[Clark2008]

Evenin' all! :hi:

Keith: "Does (the London shooting) this qualify as fighting them in our streets?"

[Patsy Stone]

1. Another new suit?

Right? Brown. Lovely. Hi, all! :loveya:

But it is a new tie.

ed: to include doubt.

[SharonRB]

5. Looks new to me.

He sure did some heavy duty shopping when he was on vacation.

On edit: I like the new tie a lot -- way better than the one he wore Wednesday. Is it just me, though, or does the shirt not go with the tie? Looks pink to me.

[gkhouston]

63. I'll have to watch the re-air

Just got home and thought I'd zip through the thread before watching. Do you think bitching about his suits for months on end finally had some effect?

[Berry Cool]

106. Sorry, but this is a thumbs-down combo for me.

I could handle the new suit with another tie. Or the new tie with a different suit.

But this suit, and this tie, together were a no-go for me. *sigh*

[bleever]

16. Hmm...not sure about that color. But I'm so unmetrosexual.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

17. The shirt is what's got me -- it totally doesn't go with the tie

and ruins the outfit.

[gkhouston]

74. now that I've seen the outfit...

I completely agree. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: on the suit; well-tailored, good color, and has a nice sheen on camera. The tie I'm not so sure of, mostly because of the shirt. There's a reddish-brownish color in the tie that doesn't appear to match the suit but which might harmonize with it, but I'm so distracted by the glowing shirt it's hard to tell. This shirt probably looks great with something else, but in combination with this suit, it's like watching a little yip-yip dog who's just heard the doorbell ring. Get it a tranquilizer, stat!

and yes, the shirt does appear to be a pale pink or a white with distinct pinkish overtones. You'd think that would go well with a brown suit, but the contrast is very stark. It could be that this combo looks great under normal lighting but the lighting in the TV studio make the shirt glow.

[crispini]

83. The suit was OK..

nothing to write home about, but nice enough, but that tie! Noooot with that outfit, nohow. And the lighting in the first part of the show was making him look really yellow for some reason.

[Patsy Stone]

20. Sharon's right.

It's the pink shirt.

But now, it's Wilson time. :)

:hi:

[bleever]

24. Yep. Looks like he washed that shirt with a red sports jersey.

I had pink underwear and socks for a year for that reason.

Wilson! Go!

:hi:

[spooky3]

35. He needs a wife. Get in line behind me. :-)

[bleever]

38. Another brave male venturing into KOEB territory?

Or, perhaps not. I know a lot of women who need wives.

[spooky3]

42. no, another lovestruck woman volunteering for the role

sorry, didn't mean to presume your gender, Bleever

[bleever]

48. LOL. Now I understand the confusion.

And? By the way? The end of the line is over..................there.


:)

[spooky3]

52. yeah, the line's reeeaaallll long; we need to clone the guy.

[Berry Cool]

107. I have needed a wife for a LONG time.

But given that I will never have one, I have no choice but to hope I can someday teach the cats to cook and clean. It's about time they earned their keep.

[gkhouston]

64. are you ruralsexual?

funny, I never pictured you with mules. :silly:

[bleever]

79. You don't have to grow up on a farm to LOVE animals.

Fortunately, the suburb I grew up in had a "heavy petting zoo".

[RevCheesehead]

84. ...

:rofl::spray: Really, Bleev - leave the sheep alone, will ya?

[gkhouston]

86. actually, I think he was trying

to get your goat. :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

88. oh, gina -

that was baa-aa-aa-aad. :hi:

[gkhouston]

90. and you somehow expected

more of me? :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

92. Naa-aaa-aa

You're fine just the way you are. :)

[SharonRB]

2. Hi, Clark and Pats

Shabbat Shalom

[Patsy Stone]

3. Shabbat Shalom to you, Sharon

How are you?

[SharonRB]

4. Just fine

and glad it's Friday. I'm so looking foward to going to Conyers' town hall tomorrow. lwfern and I are driving down together and we're going to meet up with some other DUers (PassingFair, MrsGrumpy, livvy and Mich Otter and his wife).

[Patsy Stone]

6. Very cool

That's great. Have a wonderful time. Would you please give him a big kiss for me? :loveya:

[SharonRB]

7. If I get to meet him, yes.

[Clark2008]

8. Wonderful!

I love John Conyers.

:loveya:

[bleever]

46. Enjoy, Sharon! I got to watch Conyers on C-Span today at the CIA

hearings re: damage from the leak.

Give him a kiss for me, too, if you get the chance.

[SharonRB]

50. Will do, Bleev

I'm sorry I didn't get to see any of that today. Do you know if they're going to replay it?

On edit: Nevermind -- I just checked and it's on now.

[bleever]

57. I liked all these guys. Larry Johnson, Republican, disgusted by

the lack of guts among people in his part to stand up against this shit.

[Gogi]

58. Hello everybody!

What's all this boohooing about getting up in the dark? used to do it myself. Had to, the voters would'nt approve any school bonds so we had split shifts. It's so wonderful standing out in the dark (5:30AM), on a nice bitterly cold winter's day, in a skirt and stockings (no girl is wearing pants to school, no sir!). Bleh, did I ever tell you I hated high school?:mad:



:hi: KO, something else we have in common, ridin' on the schoolbus!

[gkhouston]

65. I did it, too.

Pitch black, 10 degrees below zero, four inches of snow on the ground and more falling. One of the reasons I don't miss Boulder.

[Clark2008]

9. So I'm at home, alone, on a Friday night...

Where are you guys?!

:(

I was ready for a party!

[SharonRB]

11. I'm home with hubby.

[Clark2008]

14. My guy's going golfing early in the morning, so he's just going

to grab a beer with his roommate and go to bed early.

I had housework, yard work and a fill valve in the toilet to replace, so we decided he'll come over tomorrow afternoon.

I'm about half asleep, to be quite honest. This heat is awful.

[WolverineDG]

19. can't stay to party tonight

:(

i'm going bowling after the show. yeah, i know, you're all jealous of me with my big-city life.... ;)

dg

[gkhouston]

66. damn girl, you already married again?

;-)

We had a church function with the little one: the end of a week of vacation bible school. Woo hoo hoo.

[Clark2008]

77. Already?

I've been divorced for four years!

This one is a keeper... big time.

Ramzey was in VBS last week!

[gkhouston]

78. did he have fun?

the theme was "Kingdom of the Son" -- lots of wild animal stuff (not just the kids, LOL) and a general safari atmosphere. The lady who decorated the church's rooms really outdid herself as far as making clever yet inexpensive decorations. The kids loved it.

[RevCheesehead]

85. Hooray!!!

I hope he had a great time. VBS is a great way to make friends, and enjoy summer without the pressure of school and other activities to get in the way.

I saw your post in the Lounge - this guy is really faboo, isn't he? :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

10. Anyone see Fareed Zakaria last night on the Daily Show?

http://www.comedycentral.com/sitewide/media_player/play.jhtml?itemId=16573

He was great. If that link doesn't work, just go to Daily Show main video page and it's the first one.

[gkhouston]

67. I did and he *was* great

KO should get him. Presentable, articulate, informed, and doesn't give a 30-word answer when a 10-word answer will do. Just what you need for television.

[Clark2008]

12. The Benton girls live down the street from me

Just so you know.

[SharonRB]

13. They have such a great attitude.

I don't think I wouldn't be angry with the bombers.

[Clark2008]

23. See, not all of us Southerners are wild-eyed idiots.

LOL!

[SharonRB]

15. I wonder where everyone else is tonight --

Looks like it's just the three of us.

[Patsy Stone]

18. I wonder as well.

At least we can entertain ourselves. We all seem like talkers. :)

[bleever]

22. I'm here, but with two kids who don't share my priorities about Keef.

Darn meddling kids. Good thing they look like me.

[gkhouston]

68. do they wear their patches on the same side?

:evilgrin: If not, they might not be yours...

[Patsy Stone]

21. Stories no matchy.

Hmmm. What are they hiding? :)

[Clark2008]

25. Cover up, cover up, cover up

And it's too damn hot to cover up!

:evilgrin:

[bleever]

27. Burns the covers right off.

:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

26. Joe Wilson

and his wife really got shafted by these bozos.

Please let Fitzgerald be doing his job with due diligence and care. Amen.

[bleever]

28. Amen, sister. In fact, we was all shafted. Time to return to sender.

"* is not a straight shooter."

Tell it, Joe!

[spooky3]

29. Joe's doing great. If only every American were watching.

[spooky3]

31. "considering civil suits"? "We're keeping our options open."

[SharonRB]

34. My thoughts exactly.

He's so credible -- if everyone could just hear what he has to say and look at him, they'd have to know who's telling the truth around here. And I'd believe Tim Russert long before I'd believe Scooter or Kkkkarl.

[bleever]

30. Wilson is great. He really makes his points well, and without

accusing *, leaves the door open.

Slams Mehlman and the RNC talking-pointyheads.

[spooky3]

32. Keith made excellent use of limited time with Wilson.

great questions, great answers

[Patsy Stone]

33. But he said it

in a very diplomatic way, as if to imply he ever was. That was a great interview.

ed: because I screwed up.

[bleever]

41. Yes, big props to KO for a focused and incisive interview.

Way to go, Big Kahuna.

:thumbsup:

[Patsy Stone]

45. I think the interview

deserved many :loveya:s. See bunny's post for a start. :)

[Muffstser]

36. Just got home!

Boy, am I glad this week is over. Yeesh.

Anything good happen? I've taping it to watch the first half later.

I'm having a love/hate thing with KO's wardrobe tonight!

[SharonRB]

43. Hi, Muffster

Yeah, we've discussed it. The tie is great, but the shirt doesn't go with the rest of the outfit at all. A nice cream colored shirt would be much, much better.

Joe Wilson's interview was great.

[bunny planet]

37. I have to just say, I LOVE KEITH OLBERMAN.

He won me over slowly, at first I only posted little tiny floaties for him. But after watching him since November, and seeing that he is literally the ONLY class act in television news, the ONLY man who gives dignified interviews and follows up on important stories that all the others overlook, denigrate, or spin beyond recognition, I can finally announce my complete, and utter, love, and admiration for this man. There aren't enough floatacular devices to even begin to express my gratitude. In the vast wasteland that corporate television news has become he is our salvation. I adore this man. What a class act, what a great interview with Joe Wilson. There are so many of us out here who are starved for the truth, and KO is doing his best, in a sea of mediocrity surrounding him, to give it to us. Thank you Keith.

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

[Patsy Stone]

40. Lovely unsolicited testimonial, bun!

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

[bunny planet]

44. I couldn't help myself. He is just such a gentleman and a scholar.

[RevCheesehead]

70. Aww...

Now your little bunny heart is thumpin'! :loveya:

[SharonRB]

47. Ditto to everything you just said, Bunny.

KO is definitely a mentsch.

[bleever]

54. Anyone volunteer to send bunny's post to Countdown?

I think she speaks for us all.

Good one, bunny!

:)

[bunny planet]

56. Somebody else do it, I'm too shy. I am writing him a note with similar

compliments later, I also want to suggest he cover some of the testimony from the former CIA agents who spoke at the Democratic hearing today on the Treasongate/Rove/Libby affair. It was such an important meeting and so many vital things were said, I just can't bare that everyone else in the MSM is ignoring it. It will still be news on Monday, I hope KO saw it or is going to watch it. Did anyone email him about it yet?

[bleever]

60. C'mon, ladies: I'm a Man. I can't forward a post with "floatacular"

in it. Maybe this is a job for Patsy, Berry, or Clark. They've got the email mojo.

And you're right, bunny. Any of those ex-CIA guys would actually make great guests, especially Johnson because he trained with "Valerie P."

[bunny planet]

61. Johnson was awesome today. When is someone going to call that ugly

dog and ugly dog. Brilliant, especially since he was talking about Republicans, and singled out McCain.

[bleever]

62. Loved, loved the way he mentioned McCain's pathetic apologist

act for a treasonous act. I feel ashamed for John McCain.

[WolverineDG]

81. hasn't larry j already been on countdown?

i thought he had been, but he's been cropping up all over the place lately so who knows? :shrug:

but yes, he'd be a great guest regarding the hearing that took place on friday.

dg

[bleever]

104. I'm not sure; you may be right. If so, have him back again.

The country will be saved by the people of conscience in the Republican party. They've seemed few and far between until lately.

[Berry Cool]

108. Since when do *I* have "the email mojo"?

Keith *never* answers any of my email. Naah, I haven't got what it takes to get a reply out of him. You'll have to look elsewhere, Austin Powers!

[gkhouston]

69. Lord, bleever, they've already seen it by now.

:hi:

[bleever]

80. I hope so. Also, I like the sound of that: "Lord Bleever".

Thanks!

;)

[RevCheesehead]

87. *ahem*

Careful now.... :spank:

[gkhouston]

91. actually, I rather liked the idea

of Lord Bleever, the Pirate Peer. (He does do a lot of peering.)

[bleever]

105. Now THAT was pretty damn funny.

:7

[gkhouston]

76. It was a WONDERFUL interview

I'm not much of one for these, but here's one for Keith :loveya:

and let's send one out for Joe Wilson :loveya:

'cause he's another class act. I'd like to think I could show that much restraint and presence of mind if someone had screwed my life over the way the Wilsons have been screwed the past two years (and it's still going on, worse than ever), but I doubt I could pull it off.

I wish NBC would air this interview as a special segment of their evening news broadcast on Monday. They covered a tremendous amount of territory in a short amount of time and Joe Wilson exudes credibility from every pore. And his ties are much nicer than Dan Abrams'. ;-) (Okay, it's late, and how would you know it was a post from me if it didn't have at least one smartass remark in it?)

[WolverineDG]

82. re: the ties this week

no, gk, the smartass remark about the ties is spot on. i swear they passed around that damned striped tie this week from keith to one of his guests to tucker to rev. sharpton on tucker's show....what was it made out of? scraps from the technicolor dream coat?

dg

edited because it's saturday & i'm :dunce:

[RevCheesehead]

89. not to mention..

that Joe's pretty easy on the eyes, too. :loveya:

[gkhouston]

93. I'd say he's only average in the

"easy on the eyes" category. No third eye, no nose on the side of the face. But man, he's got more class than the whole Bush administration put together, and that's powerfully attractive. I'll take an intelligent man with character over a pretty boy any day of the week (and twice on Sundays :evilgrin:).

[RevCheesehead]

94. I like "average"

Men are so lucky - they age gracefully. Like Keith, he's gotten better-looking as he's gotten older.

[gkhouston]

95. he's definitely improved with age

both inwardly and outwardly, as near as I can tell. Now, if he could only coordinate his outfits properly... that tie-shirt-suit combo last night was a disaster (nice suit, though).

[RevCheesehead]

96. The mark of a single man...

outfits with no fashion sense. (no offense, guys)

[gkhouston]

97. yeah, he either needs a wife

or a nanny. Not sure which. :7

[RevCheesehead]

98. Just keep him away from the actresses.

Including Mary Carey - especially Mary Carey. :)

[gkhouston]

99. honey, he's not going anywhere near the actresses

unless he's completely anal and his home is wallpapered with missives, he must have been burned pretty badly to have left a note to himself that reads, "actresses act". He does not want to go there again. Ever.

[RevCheesehead]

100. Poor Keith -

He just doesn't realize all the fine EDV's awaiting him - he could have his pick of the very best.

[gkhouston]

101. think he's a cheese-lover, now do you?

:7

[RevCheesehead]

102. Well, let's see...

How many times have we seen the Cheese Roll?
How many times has the word "cheesy" been used - and not in a bad way?
Nobody can resist the power of Cheese. :7

[gkhouston]

103. :-)

good luck to you, my curdled friend. ;-)

[Muffstser]

39. THINK OF THE PORN!

Oh, Lordy. KO's on a roll. What a grin!

[Patsy Stone]

49. KO/Wilson GD thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4171439

[Clark2008]

51. Thank you! I was hunting for that one!

:hug:

[bunny planet]

53. And how 'bout that Freeper Posterboy with the gold spray paint still

around his mouth. I think we've just found this year's Moran.

[Gogi]

59. If he kills himself he'll be a Darwin Award candidate!

eom

[Gogi]

55. George W. Bush, the baloney sandwich of presidents!

On wonder bread which builds strong bones, especially in your head!:dunce:

[RevCheesehead]

71. Anyone else here for the re-Countdown?

:hi:

*sound of crickets*

I fell asleep, but the TV was on - and I had a lovely Keith dream! :blush:

[gkhouston]

72. oh? What kind of lovely?

:evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

73. Um, ahhh, yeah - THAT kind of lovely.

A bunch of us KOEBers were waiting for Keith after the show, and he decided to join us to go see a movie (I have no idea which movie). He was quite shy at first, but then really loosened up. :blush:

Let's just say I'm sorry I woke up. :7

[gkhouston]

75. hee

I hope you didn't wake up too soon. :-)

The only dream I ever had about KO was totally goofy. He was naked (okay, that's not so goofy, heh), but I chose not to look. When I woke up, I thought, why didn't you look, you moron? It's only a dream! Who's gonna know? Sheesh, talk about married...

[Berry Cool]

109. Aw, that's sad.

And what's even sadder is that while I was away, my power must have gone out sometime between Thursday and Friday. Which means my VCR did not tape Keith Friday night.

I got to see the show, but now I have no tape of it. And because I was back late Monday night, I even had to tape the re-air because I didn't get the live show.

Talk about banging your head. ARRRRGGHHHHHHHHH...
