KOEB 8/10/06 "Liquids on a Plane!--Terra! Terra! Terra!" Edition

[Berry Cool]

"Hello?!? Any terrorists here? Heeere, kitty kitty kitty..."



"Oh well, I guess it's safe to do the show."

Join Keith as he explains how President Bush, Mike Chertoff and the gang are protecting you from the terrible dangers posed by those travel-size containers of toothpaste, shampoo, shaving cream, conditioner, lotions, creams, and the evil that is Purell.

[Patsy Stone]

1. Reeter's doing a special on it too!

Oh, goody.

[Berry Cool]

2. Reeter is more dangerous than liquids on a plane.

Patsela!

[Berry Cool]

3. Oh, and it's another 30 Rock night.

I bet the Lincoln Tunnel is a mess today.

I expect we won't see Keith tomorrow night. He'd better start out early on his LA trip if he wants to recover from the misery in time for Saturday night. *sigh*

[SharonRB]

4. Rita on a plane, Rita on a plane!

I'll be skipping that one.

[Berry Cool]

5. Hi, Shar. If you think that's bad, consider something even Tucker Carlson

said might be more scary than a terrorist: Nancy Grace with her hands on a shotgun!

Apparently she had one on her show last night and waved it around a lot.

I still don't like Tucker but he's amusing when he takes potshots at Nancy, Bill-O and the like.

[Patsy Stone]

8. Is there a young, blonde girl involved?

, Shar!

[bleever]

6. Did they lose the good mic at 30 Rock?

Sounds like Keef's on a cheap phone.

[Patsy Stone]

11. They're using the back-up camera too

I don't know where Roger is, but it's a much better picture on his side of the screen.

[Gogi]

7. Politicized terra!

I am sick, sick, sick of this politicized terra: Al Quaida's economic terra, Bush(Rove)'s political strategy terra, Gonzalez' unconstitutional terra, Chertoff's cover your ass terra and Congress' "Oh lookie, a pot of money!" terra. Air travel may never be the same (if the pols can help it)!

[Patsy Stone]

10. While the Dems are in such a "shambles"

During our "civil war" they can show that they are STRONGER than we are.

I don't think anyone's buying.

, Gogi!

[Gogi]

14. Just makes everyone think of all the money...

that's been misallocated and just plain wasted since 9/11. They act like we caught them! I haven't seen Blair on my tv claiming victory.

[Patsy Stone]

9. Soon, we will all have to fly in the nude.

[RevCheesehead]

12. I understand Crispi's in NYC.

I'm sure she wouldn't mind that.

[WolverineDG]

15. Especially if she's on the right plane

IYKWIM

everyone!

I can understand why the admin couldn't tip Scotland Yard's hand in this, but I find it incredibly hard to believe that their knowledge of the plot had absolutely NOTHING to do with all the damn "Vote Dem & you die" spin we got yesterday.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

18. Is she diverting to LA?

I wouldn't put it past her!

You realize, don't you, that this is all Ned Lamont's fault?

[WolverineDG]

82. mebbe someone has a stop at DFW

dg

[Patsy Stone]

I think it was a Tony freebie

I think he owed him one. I can't imagine for what, but I can't really believe we had anything to do with this at all.

[RevCheesehead]

13. Oh, how I love and appreciate Keith's cynicism.

At least he isn't going to willingly swallow anything that remotely looks like Kool-Aid.

Howdy, all!

Keith: just for being you!

[WolverineDG]

17. Jumping on the "Me Too" Train

for voicing what's been running through my mind all freakin' day.

dg

[bleever]

16. KO checking updates on the Time report about how U.S. pushed

for the raids based on "chatter".

Apply smell test, please.

[RevCheesehead]

19. like scratch n' sniff?

[Berry Cool]

22. Reminds me of whoever said the threat level has been raised to Brown.

As in, "this is sh--..."


I bet Keith is seriously regretting he ever said he'd fly out to do this award thing!

Hey, is anyone buying stock in drugstores? They're gonna do a land-office business!

[Olney Blue]

56. Now that we can't take perfume on planes, women

will now have to wear scratch n sniff patches on their wrists.

[Patsy Stone]

20. Yes

MIA looks great with the automatic-weapons-toting cops. Not.

[Patsy Stone]

21. James May

will be played by Jonathan Winters in the movie.

[Berry Cool]

26. KO: "Should I leave now and let you finish this newscast?"

That's our Keith!

Keith.

Poor guy. He better have brought his suitcase to the studio tonight. I figure if he starts camping out at the airport right after the show he should just about make it.

[Gogi]

29. Where's he going?

And what's he gonna do when he gets there?

[Patsy Stone]

94. Here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

For Stan:

[Patsy Stone]

31. Jinx!

That's a good bet, too.

[RevCheesehead]

23. "Excuse me, Ma'am, but you'll have to sip that breast milk for me."

Oh my god.

[Berry Cool]

33. It's been done before.

Women have been forced to drink their own pumped milk to prove it's not something eevul.

[RevCheesehead]

35. While at the same time, finding breastfeeding in public disgusting.

We are a conundrum, aren't we?

[Patsy Stone]

24. "Tom, should I leave now and let you finish this newscast?"

"That's exactly what I would suggest." LOL!

[RevCheesehead]

25. "Could it really be just coincidence?"

Keith, I

[WolverineDG]

81. No such thing as a coincidence

While I think they had to sit on the info a few days, I don't put it past them to use the information in all the spinning they did yesterday. Assholes.

dg

[Gogi]

27. All liquids going, going, gone...at least until next month when...

everything will go back to normal. All we do is react, we're not doing anything proactive (there, I used the dreaded word 'proactive'!).


Where you going?

[Berry Cool]

36. Even Tucker pointed that out today.

This whole system is reactive, responding to what has already happened or almost-happened, rather than what might happen. And the rules it comes up with are for show.

And how come cargo still isn't being screened?

[bleever]

28. How the hell was "chatter" intercepted by the U.S.?

Suspects in UK and Pakistan, surveilled by Scotland Yard working with Pakistani intelligence...

Where do known US capabilities figure in here?

?

[Patsy Stone]

30. Tony gave him one on account.

That's all I've got.

[RevCheesehead]

32. They were the broadcasters?

"All your lotions are belong to us."

[bleever]

34. LOL.

They hate us for our Pert Plus.

[RevCheesehead]

37. Can you blame them?

C'mon - shampoo and conditioner all in one? Godless infidels!

[Berry Cool]

38. More likely for our K-Y Jelly

and that "liquid that warms on contact."

[Berry Cool]

39. Oh MAN!!! THIS IS HUGH11!!!11!!

GO KEITH!!!! He's pointing out that * knew about this situation MONDAY but didn't SAY ANYTHING until the Conn. primary was over!!!!

He's catching Tony Snow in a Snow Job!

[bleever]

42. Jonathon Alter: This is their only card to play, and they're going to

play it hard.

Nice catch on the timing of the public attacks on Dems.

[Patsy Stone]

40. "Do you take the war on terror seriously?"

No, Tony. I don't.

Who knew what where when? I want to know those answers.

[Berry Cool]

45. They use this sort of news as a Hamburger Helper for their political meat

That is a GREAT quote!

Keith is cutting right to the chase. How long before everyone concludes that it's all just crying wolf?

[bettyellen]

41. hello and a big mwaaah to you ladies!!

[bleever]

43. Oh man, the ladies have all the luck.

[bettyellen]

50. and double bonus smoochies for my true bleever!

[SharonRB]

46. Hola, be

[bettyellen]

52. great, but so busy! moving in 8 days now!!!

working like a madman, but loving it.
and lunching often at the city bakery. make me think of you guys- and the protest!

[SharonRB]

62. That's great.

It' about time! Congratulations!

[Patsy Stone]

70. Hello, be!

[bettyellen]

87. hey ms soon to be birthday girl!

we must cracjk a bottle open for ourselves next week!
how's tuesday?

[SharonRB]

91. Hey, don't foget about me!

Mine is the 21st.

Happy birthday to all of us Leos.

[Patsy Stone]

93. Yes, we're all celebrating together!

August is KOEB birthday month!

How's your Friday?

[SharonRB]

95. I was crazy busy at work

Now I'm watching Strictly Ballroom with my daughter. I think I'll skip CD tonight, since KO is gone anyway. Maybe I'll check in on the thread occasionally.

[Patsy Stone]

96. One of my favorite movies!

Enjoy. It's Alison.

Shabbat Shazam!

[SharonRB]

97. Oh, poo, I'll miss her

I thought it would be Brian.

I never saw this. I'm liking it so far, though. I did see Moulin Rouge. The feel is so similar.

[Patsy Stone]

98. I was so wrong

It's someone named Amy Robach. Don't rush.

I like the low-budgetness of it (before he got all that money). In fact, I like Australian films in general because of it.

[SharonRB]

99. So do I

I'm glad I'm not missing Alison.

[bettyellen]

101. what was that one with the sleazy Dj? Love's Serenade? that was fab too!

the song of which also has the best barry white lyrics evah!

[bettyellen]

100. yeah, ballroom is a sweet flick-

and i think he has the dancing on a rooftop in all his flicks.
love that!

[WolverineDG]

79. Hola be!!

I wish I could have brekkie at City Bakery again & have some of that awesome cold hot chocolate or hot cold chocolate or whatever it is....

dg

[bettyellen]

89. hola amiga!

i will have one for you then...
if you insist!

[RevCheesehead]

44. Hamburger Helper for the red meat of politics?

Brilliant!

[Berry Cool]

49. It's an excellent point they're making.

It's DANGEROUS to lull us into a false sense of security, and it's DANGEROUS to keep trying to scare us to the point where we no longer take ANY threat as serious. Because then, someday, one of them will be--and we'll be caught with our pants down.

[RevCheesehead]

51. That would be "The Boy Who Cried Wolfowitz", right?

I remember my childhood stories. Right up there with "The Little Red Hen" and "The Emperor's New Clothes."

[Patsy Stone]

71. And Chicken Little

LOL!

[Olney Blue]

47. Hi BerryBush and everyone!

I missed you all last night during the momentous evening. My computer had problems.

[RevCheesehead]

54. Hi, Olney

Everything OK now?

[Olney Blue]

59. Yes, it was pretty desperate without DU for several hours.

Fortunately, I had the "One Percent Doctrine" on my nightstand to read.

[RevCheesehead]

61. I had some server issues the other day....

I feel your pain.

[RevCheesehead]

48. So is Keith the only person questioning this stuff?

[Berry Cool]

57. Hi Olney! No Cheese, KO's not the only one, but he's one of the few

discussing it intelligently.

Tucker's being skeptical too, but he wants profiling. You know, take all those swarthy guys and give THEM a hard time when they fly, but let all the cute, baby-faced boys go through unmolested.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

55. More play by play ladies, it's raining cats and dogs here

in the SW burbs of Chicago and my satellite just went out.. I need to hear more KO...

[bettyellen]

60. cojoined twins human interest now.....

and a cancer surviving little leaguer.....

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

65. Thanks, bettyellen,

It's trying to come back but not succeeding very well. I can catch the rerun at 11:00 pm CDT, if I have to.

Great show tonight, but then I just love Keith...

[bettyellen]

88. great show. a good 40 minutes analalysing today terror threat....

most shows just repeat what's spoonfed them. it's heartening to see news being covered.

[Gogi]

63. Send the rain back here, to Missouri, we need some more...

we're down nine inches fer cryin' out loud!

[SharonRB]

64. Hi, Mo

Are you sending some of that rain our way?

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

68. Hey Shar, yeah you guys in Detroit might just get some of this

later on tonight, if it doesn't dry up over the lake and western Michigan.

[Berry Cool]

66. Well, not much more to tell.

He just got done talking about the conjoined twins and his #1 story is the kid in Little League recovering from brain cancer who got put on the spot by the other team's coach as the one who had to either win the championship for his team or be the goat.

Keith didn't sound as riled by it yesterday when he talked about it on Dan's radio show as he does now!

Take it easy, Keith. The kid will be fine. A lot of times, people who have gone through something like that just want to be treated like everyone else. Even if it means being the goat.

edited to correct: it was the other team's coach who ordered that the kid before him be intentionally walked to put him on the spot. His OWN coach didn't put him on the spot.

[Olney Blue]

67. Hi mohin...nois- I haven't met you!

Keith is giving a baseball story- do you like sports?

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

72. Hey Olney Blue,

I'm a lurker not a poster on KOEB, but myself and Mr. Wonderful watch him faithfully every night.

I love sports, but let me tell you I'm a South Side Chicago Cub fan and huge fan of Da Bears!!!!

[Olney Blue]

86. Da Bears! Paging Botany, paging Botany.

[Berry Cool]

74. Oh, great. Joe starts right in with the theme music and dramatic graphics

"TARGET AMERICA: TERROR IN THE SKY!!!"

[Olney Blue]

85. I've got terror burnout. Is that possible?

[RevCheesehead]

69. Thank God - a bragelina/tomcat/surry-free show!!

Did we not have a WPITW? Or did I fall asleep?

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

73. Hey Rev, what's a WPITW????

[SharonRB]

76. Worst Person in the World, of course!

[SharonRB]

75. No, we didn't have it.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

80. Thanks Shar, I think I forgot to take my "use your brain" pill today....

Will Keith be on tomorrow night?? The satellite feed still hasn't come back. Not that I watch that asshat Scarborough..

[Berry Cool]

77. And you know what? I didn't miss them one single bit!

And no, we didn't have a WPITW (Worst Person In The World) either.

Or a paper toss. Or an Oddball.

A whole HOUR of straight news.

Once in a while, it's nice.

edited to add: Godspeed Keith. Don't expect you'll be in condition to do tomorrow's show after your flight, even if you want to.

Oh well, it's another Brian Unger Friday.

[RevCheesehead]

78. It was well worth it, wasn't it?

Thank you, Keith, for an excellent show tonight!

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

83. Doesn't sound like I missed too much..

I'll try and catch ya's tomorrow night.

[RevCheesehead]

90. I'm glad you could join us tonight!

And please do come back. Free virtual drinks, and all the snark you can eat!

[SharonRB]

92. Come back anytime, Mo

We'd love to have you join us.

I don't think KO will be here tonight, though. He's out in LA doing an awards show.

[Patsy Stone]

84. We did not!

I missed WPITW, but the rest could stay gone.
