KOEB 2/2/06 The "SOTU" Address "I didn't mean it" program

[ralps]

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

[Olney Blue]

1. Hi Ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

Hi Olney Blue

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

[Patsy Stone]

2. Hey, ralps.

Hi, everyone. I'm cooking, so I'll be in and out.

Yes, while they're at vetting the SOTU speech, isn't it Myanmar and not Burma?



A picture... :loveya:


ed: pic.

[Greylyn58]

4. Is that Keith?

How Cute!!!!

[ralps]

5. Hi Patsy, cool photo

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

[Patsy Stone]

12. Thanks. Thanks to -q- for the picture.

Apparently it was taken in Albany.

[bleever]

9. It will always be Burma to me.

:hi:


ed: d'oh

[ralps]

13. Hi bleever

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

[bleever]

19. Hi, ralps. Ol' Keef is really filleting the chimperor's credibility.

How sweet it is.

[Berry Cool]

77. Hi all.

:hi: Berry really sat back and enjoyed tonight and came by After the Show.

[Patsy Stone]

14. The Urban Sombrero.

:hi:

[bleever]

21. I coulda used one of those the last couple days.

It was waterproof, wasn't it?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

41. You know, I don't remember if it was or not.

Did you need to take a siesta?

[Olney Blue]

11. What time should I come over for dinner, Patsy?!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

15. Pretty soon, actually

I think most of it is ready. I'm off to check a few things.

[Olney Blue]

26. A little hostess gift for you.....

[Patsy Stone]

29. Lovely! Thanks!

Come by anytime. :)

[bunny planet]

67. Where did you get that one. He looks 16!!!!

[Berry Cool]

78. I think he WAS 16.

It's on Olbermann.org, has been for a long time. Originally ran in the "Big Show" book, like the baby pic.

[Greylyn58]

3. Evening All

Hope everyone is well!! Should be a great Countdown tonight. :loveya: KO :yourock:

:hi: ralps and my fellow KOEBers!!

[ralps]

6. Hi Greylyn58

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

[Patsy Stone]

7. Starting out by calling them on the BS

Both the "oops, I didn't really mean to say that, Bandar." and the supposition that these guys could find anything and connect it to something. As I said in another thread, he couldn't find water if he fell out of a damn boat.

And the other Downing Street Memo!!! :loveya::loveya:, KO!

[Berry Cool]

79. Keith was GREAT tonight.

Rippin' on * and snarking him up but good!

[Patsy Stone]

102. A banner night for integrity in journalism

Until Rita. Then it went back to it's regularly scheduled BS.

[Berry Cool]

105. Agh, you reminded me, tomorrow night it's "Hardball Hotshots."

Someone remind me not to turn Tweety on until the second before Keith is due to appear and save me. My blood pressure will be much better for it.

[gkhouston]

123. he did everything except ask Roger Cressey why

he doesn't work for the governnment anymore. ;-)

[Olney Blue]

8. Hi Greylyn and Sheridan!

:hi:

Bush and Blair- oh Tony, why didn't you stop him?

[ralps]

10. Senate hopefully calling The B* administration on their Bulls*tt

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

[Patsy Stone]

16. Craig Crawford

I don't think we're "loathe" to call * a liar. At least I'm not.

But, you did say he lied. For that :loveya:

[WolverineDG]

40. Dear Craig

I'm not loathe to call shrubbie a liar & I've been wearing a pin to prove it for the past year & a half!

:hi: pats!

dg

[ralps]

49. Hi WolverineDG

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

[WolverineDG]

72. hey ralps!

:hi:

dg

[Berry Cool]

80. You guys aren't loath to call him a liar, but you're not in Congress

and that is the sad part of the story...

[WolverineDG]

82. not yet

(cue evil laughing) :evilgrin:

dg

[Olney Blue]

17. Keith and Craig again puzzling over the lack of Dem's condemnation.

Bush needs to get on a couch with Oprah for a flogging!!!!!

[Berry Cool]

81. I can't help but think Keith was a little freaked by that mental picture.

* cowering before Oprah wearing dominatrix leather, with a whip...

"You've been a BAD little president. You LIED to my viewers. NOW you will pay...just like I made James Frey pay..."

[Olney Blue]

99. And then Kindasleazy walks in with her spiked heel boots and leather

waving her whip and then she and Oprah go at it, while the Chimp shivers in the corner.

[CBHagman]

109. Aside from Keith's excerpt from The Mikado, that was...

...the highlight of the night. If we can't exile Bush to Elba, at least get his ass over to Oprah's set.

[Berry Cool]

113. Here's a little illustration going around DU that seems apropos.

Love it...

And thanks for ID'ing The Mikado. I had a feeling Keith was singing Gilbert & Sullivan tonight. Damn, I love it when he sings!

[Botany]

18. Hi everybody .... don't mean to be harsh but

this is it. When the hell are they going to impeach and send to trial
that lying little fuck?

We lost 6 more in Iraq today and cut $40 billion from the federal budget
for education, seniors, health care, and the school lunch program to pay
for this lunatic's insane action. He is on record in 1998 as Governor of Texas
saying, "that when I am president, my war with Iraq will be ......."

I am sooooo mad i can't even see straight.

[ralps]

23. Hi Botany, Hopefully in the next couple of years, although I don;t know

if our country could stand it any longer. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Botany]

25. but in ohio HB 3

Taft signs voter ID, other election changes into law

But it only talks about bringing an ID with you to the polls.

It mentions NOTHING about the other Soviet-style provisions:


HB3 will also delete the ability of the public to conduct meaningful audits of voting machines. Election protection activists recently forced the adoption of an auditable paper trail into the Ohio election process. In a state where virtually all ballots are cast and/or counted on electronic equipment, this cuts to the core of the ability to monitor an election's outcome. The new provision in HB3 will make the paper trail virtually meaningless.
HB3 further imposes a huge jump in the cost of forcing a recount. In 2004, the charge was $10 per precinct, with some 11,366 precincts in the state. Thus the Green and Libertarian Parties, which paid for it, had to pay somewhat more than $113,660. Now the charge will be $50 per precinct, jumping the charge to some $568,300.
Finally, and perhaps most astonishingly, HB3 eliminates the state statutes that allowed citizens to challenge the outcome of federal elections within the state. After the 2004 election, election protection advocates filed a challenge to Bush's victory. They were attacked with an official attempt to levy sanctions, and then were thwarted from an effective suit when GOP Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell locked up the state's voter records.

But HB3 would now entirely eliminate any possibility of a state-based legal challenge. The only alleged recourse for those wishing to officially question the vote count in a presidential, senatorial or US Congressional race in Ohio would have to go to the United States Congress. There will be no recourse whatsoever on the state level.

[ralps]

33. Frell!!!!!!!!!!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :mad: :mad: :grr: :grr: :rant:

[Olney Blue]

36. This makes me so furious, I don't know what to do!!!!!!!

:argh:

[Botany]

44. Coming soon to state near you.

this is not just for Ohio .....

I have e mailed Cliff Arnebeck (recount lawyer) about this new law .... totally unconstitutional
but .... look @ what is happening to our courts.

BTW you are still my Fav EDV ..... don't tell the others

[Berry Cool]

84. Well, there you go. I now officially live in a police state.

No purple finger for me. Well, actually I would like to GIVE Taft my big, purple finger. And Blackwell too.

[Berry Cool]

83. I only wish I could say.

I mean, I wonder what the guy has to DO to finally fall.

"Will someone PLEASE give this guy a blow job so we can impeach him?" indeed...

[bleever]

24. It won't happen soon enough; that much we know.

But I will say this: If *'s fortunes fall as much this year as they did last, we'll have a new president by then.

Of course, I won't be happy til he and Cheney and Rove and Libby are in jail.

[Botany]

32. They need jail at the minium.

100,000 + people are dead for their war crimes.

######################### edited out what i think should happen to them

Sorry just the shots of * lying his ass off @ the state of the union has me hot.
Shifty eyes and all ..... terrorist surveillance .... sure thing. Guaranteed he
was spying on Kerry.

[Olney Blue]

42. The chimperor is spying on everyone, no doubt.

Especially his "opponent"- he kept calling Kerry that during the debates.

[ralps]

20. LOL "Vote Early & Vote Often" more ballots cast than were people in the

room. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

85. "Vote Early and Vote Often"...I laughed. Said to myself "Why doesn't it

surprise me that this is how a guy from Ohio got elected to the post?"

[Greylyn58]

22. WHY DON'T THE DEMS CALL THE SHRUB

A LIAR???? ISN'T THAT WHAT HE IS?????????

Sorry...I'm screaming because I want to know the answer to that one myself. This is just so maddening!!! We've caught this jack-ass-in-resident in so many it just doesn't make sense.

AAAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!

[Botany]

39. When isn't he lying?

Remember 7 years and 70 million $s to look into a b.j.?

BTW if he knew that al Qaeda was calling people in the US how come we
haven't got them yet? What a bunch of crap.



sorry I forgot to take care of the KOEB's dog #1.

[Greylyn58]

52. Sheridan thanks you

He is a true Milk Bone junkie. I blame myself. I'm an enabler!

Mmmmmmm....Milk Bones! :evilgrin:

And I would be remiss if I didn't give our fave lover of Bay Airs a picture.

[Berry Cool]

86. When isn't he lying? Two frequent occasions, actually.

1. when he's eating

2. when he's asleep

[Botany]

27. KO thank God

he covers the real news.

now this crap in Iraq ..... running hookers on the US dime?

[ralps]

28. Iraqi corruption scheme!!!! Yay!!! one more nail in B*sh's coffin

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

[SharonRB]

30. If it's Thursday...

I must be late.

Hubby was fixing something on the computer and I'm watching W&G.

[ralps]

34. Hi SharonRB

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

[Olney Blue]

38. Hi Sharon- its nice to see you!

[SharonRB]

45. Hi, Ralps and Olney

and everyone else.

[Patsy Stone]

48. Hiya, Shar.

Nice to see you. How's things?

[bleever]

31. The Time Machine

Man, those Morlocks scared the heck out of me when I was a kid.

[RevCheesehead]

94. Ooooh! Now I'm curious!

I loved that movie. (BTW, the remake sucked) :hi:

[bleever]

106. He was doing the "coming up on Oddball" clip, showed some guys

dancing around in wild costumes, and said, "Didn't I see you guys in the movie The Time Machine?" and I instantly saw what he was talking about: they looked like Morlocks (from the original, of course).

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

35. The Festival of Corruption and Mismanagement

which makes up our political news... Oh, KO! :loveya:

[ralps]

37. Ground Frog Day???????

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

[WolverineDG]

43. I've been to Snohomish!

It's very pretty! :) I didn't see a "Groundfrog" though.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

47. Me too!

It is pretty. :hi: , DG!

[Berry Cool]

87. Well, here in Ohio we have Buckeye Chuck.

He came out of his burrow this morning, saw another corrupt Ohioan being placed in a position of power, and went screaming back into his hole, never to emerge again.

[RevCheesehead]

96. * snort *

:rofl: Berry, you slay me!

[Berry Cool]

107. You're welcome.

I aim to please.

[Patsy Stone]

100. LOL!

You know what that means, don't you? Yep. Six more weeks of Fascism. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

108. If it was only six weeks, I could deal with it.

But this is Ohio. "Six more years" is more like it.

[Berry Cool]

101. Actually, I too have been to Snohomish.

It was March and already the flowers were blooming for spring. Sad to know I'd have to go back East and put up with a month more of winter before I saw anything like that again!

[ralps]

46. Yah Right Frist. To me it sounded like you made a statement not a

question. I'm glad Keith showed that clip. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

88. "And I just want to give my expert opinion as a physician..."

"...that at the time I cut those cats open to look at their organs, they were ALIVE...They responded...They were still one of us."

[Gogi]

110. Any doctor worthy of his degree...

would have refrained before delivering any opinion. Even though he's a doctor, he did'nt actually examine her, so his diagnosis of her medical condition is nothing but an opinion and no more valid than your's or mine. You'll notice that the other doctor in Congress (I forget his name) rendered no opinion about Schiavo. Frist should've had his license to practice medicine revoked.

[Olney Blue]

50. Michael Schiavo is going to help defeat the hypocrits.

[Berry Cool]

89. I sure hope he does.

It's so ironic that Repugs supposedly want the government to get out of your life...except when it comes to your bedroom or hospital room. THEN, the government absolutely MUST interfere with your decisions.

[Olney Blue]

93. When will the true conservatives throw Shrub out on his ass?

:shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

51. VIDEO -- Craig Crawford

Thanks, liveoaktx!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x308955

[seito]

53. "Up until last year, he was a Republican"

Not just Michael Schiavo...I believe this is true of millions. The ** legacy will be Republican loss of control for decades.

It wont be close enough to steal. JMHO

:hi: KOEB faithful

I Believe

[ralps]

55. Hi seito

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

[seito]

58. Hi ralps!

:hi:

[bleever]

64. "Dear Lord, please hear the wise words of seito, and know that she

expresses the heartfelt feelings of so many people.

Amen."


:hi: seito!

[seito]

71. HI bleever

May all of your prayers be answered.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

54. Just saw bettyellen on another KO thread

She said to say hi to everyone.

[Botany]

56. KO & Michael S.

Class meets Class

I have put a local called Mary Jo Kilroy who is running against Tom DeLay's #1
friend in the House (Deb Pryce) onto Terripac.com Pryce was one the repugs that
flew in to pass that awful "Terri's Law."

[Berry Cool]

90. This will sound shallow, but I liked seeing Keith without all the makeup.

He looked a little older maybe, but much less orange and pancakey in the Schiavo interview.

[bunny planet]

57. Hola ladies and gents.

I've finally been able to watch tonight after not being around most of the week. Great show tonight.
KO is really sticking it to Mr. Bush. Ok, on second thought, that was a very bad visual.

Catch you in minute, the show's back on.

[ralps]

60. Hi bunny planet

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

[SharonRB]

63. Hi, Bunny!

:hi:

[bunny planet]

73. Hi Sharon!!!

:hi:

Been 'working hard' all week, good to be here.

[Olney Blue]

103. Hi bunny!

[ralps]

59. Randy Miller the talk of the DC subways

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

[Berry Cool]

91. Ah, we now know Keith gets ticked by women who critique his appearance.

OK, Keith. Uncle. You got me. You can wear this suit ALL you want. The gray one everyone hates, too. You go right ahead. And that stuff I said about how your stripes and grid-patterned shirts just didn't go? Forget it. It's all good. :loveya:

Feel better now? I hope so. Because really, if it's going to get you all that hot under the collar, well, forget it. We love us some Keith, and that's all that matters, OK? O8)

[gkhouston]

124. I can't believe that many people turned out to audition for that

I expect it will be an improvement, though. The old one sounded like a robot running on hearing-aid batteries who really didn't give a crap whether the next station was Foggy Bottom or not.

[ralps]

61. LOL Paris Hilton keeps losing stuff

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

[Berry Cool]

92. Yeah, Paris does lose a lot of stuff

Started with her virginity, went downhill from there.

[bunny planet]

62. Oh geez, it wouldn't be the NYC subway if the loudspeaker announcement

was intelligible. We are famous for the garbled announcement that noone pays attention to and noone understands. Why fix what's not broken ey?

[Berry Cool]

95. Nobody can hear any announcements on any subway, really.

Which makes it all the more remarkable that Keith could even IMAGINE the voice of his ex-date sounding as if she was saying "Arhmfbvcc cffuch recjptjh ertghhrff...Fix your collar."

[ralps]

65. O'lielly #3 wpitw; Jerri McKay #2, Cooking Meth while driving,

Julie K Russo #1, caught forging a mispelled check. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Gogi]

114. Several people in Missouri have been caught cooking meth while...

speeding down the highway but I don't recall any of them trying to simultaneously cook meth AND drive! 'Come to Missouri, Meth Capitol of the World' ought to be our state tourism slogan.


Ralps, I just noticed that the kitty taking a drink is moving his front paw up and down. My kitty does a little dance with his front paws just like that right before he takes a drink.


KO :loveya: (Note to self: does not take feminine criticism well.)

[bunny planet]

Dang I missed it, didn't have the laptop upstairs by the teevee

What was Ted Baxter O'Leilly worst person in the world for tonight?

Ever get the impression KO is really trying to just push the Bighead right over the edge. I can just hear Shrill's blood vessels popping from here. I just love it.

[bunny planet]

66. Dang I missed it, didn't have the laptop upstairs by the teevee

What was Ted Baxter O'Leilly worst person in the world for tonight?

Ever get the impression KO is really trying to just push the Bighead right over the edge. I can just hear Shrill's blood vessels popping from here. I just love it.

[ralps]

68. I thinkk it had something to do with CNN

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

[Berry Cool]

97. Christiane Amanpour said something about the war that wasn't positive

enough for the BGH...he thought she sounded like she was HOPING for it to fail. So he said. Something like that.

Keith brought up the point again that Billy was just praising CNN the other day so he could trash NBC by comparison. Oh well, so much for that!

[bunny planet]

69. Hey, I'm a planet too.

Aren't they going to mention me?

Hey, HEY!!!!

[Botany]

75. been done before.

[Berry Cool]

98. Bun-Bun, dear...

...you're not a REAL planet.

The Earth revolves around YOU!! :-)

[bunny planet]

111. you got that right chica!

enough about me, let's talk about you.
What do you think of me?

[SharonRB]

70. Moon Keith

Keith Moon

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

76. I was going to say...

instead of this...



we get this:



We thought it was the Earth he was spinning on his fingertip, but it wasn't. It was Moon Keith.

[Botany]

74. Damn

Mary's violet eyes makes John stay up nights pouting .... is out? (the planets)



So Pluto now is better real estate? E.Z.er commute to earth. :rofl:

Keith Moon????????

[Berry Cool]

104. Bot, I think somebody owes somebody a Coke.

Great minds obviously think alike.

We are on the same wavelength, my wondrous Ohio man. Come wif me to zee Casbah. Or at least call me your favorite EDV.

I promise not to tell the others.

[Gogi]

112. A 450 pound black Bay Air killed a man at this ex-petting zoo in ...

Illinois today. They had to kill the Bay Air to get it off the man. The lady had two Bay Airs she raised and she asked the deputy to kill the other one, too. The poor animals always lose, don't they. Leave the Bay Airs in the wild!

[Botany]

115. That is extremely rare

Black Bear attacks on human almost never happen. But if you
put them in an unnatural setting then things have a way to go bad.

Not unless the animal was sick .... the man had to have done something.

http://www.bear.org/SlideShows/HowDangerous/Slide_01.html

great study on Bay Airs

[gkhouston]

126. "unnatural setting"

Ugh. Just had a flashback to that horrid paragraph of Libby's book... :puke:

[Gogi]

131. It got out into the outer enclosure and he was...

apparently using meat to try and tempt it back into the inner enclosure.

[gkhouston]

125. I'm curious. Did it become an EX-petting zoo

when the bear's weight exceeded 50 pounds or something? :shrug:

[Gogi]

130. I think the woman retired...

and had changed it to an animal refuge.

[gkhouston]

132. um, Gogi?

that kind of makes it sound like the woman is what was being petted... :blush:

[Gogi]

133. I make unintentional goofs like this all the time.

One of the reasons people find it entertaining to talk to me!

[gkhouston]

134. I assumed it was unintentional

since it was you. If it had been Cheese... not so much. ;-)

[Gogi]

135. Cheese is Cheese...

what else is there to say?

[gkhouston]

136. is this kind of like an update version of the old

Rodgers and Hammerstein song:

What's the use of wonderin' if he's good or if he's bad
Or if you like the way he wears his hat?

[Gogi]

137. Not familiar with that song.

It fits though!

[crispini]

116. Here for the rerun -- is this a new suit?

I don't recall seeing a brown quite this light before. This isn't the GSB suit, is it? That one is darker -- or I am imagining things?

I love this tie. It's scrumptious. It almost looks edible.

[RevCheesehead]

118. I think that IS the GSB suit.

Is that a pink or lavendar shirt? And you're right - that tie is delish! :loveya:

[crispini]

119. I think it's lavender.

No, now I think it's pink. And if he's going to wear this shirt and tie with this suit, I will like it WAY MORE!

Howdy Rev! :hi: How are you doing? I'm awfully glad to be in my own bed. Even if it's not as swanky as the one in the hotel.

[RevCheesehead]

120. Even my lumpy mattress is better than any ol' hotel.

Of course, it comes complete with two cats, too. :)

I'm doing great, Crispi. How about you?

LOL - I saw the "sudden death tie-off".

[crispini]

121. Yep, I also have a two cat bed.

They're both hangin out with me now. Life is good. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

122. That's the candy tie.

And yes, it's the GSB suit, but it looks much better with this tie. Besides which, I'm not going to call it the GSB suit. I'd rather stay on the good side of a guy who doesn't like being told to fix his collar.

Oh, and Keith? I'll never yell at you to sit on the back of your jacket again either. :rofl:

[gkhouston]

127. we have definitely seen this suit on at least one previous occasion

IMO, it is not the GSB suit but is new. The GSB suit is darker. I always think of the GSB suit as something that had an unfortunate collision with an eggplant on its way to becoming a rich, attractive shade of chocolate.

[crispini]

128. Thank you! I thought it was NOT the GSB suit as well.

Bless the man, it's adorable.

[gkhouston]

129. it's a much nicer suit.

And although I'm not crazy about the candy stripe tie, it does match. :thumbsup:

[crispini]

117. Get OUT, Craig Crawford used the word "truthiness"

:loveya:
