonight!

[Patsy Stone]

61. That's where I was!

And he did. And it was even in Florida. :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

23. Why can't these women's partners

just tell them they don't want to be with them anymore and they don't want a kid? When did it become the thing to kill a pregnant girlfriend/wife? :wtf:

[bleever]

25. I'm surprised more pregnant women don't kill their partners, actually.

:shrug:

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

27. Why even wait for pregnancy? :) n/t

[bleever]

52. LOL. Now THAT'S forward thinking.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

63. These guys were losers to begin with

the women would clearly have been better off without 'em. :crazy: If they had a good lawyer, like Billy Flynn in Chicago, and a really good production number or two, they may have even been acquitted.

:hi:

[bleever]

67. LOL. You kill me, Pats. Uh, metaphorically, that is.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

31. Godspeed, Hunter! n/t

[Berry Cool]

58. They blowed him up!

They blowed him up good!

They blowed him up REAL good!

Yeah!

[ewagner]

32. Post, Duck and Cover..

or another way of saying Drive-by Post...

Did any of you hear Stephanie Miller this morning refer to Keith as her "future husband?"

:hide:

[Patsy Stone]

37. She's one of us

and if all goes well, Botany's. :)

Steph: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

38. I did -- she says that all the time

But this morning she also referred to Paul Hackett as her future husband. Of course then she said well, at least Keith is single.

[Muffstser]

50. I wonder if they've ever met?

If nothing else, she has good taste.

[Berry Cool]

59. Methinks Steph is well on her way to becoming

a two-time adulterous bigamist! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

34. Other DU KO Thread...

[Muffstser]

35. Better late than never, gang!

Goody...I got home in time to see the alligator rassler and the one man Star Wars guy! Woo hoo hoo!

(It's been that kinda goofy day, ya know???)

[Patsy Stone]

65. Hey. Muffster!

Nice to see you. :hi:

[Muffstser]

69. Hiya, Patsy! I have SOOO got to see that Star Wars show.

It looks hilarious!

[Patsy Stone]

40. Charles Ross

Dying to see this guy. Funniest review in the NYT!

[bleever]

46. Hunter S. Thompson: "he blowed up good, he blowed up REAL good".

Godspeed, Dr. T.

:patriot:

[Berry Cool]

60. I was HOPING someone

would post the pic of Big Jim and Billy Sol!

Thanks, bleev!

Oh, and LOVED Keith's eyebrow joke on himself.

[Berry Cool]

62. OK, someday after that HUGE picture loads, I have a question to discuss:

How come people are talking about Keith right and left...but all of a sudden his ratings are in the damn toilet?

How come, all of a sudden, Countdown is THE lowest-rated show on MSNBC after having been the highest just a few weeks ago?

What's up with this? And don't tell me all the viewers are on vacation. Rita Skeeter's aren't. Joe Scaryborough's aren't (maybe he's made them too afraid to go on a cruise). So...what's the story????

[Patsy Stone]

64. Rovian Dirty Tricks.

Anything I can blame on him, I will.

Maybe all the ratings diaries went to Kansas?

[crispini]

70. Here for the rerun! Hi ladies!

HEY. Didn't this Qualls guy actually MEET and CRY with Cindy? Even though he's a pro-Bush guy?

And now he's the anti-Cindy poster boy? :wtf:

Ok, off to read the thread.....

[RevCheesehead]

72. Hi, Crispini.

Pretty lame "spokesperson" for Freepers, huh?

[crispini]

73. Yep.

Hi Rev! :hi: Our guy's looking quite charming tonight even if it is a gray suit. :loveya:

Four cigars A DAY? Holy cats, no wonder he got a freakin' growth. :scared:

Hee hee, "Oddbull." :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

74. The Wooly Caterpillars get a shout-out tonight, too.

Yeah, I recorded it earlier.

[crispini]

76. Oddball was tres snarklicious.

Four killed at the bull thingy last year? :eyes:

[RevCheesehead]

77. The "bull-thingy?"

Sounds dirty. :evilgrin:

[crispini]

80. Heh, as it should.

"Stories my producers force me to do." :rofl: Bless him.

[RevCheesehead]

81. He drives that point home - several times.

Do we need to start a letter-writing campaign? "Let Keith do his show the way HE wants."

[crispini]

84. He's just bein' his smart-ass self.

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

85. Did you catch the Elmer Fudd spot?

"We're hunting gator." :rofl:

[crispini]

86. yes, biiiiig grin from me.

this piece is funny... with real gators!

[RevCheesehead]

75. Berry: Keep this bit of trivia.

Keith's left eyebrow is 2-3/4 inches - wide. :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

97. Hmm. I guess Rev has really taken that saying to heart.

"It's not the *length,* it's the *dimension*..."

[crispini]

78. Did KO just say he'll be on with Dan *tomorrow* ?

How he expects us to keep up with him, I dunno..... :crazy:

[Berry Cool]

98. Yes, once again he is day-jumping with Dan.

I'm real glad he lets us know in advance and all, but it's a little confusing to keep up with. I don't know how the average person does it after all the hype about how Keith was always going to be on FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY.

[CC]

79. Hi Rev and Crispini

a hit and run for a bit. Also a hi for anyone else around. Unexpected company the last few so no time...grrrrrrrrr


On Qualls, it hasn't been a year yet for him, he hasn't a clue and it showed through. His son,
Lance Cpl. Louis W. Qualls 20 2nd Battalion, 14th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve Temple, Texas Died as result of enemy action in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, on November 16, 2004
I don't agree with his views but I know where he is at grief wise and can see he is being used by the right wing. I feel for him for both. Though he does make Cindy look much better. You can tell Cindy is speaking her own thoughts and NOT spouting off talking points, and even more so after seeing Mr. Qualls. Far as the name goes, don't put it on a cross if he doesn't want it, use the number. Not sure how to find out what number he was but ot is his name and his son so he should be respected there. He can explain the hugs and change of heart himself.




A PS on edit....Botany if you read threads later, why am I telling people from Ohio what is going on in Ohio? (Coingate etc.) And one of them tries to follow the news.

[crispini]

83. Hi CC!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

87. Hi, CC and critters.

As I left for my meeting tonight, I left the TV on so the VCR could record the show. I thought, "Keith will be soothing for the kitties." But, horror of horrors, I forgot what and who followed Keith.

The cats came to the door running when I got home. :scared:

[CC]

93. Poor Kitties

I am having to cage the dogs at night since the unexpected company showed fear. Now the dogs think it is great fun to scare the crap out of them. The dogs will be happy for normal, so will the cats and ferrets since they are not getting as much attention as they are used to. The birds just talk or squawk at them all night. They did know it was a zoo here though.


I didn't even make it through the thread but need to go to bed since I will be entertaining again tomorrow. Good thing I like these people. Now if one would shush and listen to Keith when he is on she might learn something. :rofl: He is at least semi informed and she has been on her butt for 4 months with a broken knee. Been razzing her that golf on tv is only a step up from bass fishing and she should "Watch the f'ing news once in a while" (Her bf said it before I did.


Have a good night and sweet dreams both of you.

[WolverineDG]

101. Kitty Abuse!!!

I'm reporting you to the ASPCA!! ;) Poor babies!

dg

[WolverineDG]

96. the names aren't painted on the crosses

they are written on paper or poster board & attached to the crosses with rubber bands. some families had already contacted the peace house to say that they didn't want their kids' names used & so the names were taken down but the crosses were left standing. i saw several crosses w/o names on them. mr. qualls is full of it when he says those families' wishes aren't being respected...they are...the families whose wishes aren't being respected are those who support cindy...having to listen to "war all right! war! yahoo!!" from the pro-war supporters, cheering on war like it's a damn football game.

[crispini]

82. Occam's razor.....

Oooooooooo..... a guy with logic and brains... :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

88. "Almost as high as Thompson himself used to get."

LOVE that line! :)

[crispini]

90. Sounds like that was quite the shindig.

Did he say it really cost two mil?!

[RevCheesehead]

91. 2.5 million.

Johnny Depp picked up the tab. Good man, that Wonka. :)

[Berry Cool]

99. Even in death, Hunter got the snark from Keith.

And who knows? He would probably laugh.

[crispini]

89. ten pounds of fertilizer in a five pound bag....

BLIVET!!!! :rofl: Our favorite word for Shrub!!!! :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

92. Well, Oreo is demanding that I tend the litterbox RIGHT NOW.

Enjoy this guy's LOTR thing at the end. "My Precious." :rofl:

G'night, Crispi and CC. :hi:

[crispini]

94. night!

:hi:

dang fine show tonight.

Have they given up on Hardball reruns after this? It's Rita Skeeter again!?
