[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

1. first we have Oddball-- a 10 foot squid

[Wordie]

2. The things we put up with for dribs and drabs of the election story! LOL

[rodeodance]

3. I agree--dripppper and droppppper first the Intel report!!

[rodeodance]

4. all the big boys up there taking credit for the Intel bill

[rodeodance]

5. would like to know what carrot Stensenbrenner got to pull away

from his immigration segment? I am just waiting for KO

[Wordie]

6. You know, they've been talking about the intelligence bill compromise all

day, but I've yet to hear anyone really explaining the meat of the compromise, not just what its about. It is sad in a way, that it at this point just seems to me to be an interruption in my waiting and hoping to hear more election news! LOL

[rodeodance]

7. cobb scheuling news conference for tomorrow

[rodeodance]

8. said protests NOT just from the fringes anymore as the Democrat

Party will be getting their toes in the mess!!

Forum is the term by John Conyers--concerns of the 2004 election.
Wants raw data for the exit polls.
Letter to Blackwell from Conyers mentioned.

[Wordie]

16. Please start a new thread when/if you get the details! Thanks! n/t

[Patsy Stone]

18. They just wanted

to let us know that they're back at work, making the word a better place. :)

Yesterday's CNN.com headline read "Frist Predicts Compromise on Intelligence Bill" or something like that. Is he Miss Cleo all of a sudden?

[Clark2008]

9. I was too busy laughing at the Mars Attacks intro

to notice Squidbert much. :)

I'm wondering if Keith has a thing for "sea critters."

:crazy:

[Scout1071]

10. All in all, I think things are really looking up

I am beginning to think some of the Clint stuff is true. The DEM machine sure seems to be in motion today. MacAuliffe, Kerry's attorney, Edwards comment, Kerry going to NH and IA, Conyers Hearings, lawsuits in Ohio, tons of new MSM attention (without some of the usual condescending tone.)

Keith's quote from Kerry's attorney (sorry didn't get name):

"...neither the pending Ohio recount nor this investigation is DESIGNED to challenge the popular vote in Ohio...."

I think it's interesting that he says "designed." He doesn't say they are not challenging, but if the investigation turns their way.....then so be it.

[Scout1071]

11. Quote was from

Daniel J. Hoffheimer
Ohio Legal Counsel for
Kerry-Edwards 2004

[17yroldtwins]

12. I've been at work.

What comment from Edwards?

Give me some good news!!!

Attie

[Scout1071]

13. I saw it

in another DU thread. I'll see what I can find.

[17yroldtwins]

14. Thanks a bunch! n/t

[Patsy Stone]

15. I missed that..

Really? Cool.

[Scout1071]

20. Found

in this thread this morning:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x117758

[Scout1071]

23. By the way

I just looked at your moniker. I'm one of the biggest Ab Fab lovers around Sweety Darling.

[Patsy Stone]

24. Champers and nibblies?

"Darling, if you want to talk bollocks and discover the meaning of life, you're better off downing a bottle of whiskey. At least that way, you're unconscious by the time you start to take yourself seriously."

Cheers!

[Scout1071]

25. Brilliant

Patsy and Eddie are my heroes. I truly believe that Jennifer Saunders is the funniest woman since Lucy. I've found myself on more than one occassion with a firm grip on a champagne bottle in one hand and a smoke in the other calling "sweety darling......"

[Patsy Stone]

28. IMHO

Not only was that some of the funniest television EVER, but she stole Shrek 2.

Reporter: Shepard's Bush?
Edina: Shepard's Bush! No, Holland Park! And not the suburbs either, darling...the rich HEARTLAND of Holland Park.

Please, this conversation could use its own thread! Bitch Troll!

[Scout1071]

29. After we help save America

We'll have to get together for an Ab Fab thread.

[Patsy Stone]

30. Right, Wonder Woman! Lead the way n/t :)

[Scout1071]

32. I've joked with my friends

That I'm a mega-conglomerate account exec by day and a democratic superhero by night....so the Wonder Woman pic was only fitting!

[Patsy Stone]

36. Hoping this picture comes through

[bleever]

31. And what about that rendition of "I Need a Hero" she does on

the soundtrack?

Now THAT'S a theme song for us. If you actually listen to the words, it's a pretty damn good piece of writing, and JS's delivery is, in fact, fabulous.

This insight brought to you courtesy of the two kids whole hold dominion over dad's car CD player whenever they are present.

[Scout1071]

34. Oh my gosh....

I cannot believe that I didn't know about the Soundtrack!

[Scout1071]

38. Well, that was a nice

smoke break from the revolution.

I'm off for like Patsy's panties and headed for bed.

Have a lovely evening all.

[Patsy Stone]

37. u2

[Patsy Stone]

39. And he's gotta be fresh from the fight...

You know, even in that dog of a movie (Footloose not Shrek 2), that song stood out as damn good cheese. Thank God for Jim Steinman, without whom Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler would never have had careers.

[bleever]

33. ...

[bones_7672]

17. A day late and a few million dollars short.

Ohio certified. No judge or senator will contest it now. The recount (97% of it anyway) will be done the same way as election day, so there will be very little change in the totals after the recount. 118,000 vote difference is insermountable.

[alittlelark]

19. uh, yeah....

whatever you say:eyes:

[bones_7672]

21. Hey, it's not up to me, but in looking at what happened in 2000

and knowing Congress, there will be no one of any consequence who will rock the boat.

[MarkusQ]

26. Except maybe the American public. (n/t)

[saracat]

41. Ahem...As he said. When have we been of consequence?

[AndrewClarke]

35. The recount won't be done the same way as election day:

Ohio Revised Code § 3515.04. Procedure for recount; stopping recount.

At the time and place fixed for making a recount, the board of elections, in the presence of all witnesses who may be in attendance, shall open the sealed containers containing the ballots to be recounted, and shall recount them. If a county used punch card ballots and if a chad is attached to a punch card ballot by three or four corners, the voter shall be deemed by the board not to have recorded a candidate, question, or issue choice at the particular position on the ballot, and a vote shall not be counted at that particular position on the ballot in the recount. Ballots shall be handled only by the members of the board or by the director or other employees of the board. . . .

This is clearly describing a hand recount.

[txindy]

43. That's exactly right. It is NOTHING like the first count, at all.

Before people dismiss the recount, they need to learn the differences. There's the not-insignificant matter of the many 'spoiled' ballots that may well be counted in a hand count. There are many things that could change. Defeatism is the one thing that never changes, however.

[rzemanfl]

22. K. O.

Does any one know what happened to the link to Olbermann's blog on the MSNBC web page?

[ddd3]

27. link is there at msnbc.com, upper right

but MSNBC switches the upper right corner depending on that day's programming.

you can always access olbermann's blog from it's spot lower down on the page.

[rzemanfl]

Thanks

Thanks.

[crispini]

40. I just feel the need to post, for the zillionth time,

in my ineffable fangirly way that KO is officially the Hottest. Newsguy. Ever. Brains and integrity... mwah! :loveya: Sigh....




Hey, at least I didn't START A NEW THREAD for it, OK? Consider yourself lucky. :D

[txindy]

44. But I think it deserves a thread all its own

'Cause I happen to agree with you. :toast:

But I'm forcing myself to focus on content during 'Countdown'. It's a mighty struggle, though! LOL!

Consider how lucky we are, crispini. In some bizarre alternate universe, we could have all of this great reporting being done by Robert Novak or, Saints preserve us, Bill O'Reilly. Imagine being glued to the screen then. Or, better, yet...Don't. It's too horrible. Some images should not be seared on our retinas for life.

Now I'm gonna have nightmares.

[Miami Liberal]

45. You're not alone

It's getting harder and harder to concentrate on what he's saying without my mind wandering elsewhere.

Smart and sexy, what more can we want?

:loveya:

[Karenca]

47. i'm with you on K.O..

I don't hear Keith at all anymore.
I have to call my friend up after the broadcast to find out what I missed while I was watching him.

Hi PatsyStone too!!

[txindy]

48. It's the humor that's the final touch

And my kind of humor, too.

Ah, yes, 'tis a real struggle to watch 'Countdown' these days. ;)

[Miami Liberal]

54. And he replies to his e-mail

You don't hear of O'liely doing that.

[Patsy Stone]

55. I'm

a Miami Liberal, too. Actually, Miami Beach. Greetings!

[Miami Liberal]

58. Excellent!

I'm in the Aventura area.

[Patsy Stone]

61. Love the mawwwlll...soooo Aventura!

I'm going to bed now, with sweet dreams. We'll talk again I'm sure.

[txindy]

56. I've heard of O'Liely doing waaaay too much already, thank you very much

Ugh. I can't even look at the falafel in the supermarket, anymore without laughing and gagging all at once. ;)

[Patsy Stone]

57. Falafel

No matter what, it's a funny word.

[Miami Liberal]

60. LOL

[Patsy Stone]

46. Now

Why do I always find you ladies here?

[Karenca]

49. hey, Patsy

:pals:

About KO:
So we're all dreaming the same dream at night.
Who's the lady in the picture?

[Patsy Stone]

50. Sweetie, Darling

It's Patsy Stone. Joanna Lumley is the actress, Absolutely Fabulous is the show...Get thee to a video rental joint this minute!

[Karenca]

51. being that I trust your fine taste--I'm on my way ::)) nt

[Patsy Stone]

53. Honestly

It's one of the funniest shows ever. BBC comedy. So, so good.

[Patsy Stone]

52. Would love to wax poetic

Hubby too close for comfort. Yes, damn it, I'll admit it. ;)

[proudtobeadem]

59. What did KO say today??
