17. pardon the diversion, Gellie

[Gelliebeans]

23. I love French and Saunders n/t

[Duppers]

48. got ya

[Gelliebeans]

54. Oh I thought you knew who it was

I am sorry Duppers I am a little giddy in the head due to lack of sleep. My bad.

[Duppers]

97. no problem :)

Those two are funny, but I didn't watch them when I lived in the UK, strange as that is.

Btw, you and SeattleGirl girl have done a tremendous job covering the events of the night.

Some of those threads will land in Jeff's DUzies, I'm sure. I don't think it just my lack of sleep that caused me to howl at some of the comments.

:)


:yourock:

[SeattleGirl]

7. Oh boy. Hatch is up.

:puke:

[cboy4]

10. Oh boy.

:puke:

[ellisonz]

13. Oh boy.

:puke:

[Gelliebeans]

12. Isn't he slimey?

[SeattleGirl]

14. Definitely, 'scuse me while I go take a shower.

[Pachamama]

Hatch-hole just commented on the halls of Congress being roamed by people in "pink"

Oh the Horror!!!!! :scared:

I look at that man and with similar feelings that I have for Lieberman, even more so, I realize that he is a shill for this administration and is in so deep....


OOPS!!!! He just slipped and said "IRAN" instead of IRAQ....

(Truth reveals itself very often at unexpected times...)

:hi: Seattlegirl!

[SeattleGirl]

22. Run, run from the evil Pink ones!

And hey, Pachamama! :hi:

[Pachamama]

33. Looks like we both are pulling all-nighters watching the activities, eh?

I can't sleep....I'm sitting here online and listening/watching to the speeches....I move and vascillate between hearing the Dems speak with passion, and then the Repukes spew their talking points (with the only exception so far being Olympia Snowe....sheesh, when will she finally just walk away from the party of corruption and atleast become Independent).

I probably should go to sleep soon, but I'll wait to hear one more Dem speak, because going to bed with the last image and voice being Orrin Hatch will give me nightmares....

:puke:

[Lasher]

8. I keep thinking about John and Teresa representing us in Europe

instead of George and Laura.

[Gelliebeans]

15. George don't like that foreign food

He is afraid of it.

[Lasher]

24. Where's the pig? Huh? Huh? Can we eat the pig now?

How about 'nuther kneck massage there, Merkel?

[Gelliebeans]

27. Pulled pork sandwiches

and mac and cheese. :rofl: Absolutely hilarious Lasher.

[Lasher]

31. Wasn't nothin'. There's so much material on this guy it's easy.

I'm sure the late night comedy writers are having an easy time.

[Gelliebeans]

9. Republicans love to change

the subject. It is always about ignoring the obvious.

[ellisonz]

11. Hatch is such a smarmy POS.

"The biggest conflict we face in the whole 21st century..."

Senator, the delegation from the Peoples Republic of China objects!

[Lasher]

16. Hatch said something about remarks he was going to make this evening.

The sun just came up here and everything. Guess he doesn't know the difference between night and day.

[SeattleGirl]

20. Wait 'till the light hits him.

He'll scurry back to his coffin post haste!

[Lasher]

26. Ha ha!!! Hope he bursts into flames.

[SeattleGirl]

29. Ooooh, and they say spontaneous combustion is a myth!

:rofl:

[Terri S]

21. well, yeah... that's pretty obvious

gawd, he's insufferable! What a contrast from Kerry

[malaise]

35. Good morning all

What did I do to wake up and hear Hatch? :eyes: :puke:

[cboy4]

18. Oh boy. Keep an eye on his nose.

[Gelliebeans]

19. Irony??? Now that is funny, Hatch. n/t

[SeattleGirl]

25. Would someone PLEASE kick me, and send me to bed???

My eyes are watering, and I'm drooling. How much more of a hint do I need??? x(

[Gelliebeans]

28. I don't want you to leave

but I am selfish. :blush:

[SeattleGirl]

30. I'm flattered.

I'm also drooling, but this is hypnotic theater, for sure. I know I need to get some sleep, but I can't seem to reach for the remote to turn the damned thing off!

[Lasher]

43. Night, Mary Ellen.

Just 5 minutes more Mommy, please?

[SeattleGirl]

49. :snerk:

Are you my daughter in disguse???

:rofl:

Actually, it's been a number of years since I heard that!

[ellisonz]

32. Hit the cot!

:hangover:

[SeattleGirl]

34. Reid won't let me!

:rofl:

[Pachamama]

37. Here's your kick....but wait until Hatch-hole is done and see/listen to one more Dem speak...

You don't want the last thing you saw before going to dreamland being Orrin Hatch....It causes nightmares....

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

39. So true!

I think Obama may be coming up next. I'll tape the eyelids open!

[Gelliebeans]

50. You don't wanna miss Obama

I love his smile.

[SeattleGirl]

53. I know. I'm trying to hang on here!

Damned good thing I work from home and make my own schedule. If I had to punch a timeclock, I'd be in BIG trouble!!!

[Gelliebeans]

59. I am fortunate that way also.

but I have out of towners visiting and I AM NOT making breakfast.

[SeattleGirl]

64. Send 'em to Denny's!

[Terri S]

56. is Obama coming up?

I just got up a little while ago and wondered if I missed him

[SeattleGirl]

62. I saw something a number of HOURS ago that he would be on at

3:00 AM, eastern time. Since it is after that right now, I'm guess that he may be up next.

[Gelliebeans]

65. I was repeating someone else's comment

regarding him speaking next. I do know he hasn't spoke since midnight pacific time.

[Lasher]

36. Hatch: Swim for your lives!!!

Terra terra, we're all gonna drown!!

[Gelliebeans]

40. He is talking about swimming

in the middle of Iraq? :wtf:

[cboy4]

51. omg, my sides hurt from laughing so much this morning!

:rofl:

[Lasher]

55. Me too. I love the late night crowd the best.

[cboy4]

61. Me 2!!

:)

[Gelliebeans]

80. We are having a good time

while we wait as the repukes spew their usual crappola.

[SeattleGirl]

41. OMG! Gotta swim and hide!

[Lasher]

57. Ha ha, you're not going to bed any time soon, are you?

[SeattleGirl]

67. Ssssshhhhh. Don't tell anyone!

:rofl:

[Hissyspit]

45. He said withdrawal would be like jumping off a ship someone said was burning and then finding out

it wasn't burning after all. You still have to deal with your decision to jump off the ship, he said.

Does he not realise the stupid irony of what he just said?!???

[Lasher]

63. I think Senators should have to pass a basic IQ test.

Obviously there currently is none.

[Gelliebeans]

76. They love that word embolden though

and mainland and homeland and terror and 9-11 and well you get the picture.

[HeeBGBz]

38. I see they're still at it

Hatch is an icky thing to wake up to, however.

[Gelliebeans]

44. Welcome HeeBGBz

and yes I couldn't agree more. :hi:

[halobeam]

46. yeah, I just woke up... I'll turn it on once he's done,

(along w/ my coffee)...

[cboy4]

42. Oh Senator Hatch....just stop

[Terri S]

47. diplomacy is a 'weasel way' to get out of it????

wtf??? How can they say things like this without their mouth exploding? Must be a 'gift' .... yikes!

[Lasher]

52. Oh listen, Hatch loves unions all of a sudden

But only the ones in Iran

[SeattleGirl]

58. Well, we have to have freedom over there before we can have it over here.

And we have to have union freedom over there too, before we have it here!

After all, we can't have those slimey, fucked up unionizers soiling Merika, can we? :shrug:

[malaise]

66. LOL

I let out a loud Huh! Now he's talking about all those moderate professional Iraqis. Perhaps someone should tell him that four million of them are refugees.

[Hissyspit]

70. Kerry did tell him that.

He wasn't listening or ignored it.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

74. And he mentioned his love for student dissidents, too

even though his great leader Bush wouldn't allow real student dissidents to get within 10 miles of one of his canned rallies.

[verdalaven]

60. If large areas in Iraq are not in turmoil

job done! Okay, let's get our people home.

[SeattleGirl]

68. Amen! Obviously, they are not needed there any more!

[cboy4]

75. OMG, it's almost 4 o'clock SeattleGirl!!

:cry:

[SeattleGirl]

79. Yeah, I know! But as I said upthread, it's a good thing I work from

home, and make my own schedule, else I'd be shortly unemployed!

[Lasher]

69. Oh now that's it! "Who will we turn to when we need allies?"

Well I don't know, Orrin. Everybody hates us right now. Do you know why that is?

[tsuki]

71. Chickenhawk Hatch. Hey, if you're so worried, it's not too late to enlist. nt

[SeattleGirl]

77. Yeah, I hear the military has upped the age of enlistment!

[SeattleGirl]

72. Shit goddamn! McCain is present again, via Hatch!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[cboy4]

78. Ugh,,,, that is worth three of 'em

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[Gelliebeans]

87. Did you see the old man

stumbling around the floor? See I have been watching the thread so I missed it.

[NRaleighLiberal]

73. Now playing the Vietnam card! amazing....

So, if you listen to these guys, their message is that we will NEVER leave Iraq. They would have it become the 51st state. amazing...sorry, hard to use that term with Hatch - just woke up, can't think yet. Hard to enjoy breakfast watching this arrogant shill.

[Hissyspit]

81. Hatch: Al Qaeda is the new Domino Theory.

Yup. We're talking about Vietnam. Thanks for confirming, Senator.

[cboy4]

82. I wonder if he's going to start crying like Boner.

:eyes:

[SeattleGirl]

83. Orrin, PLEASE SHUT UP! I need to go to bed, but hoping to see Obama

before that.

[HeeBGBz]

84. Emboldened enemies

He dearly loves that phrase, doesn't he.

[ellisonz]

85. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island Up!

Thank ye Gods!

[SeattleGirl]

86. Shoot. Whitehouse, not Obama. But at least it's another Dem!

[Gelliebeans]

91. You know I play

a game with my kid, I show him a picture of a Senator either R or D and ask him to guess which party. He is able to tell by the hair style alone.

[MiniMe]

88. I go to bed, and wake up to.....Hatch

Now I just want to go back to bed and crawl under the covers

[SeattleGirl]

92. Poor you. I have been trying to stay awake just to hear another Dem

just to stave off the nightmares!

[Gelliebeans]

93. Welcome MiniMe

[Lasher]

89. Hatch is making fun of Democrats who are calling this a redeployment instead of withdrawal

Please please, the next Democrat up should remind him of the words of Saint Ronnie of Reagan:

...Three months later, the Reagan administration removed American troops from Beirut and put them aboard offshore ships. Reagan described the retreat as taking "decisive new steps." Explained spokesman Larry Speakes, "We don't consider this a withdrawal but more of a redeployment."

[Hissyspit]

90. I went ahead and started a new thread here since Whitehouse is up:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1365512

[SeattleGirl]

94. Thanks, Hissy!

:yourock:

[Gelliebeans]

95. Thanks Hissyspit

[crappyjazz]

96. ha ha Whitehouse mocking the "slogans"

I wish more folks were watching
