KOEB 2/3/06: Friday Night Party Edition

[Berry Cool]

Wake up, Keith! It's time for your show!



Well, I see from the ads that Keith has discovered yet another way to get a roll of stamps and mail it in at the end of the show. :-) Starting tonight, he promises to instigate "Plays of the Month"--a monthly version of "The Best of Oddball."

Aw, Keith. We love us some you, but when are you gonna learn...we won't be satisfied until you BRING BACK THE NEWS QUIZ!

Anyway, have fun, folks. And if Keith falls asleep, please nudge him.

No, wait. *I'll* do that. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

1. I'm here early and I just gotta say

Tweety is ridiculous.

Spitting out questions to his guest like McLaughlin "Tony Blair?!"

Love you, KO. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

2. Hey, Pats

I used to like Blair. Now -- not so much.

[Patsy Stone]

7. I want to know why he did what he did

I can't imagine he wanted to go to war. He just went along trusting that it would all go well, and it soooo hasn't gone well.

He got mixed up with a bad crowd.

[ralps]

15. Hi Patsy

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

[Berry Cool]

123. Did anyone else see Craig Crawford was on "Hardball Hotshots" tonight?

I was in shock. Joe Scarborough needed filling in, I guess. Either that or someone got the crazy idea that maybe it looked vaguely stupid to have three conservatives and an idiot all on there together agreeing with each other.

[crispini]

3. Helloooooooooo ladies!

Where on earth did you get the pic?

And I am so mad about Scooter's trial being put off so much. :mad:

[SharonRB]

6. You and me both.

I'm burning up over it.

[Greylyn58]

4. Evening Berry and My fellow KOEBers

I see you got a jump on everyone tonight. :evilgrin:

Where did you find that picture of Keith? :)

Mmmmm Keith looks good tonight...:yourock: Keith and we :loveya:

[SharonRB]

5. Does Keith sound just a tad skeptical about why the trial is

really being delayed?

[Greylyn58]

14. I'd say so!!

And rightly so. This is just ridiculous and I don't buy his lawyers excuse!!!

Doesn't pass the smell test!!! :argh:

[crispini]

17. Yup.

it's all a bit too-too.

[RevCheesehead]

8. Here I am!

Good evening, all. :hi:

Not to blow an ill wind, but did anyone see Dan's tie today? It looks an awful lot like that red one in the poll.

Keith :loveya::loveya::loveya:

[ralps]

12. Hi RevCheesehead

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

[RevCheesehead]

16. Hi ralps!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

25. Pat said "dissembling."

At least he knows the right word.

[ralps]

9. Hi BerryBush, Hi Everyone, Frell The Scooter Libby won't start before

next year!!!!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :grr: :grr:

[SharonRB]

10. The senator from Law & Order

:rofl:

Yuck -- Nora!

[Clark2008]

11. Fred Thompson: the Senator from Law & Order

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

13. Keith said "foreplay."

Scootch a Bay Air under Berry.... *thudd* :evilgrin:

[crispini]

19. Yummmmmm.

Hi Rev! :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

20. .... AND "inpenetrable."

Shit - we're running out of Bay Airs!

[Berry Cool]

22. Hi everyone...

:hi: Happy Friday all!

Please don't push a Bay Air under me. I'm having too much fun thinking about Keith and foreplay.

The image is from Olbermann.org again. A screen cap from a 1997 SportsCenter commercial.

Missing e-mails...anyone remember some missing minutes of TAPE?????

The good news is that there have already been court cases in which juries were told to assume that "missing" e-mails were e-mails that would implicate a company or another entity...and to render their decision accordingly. Yeah!

Will be back After the Show.

[ralps]

40. Cool Website BerryBush, I've bookmarked it

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

[SharonRB]

18. Duh, Nora

Something may have been wrong with their e-mail system? Yeah, something was wrong with it all right. Someone deleted e-mails before they could be archived.

[Patsy Stone]

21. Norah "SHILL" O'Donnell

What's your point? I mean that metaphysically.

but, what was your point about KKKarl and the missing e-mail and the missing e-mails. What am I to infer from that correlation you made?

[Berry Cool]

32. I think it is pretty darned clear what happened.

Someone wiped those e-mails off the White House system because they KNEW they were in trouble if they were ever found. Just like the Nixon tapes.

Oh wow. PAT BUCHANAN is saying the war is wrong and we should not have gone into it and * will not be looked on kindly by history. Hey, pal, you lost Mr. Conservative. You're done.

[Greylyn58]

23. Patrick Fitzgerald's office

needs to seize those computers because anyone that knows computers, knows that those emails aren't really gone even if they were deleted. A good computer person could find them.

If they were deleted by mistake :sarcasm: Yeah right!!!

[crispini]

27. YES. Get the entire email server

and get a good techie in there and FIND THEM.

[RevCheesehead]

29. Don't they have computer forensic experts?

Of course, they'll scream "national security," but I wholeheartedly agree, Greylyn.

:hi: *woof*

[Berry Cool]

42. I'm thinkin' three words: "electronic data discovery."

Someone needs to go in there and recover those "lost" e-mails if there is any way to do it. Of course, knowing this bunch they probably got themselves a tech whiz to help them destroy/hide any and all evidence that they were ever on the system.

[Greylyn58]

55. If they did, then that will PROVE that

the deletions were intentional!!! That's called obstruction and destroying evidence and Fitzgerald can frag their asses for it.

Look what they did to Nixon and his cronies for erasing his tapes.

[ralps]

24. Barely a blip on the outrage Meter, Gack Pat Buchanan, No Keith Not Him!!!

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

[crispini]

26. I find him the least annoying of the conservative commentators.

Which is a SHOCKING remark considering how RW he USED to be and now he comes off as a moderate. :eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

28. Crazy world, ain't it?

:hi: Shabbat Shazam!
http://www.rankinbass.com/images/shazam!3.jpg

[SharonRB]

33. Shabbat Shalom, Pats

[crispini]

36. Bwahahahaha!

Hey, I think tonight might be a good time to buy some ties! It seems like everyone has dropped by recently eh?

[Clark2008]

45. Billy!!!

Shazaam!!

(Which is a Middle Eastern hero, btw. ;) )

[Patsy Stone]

50. Hey, Clark!

Billy Batson and his "mentor" travel the world in that damn Winabago. "Mentor" is that what they called it then?



And communcating with the "elders"... Uh-huh...

[bleever]

57. Shabbat Shazzam to you, Pats.

[Patsy Stone]

67. Does he come with one of these:

If not, I think I prefer the "Dry Look".




:hi:

[bleever]

75. I'm kind of embarrassed...

I don't remember that show. Am I too old?

[Patsy Stone]

78. Maybe you just had a life

and I didn't? :)

[bleever]

98. Kinda doubting that...

:)

[Patsy Stone]

107. Well...

maybe then it's that you had a car? :)

[RevCheesehead]

39. Ain't it strange?

I even look back on history and think "Nixon wasn't such a bad guy after all."

[SharonRB]

41. I say that all the time

How I wish for the good old days of Watergate, Nixon, Ehrlichmann and Haldeman.

[RevCheesehead]

49. At least then, you knew who were the bad guys.

And who was in charge.
Hey, wasn't Cheney a part of that administration?

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

109. Isn't it funny? One of my sisters is like that. She misses Nixon.

I guess she thinks he was so unmistakably bad that when you look back on him, he seems nostalgically lovable. LOL!

[Patsy Stone]

43. "Quaint" is the word I'd use.

He was nuts, but only about certain things, and you knew it.

[SharonRB]

46. At least he had a brain and knew about foreign policy

The current twit has no brain.

[gkhouston]

133. Nixon was a crook

but smart and competent, compared to blivet**.

[gkhouston]

132. he's a strange animal

I never know when an intelligent remark is going to fall out of his mouth. Somedays he's batshit crazy; other days, he's a sage.

[CBHagman]

74. I'm sick of everything being the Democrats' problem.

I'm sure you all know the drill: "So it seems there were no weapons of mass destruction, there's massive corruption and mayhem in Iraq, hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent on a war we haven't won yet, and of course the U.S. is in debt and in deficit. On top of that, Dick Cheney kicked a Girl Scout in the shins, and the Bush twins were discovered turning tricks on Thomas Circle. So how is this going to be a problem for the Democrats?" :grr:

Not that Keith would ever frame the debate that way, but more than a few anchors and various news clowns follow that script.

[SharonRB]

30. Even Buchanan disagrees with Bush

He's been against the war for a long time now.

[Patsy Stone]

35. Pat has been talking sense about *

for a long time. I agree with a man with whom I've always disagreed. :scared:

[SharonRB]

37. It is pretty scary, Pats

I remember last year before the election hearing him disagree with Bush and I was amazed that I could actually agree with Buchanan on anything.

[crispini]

31. BWAH, "Wilsonian nonsense."

Buchanan made a funny. Can you imagine how it would horrify Blivet to be compared to Wilson? :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

38. Because he's so much more like Hoover

Can't believe he didn't set up Bushvilles in NOLA.

[crispini]

47. Now that's the truth.

We'd like to thank you George W!
For really showing us the way.
You dirty rat, you bureaucrat,
You made us what we are today. :(

[SharonRB]

34. Oooh, Pat called KO "Chris"

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

44. It's 'cuz he's old.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

111. Yeah, Pat loses it sometimes.

I've heard him call Keith "Chris" before.

[WolverineDG]

48. Hi everyone!

I started my birthday celebrations early...took the day off. :party:

Here's a sucker bet: that Scooter's atty's trial set for September either gets continued, settles, or caves. :grr:

Yes, Berry, you're right. I think it was burned microfilm though, conveniently of shrubbie's NG records...someone keeping the records made an "oopsie."

OMG, did I just agree with what Pat Buchanan said? :wow:

:loveya: ko, you're looking good tonight!

And remember, vote early, vote often, vote Boccara!

dg

[SharonRB]

51. We all seem to have agreed with Pat -- Amazing, huh?

Is your birthday tomorrow? Happy, happy.

:party:

[WolverineDG]

53. Wonders will never cease

Yep, tomorrow's the big day. I was going to go to San Antonio, but didn't feel well yesterday & called off my plans. :( Oh well, more $$ for NYC I suppose.

dg

[crispini]

65. Feel better. (HUG). Take zinc, it really works.

That is, if "didn't feel well" means "a cold." :P

[WolverineDG]

97. I don't have zinc

but I've been loading up on Vitamin C & made sure I slept in today. :)

dg

[crispini]

112. Go buy some! I got the zinc lozenges, and I swear it made

my SECOND cold much easier to bear than my FIRST cold was. Shorter, too.

[RevCheesehead]

52. An early Happy Birthday to you, DG!

:party::toast::party:

And remember, YOUR BIRTH is worthy of celebration! :bounce:

[WolverineDG]

100. Thanks Rev!!

:toast:

dg

[Berry Cool]

113. Yeah, Wolfie! Enjoy!

Or we'll have to do something about it!

[WolverineDG]

115. Thanks Berry!

:toast:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

56. The Garcia is in addition to,

not instead of, the Boccara. That one's already going so there's no reason to vote anymore for that one. The run off is only for which of the Garcia ties to send too.

Happy B-day! :toast:

[WolverineDG]

102. I know that

but I don't like either of the Garcia ties. blech. yuk.

thanks pats!! :toast:

dg

[Gogi]

142. I don't either...

But I voted anyway. Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!!!!

[WolverineDG]

144. Thanks Gogi!

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!!

dg

[CBHagman]

61. Early happy birthday, WolverineDG!

:applause: :woohoo:

What's on for the great day itself?

[WolverineDG]

103. Thanks CB!

I'll probably do my normal stuff for tomorrow since I'm not going to San Antonio. :cry:

dg

[CBHagman]

125. I hope your "normal stuff" is at least fun.

No cleaning out the garage or doing laundry! Please do something just for yourself. Something FUN.

You might need something from here...



...and someone to serve it...



Make a wish!

[WolverineDG]

129. now THAT

would be nice!

Thanks CB!

dg

[gkhouston]

134. aww....

:hug: Here's hoping you feel a bit better today. Hey, maybe that extra money will come in handy in NYC. Don't lend it to Crispy for new cuffs, though. (Buy your own.)

[WolverineDG]

145. hee hee

sssshhhhh....don't tell her!! we're sharing a room, so she might sneak into my luggage while i'm asleep! ;)

dg

[gkhouston]

147. and exactly what do you have in your luggage

that would make Crispy want to hide there? ;-)

[WolverineDG]

148. not hide, silly

search (without a warrant). ;)

dg

[CC]

138. Happy Birthday WDG

Hope you have a great day and a great year. :hug:

[WolverineDG]

146. thanks cc!!

hug all the fur kids for me, 'k? :hug:

dg

[CC]

149. That I will do.

Will even give them an extra treat in celebration of your b-day.

[crispini]

62. Happy b'day girlfriend!

:toast::party::bounce::toast::party::bounce::toast::party::bounce::toast::party::bounce::toast::party::bounce::toast::party::bounce::toast::party::bounce::toast::party::bounce:

[bleever]

54. Boy, you get here ten minutes late and you never catch up!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

60. Hi, bleev.

That's why whenever I miss the first part of the show, I don't even try to join in.

I did like the Morlock reference last night, though. :D

:hi:

[bleever]

63. Howdy, Cheeseness.

Man, I can still hear the sound of those Morlock machines coming up from underground as I shiver in my footie pajamas.


Don't hitchhike with this guy!

[RevCheesehead]

66. what I always wondered was ...

what happened to the prototype? And is that cigar still as fresh as it once was?

[bleever]

87. OT: who ya want in the Super Bowl?

And is your man Brett going to retire? He's already a lock for the Hall.

[RevCheesehead]

92. Seattle... solely for Mike Holmgren.

And the latest on Brett is that he's undecided, but leaning towards hanging it up. :cry:

[bleever]

110. I can't believe I forgot the Holmgren connection!

And Brett's had a phenomenal career.

:thumbsup:

[Greylyn58]

58. TWO DOLLARS!!! I want my two dollars!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

59. I want my two dollars!!! Two dollars!

[RevCheesehead]

64. It ain't about burning black churches...

It's about burning baptist and fundamentalist churches.

Media people have such small minds.

[Berry Cool]

114. So, why are people burning those kinds of churches?

It all just seems so strange.

Horrid ferry disaster too. Incredible. Sad.

[RevCheesehead]

118. Anyone who's got a grudge against the Religious Right.

I think the bigger question is, why hasn't this happened before?

[gkhouston]

135. good question. Usually, it *is* about burning black churches

because they're sort of a mini-power nexus within the black community in small towns, but this does sound like an attack on the Religious Right. I'm guessing the arsonist is local and has some sort of beef against the church -- maybe someone who was abused by a Baptist elder or minister?

[Muffstser]

68. Hi, Berry! Where'd the photo come from?

I read somewhere that he deoesn't wear PJs... :)

[Berry Cool]

116. I done told ya guys where the image came from...

...it's an old SportsCenter commercial. Obviously Keith was made to change his normal PJ-less ways for purposes of the ad. Heck, for all we know, this wasn't even the house he was living in at the time.

The things they fake in the media. Next thing you know, some guy will be writing some fake story about his recovery from drug addiction!

[RevCheesehead]

70. You know, I've got to stop watching NBC news...

They and Keith use the same news footage... the capsized ferry, the church burnings, and now the computer safety story.

[Berry Cool]

119. Yep. Keith's show recycles a lot of taped NBC News stories.

Which is fine with me because I get home too late to see NBC News. Besides, that way I get my regular dose of David Gregory sometimes even when there hasn't been a fun conference with Puffy McMoonface.

[crispini]

71. Oh, gawd, now I want a pizza.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum.

[RevCheesehead]

77. I was thinking the same thing, Crispi...

Tombstone? or Delivery? :dilemma:

Ah, Tombstone now - delivery when I'm at Mom & Dad's next week.

[gkhouston]

136. LOL, it inspired pizza craving in my house, too.

I promised hubby I'd make him one from scratch tomorrow if he'd buy the toppings.

[Gogi]

143. Yum...pizza!

Can't get pizza delivery here!:cry:


No. 317 of 1,000 reasons I want to move into Washington, MO.

[crispini]

72. That's so cool to be buried with your pet.

What a great idea.

[Greylyn58]

76. I think so too

There are many people who have no family and consider their pets as family..

Great idea!!!

[RevCheesehead]

79. Awwwwww....

A baby Sheridan! :loveya:

[Greylyn58]

83. That's my boy on the night I brought him home

He was just 12 weeks old.

Wasn't he a cutie?? :D

[ralps]

86. Awwwwwwwwwwwww What a cutie pie!!!

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

[SharonRB]

73. I wonder why KO isn't in town for the Stupid Bowl

Everyone else is here, it seems, from Paris Hilton to P Diddy to Rob Schneider to Jimmy Kimmel...thank goodness * isn't going to be here. Doesn't the president usually go to the game?

[WolverineDG]

95. I'm not going to watch

I'll be watching the Puppy Bowl. :)

dg

[Patsy Stone]

99. :)

And Monday and Tuesday it's Westminster!

[SharonRB]

104. Darn -- I'll be in Atlanta

I love watching the dog show, but I guess I'll miss it.

[Patsy Stone]

124. It's usually on USA

which is basic cable. You may have some luck.

[SharonRB]

139. We always have a lot going on

I doubt I'll be back in my room by the time it comes on.

[WolverineDG]

108. Oh boy, dog snobs!

;)

they never let the Labs win! :grr: Labradogs are the bestest!

dg

[Patsy Stone]

126. Us or them?

Me? I love 'em all equally. I don't hate them because they're beautiful! :)

My friend always wanted the Irish Wolfhound to win. The big dogs never win. It's usually a "LWD" (little white dog).

[WolverineDG]

128. Dog snobs = them

Yeah, those little toy yip-yaps win all the time. Geez louise, if you're going to get a dog that small, GET A CAT!!!!

BTW, "Best in Show"? HI-larious. :rofl:

dg

[Berry Cool]

120. Why should KO go to town for the game?

It's not as if he has to cover it. I know, this will come as a shock to some people but...he's not on SportsCenter anymore. :-) And football is not his favorite sport anyway. Naah, that little smile that seems to come more easily to Keith's face by the day is probably more likely inspired by thoughts like "Only 12 days now until pitchers and catchers report."

No, I don't think * usually does go to the game. You know how it is...someone wins, then he calls the locker room to congratulate them. That's pretty much his role in the thing.

[gkhouston]

137. that right there would be a good reason to stay home.

You mentioned a lot of celebrities. How many news anchors will be there?

[SharonRB]

140. I don't know about anchors, but there are tons of news people

in town.

[RevCheesehead]

80. Seahawks will win!

It's destiny. O8)

[SharonRB]

82. You sure it's not density?

[Patsy Stone]

85. I'm going to cheer for both

and be happy either way. I want both teams to win.

[SharonRB]

93. I'm rooting for Pittsburgh, but I don't really care that much either way

We may get a hugh snowstorm on Sunday. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

[SharonRB]

81. Multiply what's going on everywhere else by at least 100

to get what's going on here.

[Patsy Stone]

84. Completely O/T but...

I can't WAIT for the Olympics! I loooove the Olympics.

[SharonRB]

91. I like the opening and closing ceremonies and the

skating. The rest, not so much.

[Patsy Stone]

94. I watch all of it

Well, as much as I can. By the end of the two weeks my head is so full of useless time records in Women's Luge. :)

[SharonRB]

101. I may watch the women's speed skating this year

The daughter of the global head of our practice at work is skating. She's very young.

[Berry Cool]

121. Not at all off topic!

It's going to break my heart, in fact, knowing I'll have to skip Keith till the re-air so many nights...because I'm going to be watching the Olympics. Sorry, Keith.

[Patsy Stone]

88. Selling the soul of the whale from the Thames on eBay!

OMG!

[ralps]

89. Today's worst person in the world- Micheal Garabay for trying to sell

drugs to a policeman seated in a squad car!!! LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[crispini]

90. Now that's freaking stupid.

[WolverineDG]

117. nah, what's freaking stupid

is actually BIDDING on it. :dunce:

dg

[Berry Cool]

122. Keith may have to have a separate section of the show for

Dumbest Criminal in the World vs. Worst Person in the World. It sounds like Mr. Coke Pusher qualifies more for the former than the latter.

[SharonRB]

96. You're getting sleepy, you're getting very sleepy

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

127. Hey, I made the Greatest Page.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2085045

Really, it's an honor just to be nominated... :blush:

[crispini]

130. Yay!

Congrats!

[Patsy Stone]

131. Thanks!

Okay, I saw your response about the cards. That's a good thing. :thumbsup:

[SharonRB]

141. Way to go, Pats!
