KOEB Meeting 1/27/10: Special SOTU Birthday Edition

[Berry Cool]

The Clubhouse is decorated:



The cake is here:



Wait!!! Who brought THAT thing?? The Olbermann Watch boys?? Get that outta here, it probably has Ex-Lax in it. OK, the wrapped Reese's Cup decorations are both appropriate and funny, but come on.



There now, that's more like it.

Have some cake and celebrate...and try not to be too troubled by what the Prez is going to say tonight...if you can help it.

[Patsy Stone]

1. Aw... That's so nice.

[Patsy Stone]

It was gonna look so good on YouTube. Oy.

Why is David Shuster in New Orleans? Mardi Gras is still weeks away.

[Berry Cool]

7. Or having sex.

:hi: Hi Pats and Wolfie! Something told me John Dean would be along soon...

[Botany]

39. Fun fact

The U.S. Attorney for west Louisiana whose son tried to help bug Sen. Landrieu
.... Well Sen. Landrieu had written President Obama and asked that he be replaced
being the U.S. Attorney* from west Louisiana. The switch was in the works.



* He was a Bush appointee.

Fox News
The CIA http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7578398
A U.S. Attorney
And a right wing shit bag .... Breitbart

This could bring down a lot of shits.

"Don't film yourself committing felonies." U. R. a legal genius.

[Patsy Stone]

44. And

David Vitter is holding up that nomination until he's sure that the kid's dad (East Louisiana) won't be canned, even though Mary said she hadn't even suggested it. Grrrr.

Bunch of criminals. :hi:

[Botany]

48. if we have a good DoJ then people will talk

20 years in a Fed. Pen or tell us why you went there and who hired you?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=7584507&mesg_id=7585287

(btw, what does the 2nd reply say? I have that person on ignore)

dg

[Patsy Stone]

14. It says:

"Very good, I saw that one."

BTW: gotta love the name "Teabuggers". :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

16. wish I could claim that one

but I snagged it from another DUer on FB who got it from someone else. :rofl:

dg

[Berry Cool]

22. It is too, too perfect.

Wow, wonder what got Sister Sarah in dutch with them?? :shrug:

[GigiMommy]

[GigiMommy]

30. Hi Berry!!!

[RevCheesehead]

[Patsy Stone]

18. REV!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

19. Hi Patsy!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

23. How are ya?

[Patsy Stone]

24. James "Superfly" O'Keefe.

LOFL!

[GigiMommy]

36. ....

:rofl:

"...Another junkie playin'; pushin' dope for the man.
A terrible blow, but that's how it go...
Remember, Freddie's dead..."

[RevCheesehead]

26. Hungry!

Thanks for dinner! :9

And you?

[Patsy Stone]

31. Pretty darn good.

In fact, the only thing that could make me happier than being here with you all is tickets to London to see the ABBA World exhibition. http://www.abbaworld.com/news/press

[RevCheesehead]

43. Well, the best I can manage for you

is your own copy of Mama Mia. Sorry. :)

[Berry Cool]

46. Wow. That looks even more fabulous than Johnny Weir

in all his feathered, furred glory.

[Patsy Stone]

52. I still can't believe he made the team.

That long program stunk on ice. :) I'm so glad you've seen that show. Such good cheese.

[Berry Cool]

57. Yeah, not exactly one of his best. Still, he's a long shot for a medal.

Of course, Evan Lysacek and his feathers give Johnny a run for his money in the fab department.

Adding: Don't miss next week's episode, where Johnny goes to Cleveland and blows his chance at making the team for the '09 world championships. (Yeah, I was there to witness the meltdown.)

[Patsy Stone]

59. Evan's "I didn't care enough to shave" thing

kinda ticked me off. Poor Sasha, too. That was a bad program. :(

[Berry Cool]

71. Well, it was her first competition all season long

and I would gather that as an athlete, it's just a bad idea to think you can just parachute back into competition and pull it off.

[bleever]

37. That looks good.

I don't know what kind of drinking game to play tonight. :(

[Patsy Stone]

40. Every time you think to yourself

"Wow, I'm so glad W's not up there", drink.

:)

[bleever]

45. Smart girl.

I'll do that.

:toast:

[Berry Cool]

20. Hey Rev!!!!

:hi: So glad to see you!! :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

29. Thanks, Berry!

I was gonna bring a Tie, but couldn't decide on the Garcia or the Mariott. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

32. That's OK, I guess.

Keith decided he wants to be minty fresh tonight.

[RevCheesehead]

47. But that's at least so much better than

"that not-so-fresh feeling." :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

80. For the record

I don't like this combo.

[GigiMommy]

33. Hi Rev!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

50. Hi Gigi and Cassie!

:hi: :bounce::bounce:

[ralps]

27. Today's worst person in the world is Glenn Beck etc. for attacking Sarah Palin

when she endorsed John McCain over JD Hayworth!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

28. Yeah, I mean, endorsing the guy who picked her as his running mate for president...the noive!!!!

And Keith says: "LEAVE SARAH ALONE!!!"

[GigiMommy]

41. Hi Ralps!!!

Love the Rockin' Kitty!!! :yourock: :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[ralps]

42. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie! Hugs to you all! & Thanks!

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

[Patsy Stone]

34. Nancy looks lovely

and very chic. Purple is the new black, y'know.

I've always liked that particular strand of pearls.

[RevCheesehead]

51. As long as she avoids a purple hat, I'm OK with that.

The Red-Hatters of Algoma were a little more than crazy.

[RevCheesehead]

53. Oh!

She and Joe must have coordinated ahead of time! :)

[Patsy Stone]

35. Veep in da House!

:bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

38. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen

hasn't gotten her face in the camera yet? Wow. She's slipping.

[bleever]

55. She needs a pole.

So she can work it. Like she does.

[Patsy Stone]

56. :)

What I love about her, is she's that obvious no matter who's in power.

Loooooook at meeeeeeeeee!

[Patsy Stone]

49. 61% say Democrats are too partisan...

I must have missed the single-payer health care bill and the gay marriage amendment, huh?

[bleever]

54. Zeitgeist:

Willie's much less popular brother.

[Patsy Stone]

58. Booooooooooooo! Boo, Anthony Kennedy. Booooooooo!

The president didn't eat his pie? Uh oh...

[Berry Cool]

63. I will probably just sit and watch the SOTU and wait for Keith's chew-over later to post.

So if this thread gets too long and someone gets the notion to start a new one, go right ahead, kids. Just save me some cake. No, not the chocolate one. :scared:

[Patsy Stone]

64. I'm going over to the couch myself.

I'll be eating, and listening.

See you on the flip side.

[Botany]

60. Tweety talking ..... wipe the camera for spittle

I really hate that guy.

[Patsy Stone]

62. "I really dont't care about that sort of thing"

When KO asked about the pie. Oy, Chris; lighten the fuck up.

[Botany]

67. In Tweety's mind it is his world .... we just live in it.

n/t

[GigiMommy]

66. Ha Ha Ha...

:rofl: Hi Botany!!!:hi:

[bleever]

61. For a second I thought it was Monica Novotny next to Michelle.

[GigiMommy]

65. Patsy, Cassie LOVES your birthday candled fingers.

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

[Patsy Stone]

81. My friend Google helped me find it.

:)

[bleever]

68. Part of me wishes Obama would enter dressed like O'Keefe.

Okay, that's silly. Allow me to adjust my drinkage.

[SharonRB]

69. And i thought his birthday was tomorrow.

Happy birthday, Keith.

Is everyone staying here for the SOTU?

I've been trying to get stuff put away each night. I'm getting there.

[Patsy Stone]

70. Well, that was fun!

How'd y'all like it?

[Berry Cool]

72. Anyone still around?

Well, I would have liked to see more to help people without jobs, but it wasn't bad. The Republican response: laughable. They just added a claque so the guy would have to talk less because they'd keep interrupting him with applause.

Oh, and hi to Bot and Sha-Sha! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

77. What the hell was Chris going on about?

My lord he sounded like an idiot.

[RevCheesehead]

84. You sound surprised.

Why?

[Patsy Stone]

86. My bad.

For an hour, I forgot he was an idiot. :)

There was also a paiiiiinful Godfather analogy I couldn't dissect.

[RevCheesehead]

89. Here's something to keep you amused:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7589687

[Patsy Stone]

90. I heart DU

and you. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

92. Thanks, hon.

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

94. Here's another:

I opted for the O'Reilly factor.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7589444

[WolverineDG]

73. Good

Obama handed the Republicans & the SCOTUS 5 their asses on a platter. In public. On national TV. :evilgrin:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

79. And the spineless Dems, too.

:thumbsup:

[bleever]

74. I'm drinkr than I thought i would.

Actually, I was impressed, and I hope that I'm correct that it presages a new approach that boxes the GOP in while forging ahead.

[Patsy Stone]

78. Basically

he told them to shit or get off the pot.

I loved that he gave a swipe the panty waist dems out there, too. And the Boo Yaa to the SCOTUS was a moment I could watch over and over.

[bleever]

91. Triple treat.

That could be the title for your post defining your reaction, which I endorse.

I mean one of those moment-defining "Perfect Storm" posts.

It would be heard.

:thumbsup:

[Patsy Stone]

95. Thanks for the props,

but they're happy tonight. I play better when things look bleak. :)

[bleever]

96. LOL.

Okay then, but bank it so it's ready when it's needed.

:thumbsup:

[bleever]

75. And for fans of 30 Rock, my reaction to the GOP response is here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=433x156670

[Berry Cool]

76. LOL!

I dunno, both were pretty pathetic. I bet Jindal wishes, though, that he had his own cheering section like this. He could've talked less and at least the applause would make it sound like he wasn't talking out his ass.

[Patsy Stone]

82. It's now a moot point

but does anyone know who stayed behind in case the Apocalypse occurred during the SOTU?

[Berry Cool]

83. Hmm, good question.

Who's 25th in line to the presidency?

[Patsy Stone]

85. Hillary?

:)

[Berry Cool]

87. Someone in DU said it was Shaun Donovan, HUD secretary.

[Patsy Stone]

88. Thanks!

At least he got to watch SportsCenter.

[RevCheesehead]

93. and the Duke game!

:woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

97. Yeah, but Rev, by switching to the Duke game and missing the Republican response

you missed out on the opposition party's latest "Diaper Dandy"!

He was great, BAYBEEEEEE!!!!! :rofl:

(Yeah, I know, they don't really need another Diaper Dandy; they still have David Vitter. But anyway.)
