KOEB Meeting: 06/03/08 -- Hello, I Must Be Going Edition

[Patsy Stone]

Hello, I must be going.
I cannot stay, I came to say, I must be going.
I'm glad I came, but just the same, I must be going.

For my sake, you must stay.
If you should go away,
You'd spoil this party I am throwing.

I'll stay a week or two,
I'll stay the summer through,
But I am telling you,
I must be going.

Before you go,
Will you oblige us,
And tell us of your deeds so glowing?

I'll do anything you say,
In fact, I'll even stay!

(Good!)

But I must be going.

[SharonRB]

1. Thank goodness!

:hi:

Hey, Hillary -- don't let the doors hit you on the way out. We'll miss you, but we'll get over it -- really quickly!

[Berry Cool]

4. Hey Sha-Sha!

:hi: Made it home OK?

Keith is in high snark already tonight just doing the intro! Should be an excellent show!

[SharonRB]

8. Yup

I'm here all safe and sound. Guess you got home okay, too.

[Patsy Stone]

6. How can we miss her

if she won't go away?

:hi:

:bounce:

[Berry Cool]

9. That's what I said to Sharon last night!

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

7. Hi Sharon!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

10. Hi, SG

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

19. How can we miss her

if she won't go away?

:hi:

dg

[bunny planet]

51. And how can she be VP

if she still thinks she's Prez.
My head is spinning.
I didn't see the speech, did Terry M. really introduce her as the next President of the US. President of her own private Idaho is more like it.

[Patsy Stone]

57. Yes, ma'am, he did.

They won't let them do the vetting of the Clinton Library donors for one thing. Ooopsie.

No VP for you, Hill!

[bunny planet]

68. Sounds like the people in that room with her last night didn't even have a

clue what was going on outside the room, otherwise they would've known that outside in the reality based community (and people who know math other than Hillary-math) already were celebrating Obama's clear victory. I don't think she said anything in that speech to clue them in either. It was her last chance at a classy exit and she just came off delusional and pissy. The time for congratulating Obama was last night, not Friday.

[Patsy Stone]

70. Yes, to all of it.

And what's wrong with tomorrow? Or right now? :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

74. They didn't know. She was in a room 2 floors underground, with

no cell or Blackberry reception, no TV feed, no nothing.

[bunny planet]

80. That explains everything.

I don't think she didn't know enough to set them straight however. While they were shouting Denver, Denver, Denver, might have been a good time.

[SeattleGirl]

82. She didn't want them to know, is my guess.

I was watching that speech last night, and I kept thinking, WTF?

[bunny planet]

84. She really doesn't know what time it is.

[SharonRB]

105. Patsy calls it her

Norma Desmond moment.

[Berry Cool]

93. Normally rooms like that are lined with lead

and they are used to give radiation treatments.

[Berry Cool]

90. She kept them closed off and isolated from reality...

...who does this remind us of??? A certain George W. Bush?????? :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

95. There have been so many things she's done that remind me of him.

Hell, half the time, I felt I WAS fighting the Bush Cabal.

[WolverineDG]

123. And she said "stay the course" too

I was :wow: when she did that.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

92. Jonathan Alter

just said "money shot". Eeeew.

[Berry Cool]

137. There was a whole DU thread on someone else saying that.

It CAN be used in a non-porn context. But of course, that's not what everyone thinks of.

[Berry Cool]

151. If anything saves us from a Clinton vice presidency

it just may be their reluctance to disclose his financial info.

Whew.

[bunny planet]

48. Is she insane, now we owe her the VP spot.

I don't think so. It isn't only elephants who never forget.

[SeattleGirl]

52. Looks like that's not gonna happen, bunny.

Thank goodness!

[Berry Cool]

62. No way, Bun-Bun. She won't get it.

:hi: Glad to see you tonight!

[Berry Cool]

2. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.

:hi: How are you tonight, Pats?

[Patsy Stone]

11. Suddenly

much, much better. :hi:

So, who were these magical people who told her to get off the stage, and where were they before???

[SharonRB]

20. Charlie Rangel!

Too bad there's just no way to type that to get the right intonation across.

[Patsy Stone]

22. I read it that way

without any help. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

I figured you would

I never say it any other way.

[Patsy Stone]

29. I'll bet Schumer and Feinstein

were in there too.

Hey, Howie just confirmed Schumer.

[SharonRB]

31. So does her endorsement mean

she'll be giving him her superdelegate vote? :rofl:

[bunny planet]

99. Yeah right.

[SeattleGirl]

12. Hi Berry!

:hi:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

3. LOL, Patsy That's brilliant...

Hi everyone.. :hi:

"CHARLIE RANGEL??"

[GigiMommy]

13. Hi Everybody!!!

[Patsy Stone]

17. Tell the lovely lady what she's won, Johnny

:hi: Pats & all!!

dg

[SeattleGirl]

21. Hi DG!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

24. Hi Wolfie!

:hi: But don't you know...EVERYONE is wondering: What does HILLARY want???? :puke:

[Patsy Stone]

27. I AM BIG!

It's the PICTURES that got small!

:hi: and phew. Thank goodness.

[Berry Cool]

43. "I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. Reid!"

"Um, Hillary...there isn't going to BE a closeup. It's over."

"But Harry, I think I can still win Ontario."

"Hillary...Ontario is in Canada."

"But they're so much LIKE us..."

"No, Hillary."

"Damn."

[Patsy Stone]

53. Hillary Clinton stars in Cabaret

You have to understand the way I am, Mein Herr.
A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, Mein Herr.
You'll never turn the vinegar to jam, Mein Herr.

So I do...
What I do...
When I'm through...
Then I'm through...
And I'm through...
Toodle-oo!

Bye-Bye, mein lieber Herr.
Farewell, mein lieber Herr.
It was a fine affair,
But now it's over.
And though I used to care,
I need the open air.
You're better off without me, Mein Herr.

[Berry Cool]

87. Bye-Bye, mein Olbermann.

Farewell, mein Olbermann.
We're both much older, Mann.
But now it's over.
And though I thought I'd win,
You made me lose--your sin.
I'm better off without you, Olbermann. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

94. LOL

Throw her a hat, fellas!

:rofl:

[bunny planet]

103. What's the name of that movie, is it the veery famous one with Gloria Swanson

the name of which I've incredulously forgotten because I can't remember anything anymore.

[Patsy Stone]

106. Sunset Boulevard

[bunny planet]

111. Yes, my sieve of a brain now recalls.

With you help. I love that movie, is the young guy William Holden?

[Patsy Stone]

119. Yep

Double Plus Yum!

[bunny planet]

129. oh I agree, he was scrumptious.

But I liked Bob Mitchum best.

[GigiMommy]

110. Or THIS version...

R.I.P. Harvey Korman

[Patsy Stone]

113. The madame

does not like schtick!

:rofl:

:loveya:, Harvey.

[SeattleGirl]

125. Here, Patsy. A link to some Korman videos in the Video Forum

I added a couple to it, but the Desmond one wasn't one of them.

Went with the Wind and the Dentist sketch with Conway are though :rofl:

Doof edit to add the link (:blush: ): http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x142600

[Patsy Stone]

144. Excellent

Thanks!

What an amazing show. Anytime those two cracked each other up, I just wanted it go on and on.

[SeattleGirl]

145. Me too.

Those skits never get old!

[Berry Cool]

141. I loved when Carol and Harvey did that.

And I was just a kid and didn't even know what the reference was to.

It was funny on its own.

[bunny planet]

118. Awww Harvey.

:cry:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

28. I''m sitting here completely LOL

and :rofl:. You guys are too funny!!!!

[WolverineDG]

58. Heya Mo!

So glad to amuse ya!

:hi:

Tis a joyous day, after all. On Friday, our long national nightmare will be over!! :bounce:

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

[Berry Cool]

30. Hi ralps!

[ralps]

37. Hi BerryBush!

[Patsy Stone]

I don't know what this is

But it sounds like a wonderful time waster.

[RevCheesehead]

32. Andrea, dear - -

if you're going to call from home, then you should put the dog in another room.

:hi: I'm on the phone, and will be right with you!

[SeattleGirl]

40. Rev!!!!

:hi: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

41. She's on a train, I think

From what she told Stretch earlier.

[GigiMommy]

60. Hi Rev!!!

:hi: Cassie sez "HI!" too.

[Berry Cool]

79. Hey Rev!!!!

:hi: How ya hangin' out tonight??

LOL, Keith is going to tear into Fox & Fiends tonight. I cannot believe they wasted FIVE MINUTES of their show bitching about how Keith controls everything at MSNBC, how terrible it was that he called Gretchen Carlson "dumb" and "attacked" Steve Doocy's "child" (please!) and said "I wanna know what school HE went to and where HE finished in his class" and "If he's such a great guy, how come he's still SINGLE???"

The bad news: I think they're playing Keith for a fool. Of course they're doing all this because he's finally threatening Billo's ratings, but they're hoping to entice him to defend himself with a string of bragging answers. You know: "Listen, asswipes, I graduated from a private prep school at 16, from Cornell at 20, I'm an Emmy Award winner and my much-younger-than-me girlfriend and I will celebrate our second anniversary together this month as soon as we can get away on a flipping vacation."

Tomorrow morning's New York Post: "CRADLE-ROBBING OLBERMANN FORCED INTO COLLEGE TOO YOUNG, NOW LIVING WITH WOMAN LESS THAN HALF HIS AGE."

Don't fall into the trap, Keith.

[bunny planet]

33. I tried to post here late last night but my post didn't show up.

I hope I haven't had my star taken away, I think I missed a fundraiser when I was away. Let's see if this one shows up.

In case it does
Obama is our presumptive nominee!!!!
And Hillary is still Glen Close in Fatal Attraction, she's not going to be ignored.
Geesh.

[Patsy Stone]

38. Star's there and you're here.

DU was wiggy last night. DefCon 11.

Wheeeeeeee!!!! :hi:

[bunny planet]

56. Finally.

Now can we just go after Grampa. He's making it so easy for us. I heard excerpts from that speech of McTrollops, people who haven't slept in years finally got some winks during that one.

[SeattleGirl]

44. Hi bunny! I can see you AND your star!

And thank goodness she is finally getting out!

[Berry Cool]

49. "Let me be very clear: I KNOW Senator Obama will be a good friend to Israel."

Keith snarks: "Well, isn't that special?" :rofl:

:loveya: Keith.

[SharonRB]

45. Your post did show up last night

In the first thread, not Part Deux.

:hi:

[bunny planet]

59. oh, but it didn't show up in my DU list of posts at all, so I didn't know it was

posted.

[SharonRB]

63. We were at DefCon 4

No one's posts were showing up in "My DU."

[SeattleGirl]

66. I thought it was Defcon 1.

Oh hells, what do I know? :rofl:

[bunny planet]

72. oh ok

I should have realized last night would be wild in here.

[SeattleGirl]

64. My DU wasn't working during Defcon 1 last night.

[Berry Cool]

97. Really?

I thought that by the time I got home, everyone had just stopped posting!

[SeattleGirl]

101. No, I think DU blew up last night.

Took awhile for the pieced to fall back into place. :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

65. Hi Bunny!!!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

67. OH NO!! HIDE BUNNY!!!! HIDE!!!

If's she's in Fatal Attraction mode, you know it ain't over til the bunny's in the pot!! :scared:


dg

[SharonRB]

73. LOL

:rofl:

[bunny planet]

89. Fuckedy fuck fuck, I forgot about that.

I'm going to go put on my Groucho mask, that might throw her off long enough for me to make my escape.

[SeattleGirl]

55. Gene is giving me chills.

In a good way.

[GigiMommy]

81. Yes.

It hasn't really hit ME yet.

Edit: The MAGNITUDE of it.

[SharonRB]

61. I know I was scratching my head

I have no idea what she was trying to say. She kept jumping from one thing to another with no clear destination.

[SeattleGirl]

69. Exactly, Sharon.

One minute, it seemed she was heading toward conceding; the next minute, I expected her to draw her sword and incite her supporters to storm the Bastille! :crazy:

[SharonRB]

77. Exactly!

I kept going...oh, yes, she's going to con....oh, no, she's not...oh, yes, she is...oh, no....and on and on and on.

[Berry Cool]

143. I was down in the lobby listening to the POTUS 08 channel on my XM Radio.

When she said "I will make no decisions tonight" I thought "I. Cannot. Believe. This."

I was tempted to call you too, Sharon. "What the...??!?!?!?!?$$@$%@#W#$@!"

[GigiMommy]

102. YEAH!

[WolverineDG]

71. I'm sure she was saying anything so she wouldn't have to say

"I quit."

Bitch. I'm glad several senators & reps had a "Come to Jesus" meeting with her this morning.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

78. They had to, because they saw how the party is being torn apart.

They know that we have to start putting it back together NOW, and that Clinton is the one to really start that process.

[Berry Cool]

146. If that failed, I'd say, call Jesus and tell him he has to come to HER.

[WolverineDG]

75. Oh, and this just in:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=180&topic_id=52331&mesg_id=52331


dg

[Patsy Stone]

85. Yes!

:toast:

[SeattleGirl]

86. YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

Fabulous news, and once again, congratulations to you and everyone who worked so hard on this case!

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

91. Hey Wolvie, you done good...

:hug: :hug:

[Berry Cool]

98. Hurray, and kudos to you!!

[GigiMommy]

139. Good job Wolfie!

:applause:

[bunny planet]

83. She didnt' have a read on it because she still thinks the Clintons are the most powerful

in the Democratic party, times have changed.

[SeattleGirl]

88. And it's well time that they did.

[Berry Cool]

100. The worm turned on Saturday.

I hope things will never be the same.

I'm loving this new model for political fundraising. No more dependency on the super-wealthy who keep financing candidates who will defend THEIR interests. The PEOPLE give smaller amounts directly to those who represent THEIR interests, and those amounts add up.

[bunny planet]

109. Yes, I'm kind of fond of the new democracy (as far as fundraising goes anyway)

Now we just need to fix those crooked machines that don't record verifiable proof of who we voted for.
We need it not to be close in any way in November, and with Grampa's rousing speeches, it won't be.
He wants 10 Town Hall style debates with Obama, that ought to be good. I think McCain's speech last night was unusually bad because he's just realizing he's got to run against someone so much better at speaking then he is.

[bunny planet]

96. Have I ever said how much I hate pantsuits.

For that reason alone she doesn't deserve to be VP.

[Berry Cool]

104. Aw, "Bot Flop."

I hope Botany doesn't take that one personally. :-(

[GigiMommy]

107. Meg Ryan was one of those

Betsy's too on "As The World Turns"!

[Berry Cool]

108. Ohhhh, Keith.

:rofl: Every time I doubt you...

...You DIDN'T take the bait, yet scored the perfect revenge on Fox & Fiends...the same way you so often do...by merely telling the truth about them and making them look like jackasses.

Game, set, match, Olbermann!! :applause:

[Berry Cool]

112. Why do I get the feeling that Keith once dated Lindsay Frost

and that was his small way of acknowledging it?

Hey, I mean, there must be SOME reason his therapist made him put a sign over his mirror that said "Actresses act."

[bunny planet]

114. OMG, that Bush / McCain composite pic was hysterical.

Bad Keef. But we love you for it.

:spank:

[SeattleGirl]

115. Oh yeah, John. You could really take this country in a new direction.

NOT!

[Berry Cool]

158. Sure he could...

JOHN MCCAIN ROCKS THE VOTE!!!!!!

[bleever]

116. Oh man, somebody oil Grampa.

He's creaking again.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

127. LOL

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

134. Hi Bleever!!!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

120. My friends, uh........

:boring:

[SeattleGirl]

121. RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

124. She's starting to be convinced

that Hillary will actually drop out on Friday. LOL!

[GigiMommy]

122. RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

128. Ha! Rachel's still not convinced Hillary is quitting!

Keith's all excited, but Rachel is like me. She won't believe Hillary's campaign is dead until she sees the silver bullet in the body, the wooden stake through the heart, and hears the word "concede."

[bunny planet]

126. In a sane world, McCain wouldn't have the chance of a snowball in hell

being measured up against Obama. Just seeing those two speeches and crowd reactions compared, I think McCain should drop out on Friday right along with Hillary. He looks pathetic. He really should have waited and not made a speech last night, he just looked so damn bad.

[SeattleGirl]

130. He looked pathetic.

[Berry Cool]

131. He was really sorry last night.

LOL, Rachel says he can get the "I-resent-the-hunky-guy vote."

Keith: "Did you say HUNKY??? Say that clearly, please." :rofl:

[bunny planet]

132. yes, that could have been awkward if it wan't clarified. You know faux noise is

just waiting for something like that out of MSNBC that they can misreport and get faux outraged about.

[SeattleGirl]

133. LOL!

That was funny! :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

149. And, on Saturday, Hillary says:

"PSYCH!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

135. Even the Harlem Globetrotters

needed the Washington Generals.

"I think McCain should drop out on Friday right along with Hillary." :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

160. If that happened, could we just make Obama president right away

and dump Bush? Get an early start on our badly needed recovery?

Damn, why do we have to wait until January?

[Patsy Stone]

136. Soon, Terry McAuliffe

will appear to say she's Punk'd us.

[SeattleGirl]

140. Ah, Terry, the yipping chihuahua.

With apologies to all genuine yipping chihuahua's everywhere.

[bleever]

138. Billo's interview with Scotty is worth watching,

if that's what you're into.

It's up in two parts in the Political Videos forum.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

142. I tried to watch a few days ago and I had to shut it off

about 10 minutes into it. O'Reilly sickens me.. I can't stand to watch him.

[Patsy Stone]

147. I heard bits of it on Steph

and I'm not sure I can sit through more than that.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

148. She's not gonna let go. First it was Friday, now it's Saturday?

:wtf:

[Patsy Stone]

150. I think its Friday

and there's another event Saturday? I have no idea. Wake me on Monday, and I'll see where we are. :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

161. Remember, even though she's tough as nails, she's a very delicate porcelain figurine

and must be handled very carefully. She needs to be disengaged sloooowly and ever so carefully.

Either that, or they are going to have to carefully pry her fingers off one by one.

[Patsy Stone]

163. Just freakin' GO!

And I was wrong, it's Saturday now. Saturday, the 12th of Never. :eyes:

[Botany]

152. Well it looks like everybody had fun here tonight ....

.... Tip your Bleever on the way out.

[Berry Cool]

159. You mean, like a cow?

I have already heard that Billo's interview with Scotty wasn't nearly as much about his book as about how angry Billo was that he went off and talked about it first to the "Bush haters" over at NBC (translation: Keith).

Poor Billo, they stole his binky and he's still crying.

[Patsy Stone]

153. Someone tell Lisa Caputo she doesn't have to do this any more.

Is there an "Off" switch? :eyes:

Hey, does this mean I don't have to see her or Howard Wolfson on my TeeVee anymore?

[SharonRB]

155. One can only hope

[SeattleGirl]

154. And Lisa Caputo is still living in LaLa Land on Abrams.

I switched over to the hockey game. At least in that one, they are supposed to get after each other.

[Patsy Stone]

156. Jinx

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

157. ........

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

164. OMG. She's only "suspending."

She's going to endorse Obama, but not withdraw her name from nomination, just in case.

Oh. My. God.

Is she the ultimate optimist, or is she just crazy?

Hmm.

Maybe I should take a page from her.

Dear Keith, if you should ever change your mind and want a date...I'll be waiting...

...naah. She's crazy. :shrug:

[Berry Cool]

162. Oh no, I think I'm dying, I really do.

What's the score of the Red Wings game? :rofl:
