It's Joe Wilson Night at the KOEB 11/2/05

[RevCheesehead]

:bounce:

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

1. Hi, Rev!

It so is! :toast:

[Patsy Stone]

2. Another problem caused by the Clenis.

I need to make that thread again, huh?

[RevCheesehead]

12. Please do.

I know I'd have fun with it! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

3. How much do I love Jimmy Carter!

Go, tell it on the mountain, Jimmy. Tell everyone about the BFEE.

[gkhouston]

150. particularly stunning, since he has been *so* circumspect

in his remarks about subsequent administrations. You know he's really upset about this.

[RevCheesehead]

158. I ordered his new book from Amazon last night.

Also saw the rerun of his interview with Larry King. You're right - he really IS ticked off, and realizes it's up to him to speak out.

[Olney Blue]

4. Jimmy Carter rocks.

Hi everyone!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

14. He's one of my heroes.

Hi, Olney :hi:

[gkhouston]

151. mine, too.

I think the history books will judge him a lot better than the 'Murkin public did in 1980. I was pretty disgusted/dejected when Reagan won. All flash, no substance, and we're still paying for it.

[SharonRB]

Put on Larry King -- Carter is on

I couldn't get rid of Rita fast enough.

[SharonRB]

5. Hi, everyone!

I loved seeing the Big Dawg speak at Rosa Parks' funeral today.

[Patsy Stone]

7. Hubba, hubba, Bubba!

:loveya::loveya:, Bill!

[Olney Blue]

Hi SharonRB!

I missed the speech- I'm sure it was wonderful.

[SharonRB]

13. It was short and sweet

I cried when he finished.

And the judge who introduced him, Damon Keith, introduced him as the President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton. I loved it! He's still my president.

[RevCheesehead]

10. He was amazing, wasn't he?

The man commanded respect, even before he began speaking.

[SharonRB]

17. He certainly was.

[gkhouston]

152. I'm not surprised.

The respect you command is dictated by your actions, not your position. Something blivet** still has not learned.

[crispini]

6. Hi ladies! This is my last night here for awhile!

And what a night to catch! Joe :loveya: Wilson!

[Patsy Stone]

8. Say it ain't so!

Was it something we said? Too many :loveya:s? :)

[crispini]

29. Nah, going out of town.

You know you can never have too many :loveya:'s.

How you doing Patsela?!

[SharonRB]

31. Have a great time, wherever it is

We'll be right here when you get back.

[crispini]

60. I certainly will! Sort of.

I'm going to France with my mom, who's having heart surgery at a cardiac center there. Strange but true. But I think there will be time to see some sights and eat some yummy food!

[RevCheesehead]

66. Wow.

Please know my thoughts (and prayers) go with you and your mom. :hug:

[crispini]

82. Thank you.

we have high hopes. They are the best over there.

[SharonRB]

69. I hope her surgery is successful, Crispi

and that she's doing better soon.

[crispini]

86. Thanks.

I think it'll be fine.

[Patsy Stone]

76. Oh, wow.

:hug: I'll be thinking good thoughts for you both.

Enjoy Paris. Just being there, even in such difficult circumstances, will fortify your soul.

[crispini]

89. Bordeaux, actually.

Weird, eh? But it's the best place. She even managed to get the insurance to pay for it. She told them if they wouldn't pay for it, she'd go to the Mayo Clinic.

The clinic in France costs $15k. The Mayo costs $60k.

The more I learn about all this, the more I'm pro-socialized medicine. :D

[Patsy Stone]

99. Amen!

Well, at least there will be wine! And wonderful wine. That's an amazing story. US health care systems blow.

[crispini]

104. And the Mayo includes a one night stay.

The French clinic? One week.

[Patsy Stone]

111. Oy.

Totally wrong.

[WolverineDG]

144. hope all is well with your mom!

here's to a speedy recovery for her & some sightseeing & yummy food for you! :)


dg

[crispini]

145. Thanks, I'm sure she'll be fine.

It'll be good to get it over with.

[gkhouston]

153. Oh, Crispy.

All the best to you and your mom. Come back soon and safe.

[crispini]

156. Thanks. Hopefully we will do.

:hi:

[gkhouston]

157. bring back some French cuffs. n/t

[Patsy Stone]

36. Too true, doll!

:hi: I hope it's pleasure, not too much business.

Wilson is so zen about the whole thing, isn't he?

Oh, Howie's on... He's been on Tweety so much recently, I thought he was gone from Countdown.

[crispini]

62. Wilson rocks infinitely.

He is too cool.

[bleever]

45. Suggestion: don't put the cuffs in your carry-on.

Just sayin'.

:hi:

[bettyellen]

48. LOL

:hi:

[bleever]

52. Hi BE.

Nice to see you.

:)

[bettyellen]

56. same here, bleeve! did you know you're

my favorite KOEBer?
:loveya:

[bleever]

64. Uh oh, now Botany's spirit has possessed BE!

:rofl:



:hug:

[bettyellen]

88. yes, it's stolen material!

but i love using that line!
:)

[crispini]

63. Bwahahaha!

Yes, I can imagine that wouldn't look too good. :evilgrin:

[Olney Blue]

46. Crispi, have some fun!

[crispini]

65. Ha ha ha!

You are doing very well with the google image search! :D And pina colada! My fave! :cheers:

[Olney Blue]

77. Another one of the neat things I've learned on DU!

Thanks!

[bleever]

102. Mmmm...coconuts.

:7

[SharonRB]

9. Where ya goin'?

[crispini]

67. See above...

:D Working my way down the thread.

[bettyellen]

15. say whaaaaa?

oh no!
:loveya:

[SharonRB]

19. Hi, bettyellen

:hi:

Nice to see you tonight.

[bettyellen]

28. hi shar!

just enjoying joe wilson.
:loveya:

[SharonRB]

30. He's wonderful

I hate when they try to impugn his integrity and honesty. I think he's as honest as they come.

[Patsy Stone]

Hiya, betty!

How's it goin' on this lovely Joe Wilson evening? :loveya:

[crispini]

68. I'll be back!

I'm taking the 'puter and I'll check in from time to time. I'll say HI for sure! :hi:

[AntiFascist]

11. Yeah! Get Congress involved...

talking about the Italian documents!

[Patsy Stone]

16. Or any other reactionary parrot...

Rush and InShannity. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

18. I cracked up at that one, Pats.

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

20. Whoa -- couldn't he sue * or Cheney?

Didn't the Paula Jones case set a precedent?

[RevCheesehead]

23. That depends on who you know in the Supremes, I think. n/t

[SharonRB]

27. Hmmm...I thought Wilson was a Supreme

Florence Wilson :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

37. Motown Humor.

I get it. :)

[SharonRB]

43. Sorry, I couldn't resist

Stop! In the name of love......

[crispini]

73. SNORK!

Very good! :thumbsup:

[SharonRB]

148. I have to correct my post

I had a duh moment when I went upstairs last night. It's Mary Wilson. It's Florence Ballard. I combined them.

[Olney Blue]

24. I read somewhere that the Wilson's were considering

a lawsuit for what has been done to them.

[SharonRB]

25. I heard they were planning to sue, but I'm not sure who

[Olney Blue]

33. Yes, the news has been vague- I don't know who

they would sue- the U.S. government?

[RevCheesehead]

21. Apparently, it's Orange Tie night.

Appropriate for the anniversary of 11/2/04.

[SharonRB]

22. So I noticed, Rev

[Patsy Stone]

26. Between this

and the Halloween mask, we know they love us. :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

32. Joe Wilson

A scholar and a gentleman. I'd be interested to see who (or if) they choose to sue when this all shakes out.

Joe, I'm sorry they did this to your family and to all of us. :patriot:

[bleever]

34. Dang! Missed the first part of the Wilson interview. But I did get

to hear Keef call Limbaugh and Hannity "reactionary parrots".

:rofl:

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

38. I predict the video clip will be up in moments.

:hi:

[bleever]

47. With all the KO fans on DU now, it's a safe bet.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

35. Wish I could be a fly on the wall at that arraignment

[crispini]

74. Wouldn't that be excellent! nt

[SharonRB]

39. What? He wrote that?

Ewwwww...

[RevCheesehead]

40. OMG! Was that a Bay Air shoutout??

They put the bear in the cage, and when it lost interest, they poked and prodded it with sticks....

Sounds like Botany to me! :rofl:

[SharonRB]

44. You're right -- it does.

[crispini]

78. That was SO a shoutout to us.

But a little gross nevertheless. I mean, ick!

[SharonRB]

136. Hope posted a link to a clip of the reading on another thread

Still in the clubhouse.

[Patsy Stone]

41. LOL! KO's critique on "The Apprentice"

Who vetted these guys on their writing skills?

ed: cuz

[Gogi]

140. Why Lynn 'lesbian romance' Cheney of course!

Though I think her writing was merely abysmal.

[Patsy Stone]

142. What is with these people?

LOL. They're all so repressed. :)

[Gogi]

143. Honey, you don't understand...

it's okay if THEY do it. It's like drinking a diet coke wipes out all the calories in that tub of candy corn you just ate! Sin all week, go to church on Sunday, everything's a-okay!:eyes:

KO:hi:

[crispini]

146. SNORK! Ain't that the truth! :D nt

[gkhouston]

154. I could care less what consenting adults do

but kids and animals? That's wrong on so many levels. I can't imagine even wanting to read that shit, much less write it. You know this guy is one sick fucker if he spent as much time as it takes to write a book writing this sort of swill -- although come to think of it, from the excerpt that Keith quoted, I wouldn't say that much effort had been expended. Maybe the author had half of his mind (or half of his hands) somewhere else...

[spooky3]

42. Great show tonight, Keefy!

[bleever]

49. Shoulda been here last night, spooky.

We're still cleaning the walls and ceilings of the clubhouse off after last night's blowout.

:hi:

[spooky3]

51. damn, had to work late last night! Can you do it again?

[Olney Blue]

53. I agree!

Great show, Keith.

:loveya:

[bleever]

55. We're gonna need to invest in a steam cleaner if they

keep giving us reasons to celebrate like that!

[Patsy Stone]

57. The doors were open all day here

and it still smells like stale beer. :)

[bleever]

70. More Airwick!

Stir the potpourri!


:)

[Patsy Stone]

83. You got a Wet/Dry Vac?

Look it's Bill... He still my president. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

92. Mine, too, Pats

[Patsy Stone]

106. I get all weepy when I see him. n/t

[SharonRB]

110. As did I when he finished speaking.

[SharonRB]

50. Criminals, politicians, and criminal politicians

:rofl: He's really on tonight.

:loveya:

[SharonRB]

54. According to another thread, there's a protest going on outside

the WH now.

[Olney Blue]

59. Yes, its on LBN- protests while state dinner in progress

with Charles/Camilla. One post said that Charles and Shrub are sitting at separate tables....

[crispini]

80. Wow, really?

Bad ass!

Let's keep it up! Wish there was another one soon.

[RevCheesehead]

58. Hey Cheney -

If you like torture so much, how about we allow only certain kinds of torture - provided they're tried out on you first.

[Patsy Stone]

61. I wonder if he prefers the torture takes place in the tropics?

They don't have it so bad at Gitmo, because, after all, they are in the tropics.

[RevCheesehead]

72. And they get their drinks with little umbrellas in it.

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts."

[Patsy Stone]

113. There's a coconuts theme tonight.

Oh, yes! We have no bananas.

[Olney Blue]

71. Recommended Cheney torture:

lock him up in a cell with Rita Cosby and let her interview him for 24 hours.

[spooky3]

75. LOL!!!!

[SharonRB]

79. That's cruel and inhumane

but would be okay for him.

:rofl:

[bleever]

85. If he needs maximum flexibility to fight the war on terror,

maybe we should put him on the rack.

[crispini]

109. Ha ha ha!

We were just talking about the rack last night. :D

[Botany]

123. Where did you get the picture of Crispini's guest bedroom?

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

124. That's her Rec-Room.

Silly Bot-Bot.

[Botany]

127. Fresh Gull Bay for ya

other thread ......

canoe trips and visions


:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

125. And look who's here!

So many shout outs, so little time.

:hi:

[Botany]

130. Did KO do some Bay Air stories?

He so reads this ......

Hi KO :hi: Remember the election was stolen.

[Patsy Stone]

131. Thus the orange tie he wore.

He knows. Yep. The paragraph from Libby's trashy novel was about a bear. Rev posted the best part above. :)

[RevCheesehead]

132. Hey Botany -

You've been heavily featured in both last night's and tonight's threads. You might want to scan thru them yourself, to see what you've been up to lately.

:rofl:

[Botany]

134. I don't trust EDVs

"heavily featured" =


:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

137. Well, you're kind of the Clubhouse Boy-Toy.

Deal with it. :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

81. Yes!

He's showing part of the Big Dawg's speech.

I couldn't believe the funeral was still on when I got home from work.

[crispini]

84. Wow, this looks like a kickass funeral.

It's making me want to start attending a black church! :D

[Patsy Stone]

87. It's just what I want mine to look like.

:)

[crispini]

91. Those kids were soooooo cute!

yeah, it'd be great to have a funeral like that eh?

[Patsy Stone]

107. Jesse, Bill, Aretha.

I'm good right there. And then there's the choir! :)

[bettyellen]

96. i'll speechify in six languages if you want...

and if i have any marbles left at that point.

[Patsy Stone]

121. Speechify on, sistah girl!

Even if you have not a marble left. :)

[SharonRB]

108. It literally lasted all day

It started at 11 this morning and was still going at 6 p.m. I think it ended shortly after that. I wish I could have gone. People lined up overnight to get in. The church holds 3,000 people. Kerry was there, too. When I got back from my walk with my neighbor, they were replaying his speech. The two real presidents spoke today and were wonderful. Kerry talked about elections as they relate to voter disenfranchisement.

[SharonRB]

90. Those kids were so adorable.

[crispini]

93. What? Aaron Brown is out?

Wow!

But double the Anderson Cooper, double the fun. I do like him, especially after his Katrina coverage.

[SharonRB]

98. I read this on DU earlier today

Bummer -- I liked Aaron Brown. He always struck me as being honest and that he had integrity.

[Patsy Stone]

94. Aaron's out/Anderson's in!

Wow. CNN.

[RevCheesehead]

126. I suspected they were planning that when they started co-broadcasts.

I thought, "I sure hope Aaron has a hefty savings account."

[Patsy Stone]

141. I didn't see it coming at all

Poor Aaron. I liked him.

[Olney Blue]

95. Did Keith just diss Aaron Brown?

[crispini]

97. WHAT? A suitcase of porn?

Jeez, I wonder what the TSA thinks about that. :rofl:

[spooky3]

105. they told me no problem except for the "toys"!

[crispini]

147. Hee hee hee! Yes, especially the metallic ones.

How did I miss this post last night? :hi: spooky3!

:evilgrin: I hate it when you open your suitcase and they have that little TSA lock on it. You just KNOW they've been in there because they just wanna dig around in your stuff! :rofl:

[spooky3]

149. ha ha! Be sure to leave some really smelly clothes in there

for them next time. :hi: crispini!

[crispini]

100. Worst person on the world -- RUMMY!

Ah, more cronyism. Of course.

[SharonRB]

101. Rummy!

Worst person in the world.

[Patsy Stone]

103. KO, Rummy is among the standing Worst People in the World!

The whole gang is grandfathered in. Look outside the * Administration. That's waaay too easy.

[crispini]

112. Michael Musto....

Bring out the snark. :D

[Patsy Stone]

114. LOL! "I believe it!"

Michael Musto! :loveya:

KO: "No, you don't! You just said you didn't!"

:rofl:

[bleever]

115. Jimmy Carter on Larry King now.

Go, Jimmy.

Get political.

[SharonRB]

117. I've got it on.

[Olney Blue]

118. I'm gonna watch....

[Patsy Stone]

116. Rita and Tito

I just like typing those two names together...

Oprah? Uma.
Uma? Oprah.

[RevCheesehead]

119. Jimmy Carter's on Larry King now.

Dissin' the fundymentalists. :thumbsup:

[crispini]

120. Hey, everybody, I heard from greenmutha!

I dropped her a PM and she wrote me back and said she was fine, she just has been really busy with her business during the summer, which is her busy time. She sent me a link which I don't think she'd mind if I shared with ya'll.

http://www.botanicalstuff.com

Looks very cool! So anyway, it is good to know that all is well! :D

[RevCheesehead]

122. That's great!

:hi: Hi, Greenmutha! We miss you!

[Patsy Stone]

128. Cool!

Good to hear she's alright. :loveya: greenmutha.

[gkhouston]

155. thanks for checking, Crispy. Good news! n/t

[SharonRB]

129. OMG, you guys

I just went back to last night's thread. I had no idea you did so much after I went up to watch TV. It was almost 300 posts! All the fun really began after I left, I see.

BTW, I PMd Sparky last week or the week before to see where he's been, but I haven't heard back from him. That's kind of strange. He probably hasn't been on DU for a while then.

[RevCheesehead]

133. There was definately SNARK in the air.

'Twas a good night, indeed. :toast:

[SharonRB]

135. I need to stay up later or stop watching TV

But CinC and Boston Legal were great last night. Many, many underlying digs on * & Co.

[RevCheesehead]

138. Nah - you enjoyed yourself, right?

Besides, the threads aren't going anywhere. You can always catch up later!

[SharonRB]

139. I did -- both shows were exceptionally good last night.

I had no idea you guys kept going so long last night until I went to see how many posts there were. When I saw it was almost 300, I knew it went way past when I got off.
