KOEB Meeting: 07/14/08 -- Rachel's here and Keith's at the Home Run Derby Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi Patsy! Howdy all!

Keith is on his own All-Star break.

:hi:

[bunny planet]

2. Yo Patsy yo Patsy yo Patsy yo Patsy

Yo!!!
I finally made it to a Rachel clubhouse meeting.
How the hell is everybody?

[SeattleGirl]

5. Hi bunny!

Good to see you !:hi:

[bunny planet]

9. Hey SG, I just had to show up tonight.

When does KO come back?
Glad to see you too.

[SeattleGirl]

14. Probably not until Wednesday at least.

It's the All-Star break, and the game is at Yankee Stadium.

[Berry Cool]

10. Hi Bun-Bun!

:hi: And SG and whoever else shows up...

I'm OK, although suffering from Keith-deprivation.

[Patsy Stone]

17. Yo, baby! Yo, baby, Yo!

Holla! :hug: :loveya:

[bunny planet]

22. Did you ever see Spike Lee's first movie 'She Gotta Have It'?

yo baby yo baby yo baby yo baby yo!! It's my fave.

[Patsy Stone]

26. Absolutely!

Still my favorite movie of his. Loved the too smooth rich guy.

[bunny planet]

28. I'm going to watch it again this summer with my son when he gets back from

Philly. He's a film buff, he's never seen it, and he's gonna love it.

[Patsy Stone]

34. You're

the coolest mom ever. :)

[bunny planet]

51. Ha, don't tell that to my kids.

I'm afraid they'd have to disagree.

[SharonRB]

101. Sorry I missed you tonight

I had a campaign meeting for our county clerk candidate. I'm here for the re-air.

[Berry Cool]

3. Hi. Yes, it's as I feared.

:hi: Ordinarily he wouldn't have bothered, but having the damn thing right in Yankee Stadium was too much to resist. Which means he'll be missing tomorrow night, too. :cry:

[SeattleGirl]

8. Hi Berry!

Yep, he just couldn't ignore the whispers of the stadium. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

13. I had wondered whether he might be at the TV Critics' summer event in LA

aka "The Death March with Cocktails," but Tim Goodman has yet to report having seen him there...and he even QUOTED him earlier in the week ("We're all day to day").

Soooo, I think he's probably watching a bunch of juiced-up sluggers hit balls out of the park.

[WolverineDG]

16. On the bright side

he probably won't get to take any time off until after the election. :think:

So dry your eyes & get yourself ready for a Keith-a-pa-looza once this baseball all star nonsense is over with.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

19. Beaucoup debates, too.

Lots of extra after hours Keith.

:hi:, DG! :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

32. That's what I'm thinkin'.

This is Keith's last hurrah before the onslaught. We'll see more of Keith than people who actually know him (outside of MSNBC, at least). Tee hee. :-)

[Patsy Stone]

4. Hello, Richard Clarke!

:loveya:

[bunny planet]

6. I watched her all last week filling in.

Damn she's good, almost makes me forget to miss Keef so much.
She should be his only fill-in host from now on. She's scary smart and I love huh!!!

[ralps]

7. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone!! I guess Keith's got a 2 week vacation??

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

[SeattleGirl]

11. Hi ralps!

I'm sure he couldn't resist going to the Home Run Derby AND the All-Star game since they're right in his back yard! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

15. And the last in old Yankee Stadium.

The urge was way too great.

:hi:, SG!

[ralps]

20. Hi SeattleGirl!!! Yep I guess so!

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

[Patsy Stone]

31. Looks like it

But we've got Rachel, and that's almost as good.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

12. America has forgotten about both wars. Don't kid yourself about that.

How much more damage will * do before he leaves office? :mad:

[Berry Cool]

24. I dread to think.

But I'm glad they're leading with this story tonight instead of the New Yorker story. I mean, covering it is fine, but I like the fact that they have a meaty policy story as their leadoff, not a meta-story about the media.

[bunny planet]

18. Richard Clarke, the first major whistleblower for these long eight years.

His hair was on fire right out of the gate. RC and Paul O'Neill both. Oh if only they'd both been listened to.

[Patsy Stone]

21. Whisked quickly off the stage

Labeled as too liberal and unstable. I hate these mofos.

[bunny planet]

25. Me too.

too many mutha uckahs ucking up my shi.

[Patsy Stone]

27. For you...

[bunny planet]

29. That's my Patsela, there with the picture reference like lightening.

[Berry Cool]

54. HEYYYY!!!!

I think that magazine cover is offensive and insulting to the Captain and Tenille!

[Patsy Stone]

56. I speak for the bulldogs.

We're hungry.

[WolverineDG]

23. Evening all!

I hope all this baseball talk doesn't get us yelled at for being off-topic. :P

Anyhow, Happy Monday! Rachel borrowed THE Gray Suit again :grr: & Bunny showed up!! :loveya:

:hi:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

30. Hi Wolvie!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

39. Heya SG!!

:hi:

dg

[bunny planet]

36. I came on and read that thread here the other day.

Unbefekkinglievable. What was up with that.

[WolverineDG]

37. Long story bun bun

Loooong story.....

dg

[bunny planet]

44. Oh, I know what its about.

It was just a rhetorical what's up with that.

[WolverineDG]

67. Yeah

:crazy: & :wtf: at the same time.

dg

[Berry Cool]

57. Obviously, Rachel is hoping to trick Wolfie into falling in love with her.

It's like some twisted Shakespeare play.

[WolverineDG]

82. Yeah, but I'm not that kind of a girl

Sorry Rach. :(

dg

[Berry Cool]

69. I really think that any discussion of baseball within the KOEB

automatically qualifies as ON-topic.

I mean, this is a Keith forum, after all.

[WolverineDG]

73. Yes, but what would KEITH have to say about it?

I demand you tell me. :stomps feet:

Yah, whatevs..... :eyes:

dg

[Berry Cool]

94. I dunno.

I think I'll go to Yankee Stadium and ask him. :rofl:

[bunny planet]

33. Way to go Grampa McBush, keep calling it Czechoslovakia.

How's about an appearance on 'Are You Smarter than a Third Grader' next.

of course, I probably can't spell Czechoslovakia, so I shouldn't cast asparagus at John Sidney.

[WolverineDG]

38. HE FORGOT POLAND!!

Sorry, couldn't resist. :evilgrin:

dg

[Berry Cool]

60. Keith also would not be able to do so.

I recall him referring to Czechoslovakia himself one night. Oops.

[bunny planet]

61. Oopsy.

But you know if he was here tonight he'd own up to it immediately.

[Berry Cool]

IF he remembered.

I don't think that at the time he did it, he even realized it.

[bunny planet]

75. but he does now.

[Berry Cool]

97. You're assuming he reads anything I have to say!

I don't know about that!

[GigiMommy]

35. Hello Everyone!

:hi: Doing a drive-by! Cassie's doing better.

[SeattleGirl]

40. Hi Gigi!

Glad Miss Cassie is doing better! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[ralps]

46. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie!! Yay!!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

48. Hi, you two!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

62. Hi GGM & Cassie!!

Hope Cassie is resting and not getting too restless.

[bunny planet]

41. We get it, we get it, we know what the cover was trying to say.

That's why its called the New Yorker, because they don't care if anyone outside of New York gets it. However, I don't believe the 12% who still think that Obama is a Muslim fist jabbing liberal elitist with an afro toting wife will get the satire or will ever change their minds and drop their suspicions of him regardless of whether they do or not.

[SeattleGirl]

42. Those people who believe the lies about Obama wouldn't know

satire if it hit 'em upside the head with a 2x4!

[bunny planet]

45. Exactly.

[Berry Cool]

68. I'm on the fence about it.

In some ways I think it was really dumb, yet at the same time I find some of the things some people have said about it annoying. You know, the usual implications that sophisticated New Yorkers will get it but us hicks out in Ohio will just see it and think it's the truth. Followed immediately by others saying "That's not a concern, Ohioans are too hickish to read the New Yorker." Gee, thanks a lot.

As it so happens, I picked up a free copy of the issue with the article about Keith in it just two weeks ago when I found it lying around abandoned in the Cleveland bus station! Hmph. Perhaps the Ohio bus passenger who left it behind was too illiterate to read it.

[bunny planet]

72. oh there's plenty of people in plenty of places plenty bright enough to read and

understand the New Yorker. However, the 12% that still thinks Obama is a Muslim are not, nor will they ever be, among them.

[Berry Cool]

84. That's probably a pretty safe bet.

So in that sense, it does no damage 'cept that it's pitchers.

[bunny planet]

93. the damage in my estimation is in the perception, perpetuated by the media

that the cover has changed minds of people who didn't think Obama was a Muslim earlier. Any lie they can perpetuate to explain the surprising turn in the exit polls that seemingly takes place miraculously in swing states during national Presidential elections is what worries me. In close races (which hopefully this one won't be) anything they can claim changed peoples minds at the last minute is the kind of drek they stir up. Look at what they did with the OBL tape before the 2004 election, that was supposedly the thing that changed peoples minds about voting for Kerry. Bullshit. bullshit, bullshit, it was KKKarl's 'The Math' and nothing else that got those results in Ohio.

[Berry Cool]

98. Damn straight there.

To this day people will still claim it was God, guns and gays that won Ohio for Bush. No, it was Rove and Blackwell.

[Patsy Stone]

43. I think the cable news outlets

now have to spend a lot of time explaining the smears against Obama -- and that sounds like a lot of free publicity to me.

[Patsy Stone]

47. Loved Miss USA

popping up off the floor and applauding herself after her fall. :rofl:

Good for her!

[bunny planet]

49. I haven't treated myself to watching that video yet.

I'm saving it for later.

[Patsy Stone]

50. I saw it live

and I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything at the time.

Two years in a row?? What are the chances? Is it a c-o-n-spiracy?

[bunny planet]

52. I think they should fall and effortlessly turn it into a split.

Now that would be a kewl save.

[bunny planet]

83. The first fall was better.

But seeing that second one live, you are a lucky teevee watcher Pats.

[WolverineDG]

64. Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down

Is Miss USA part-Tigger? I swear that was a butt-bounce.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

53. LOL! I love how Rachel said "Bushed" tonight!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

55. That was very cute

and quite Hee Haw like.

[SeattleGirl]

58. Haha! It WAS Hee Haw like!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

65. I couldn't wait for Hee Haw

to come on. Why? I don't know. Maybe it was all that pickin' and grinnin'.

[WolverineDG]

70. BR-549

Need I say that it was "appointment TV" in my house when I was growing up? :)

Gloom, despair, it's agony on me.....


dg

[SeattleGirl]

74. ....Deep dark depression

Excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck
I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, its agony on me!

[WolverineDG]

77. Aw, gee, are we related?

:rofl:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

78. You never know!

:rofl:

[WolverineDG]

80. Hey Grandpa, what's for supper?

:rofl:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

88. "Pfft You Were Gone"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqnm3A10m8I

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

103. that was great!

thanks for sharing!
dg

[Patsy Stone]

85. Where, oh where, are you tonight?

Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I found true love
You met another and, Pfft! you was gone.

[SeattleGirl]

89. Psst......

....Look at my post just above yours. :7

[SeattleGirl]

71. "I'm pickin'!" "An' I'm grinnin'!"

:rofl:

[WolverineDG]

81. Extry points if you can remember which was which nt

[Patsy Stone]

92. I think Roy Clark was pickin'

Am I right?

[WolverineDG]

102. Oh crap

now *I* can't remember. I thought Buck Owens was pickin'..... :crazy:

dg

[Berry Cool]

87. I hope I have a tape somewhere of Keith from Dan Patrick's show

the day they got onto a discussion of "Hee Haw" and Keith sang the "Where oh where are you tonight" song! :rofl:

It was the best!!!!

[bunny planet]

59. Wow, reading about that bribe for the My Pet Goat Presidential Library

is entirely different from watching the actual tape. Unbelievable. Yet another scandal on Bushed. How many does that make now? I've completely lost count. I wish I'd started keeping track from the beginning but who has time for that kind of record keeping.

[Patsy Stone]

63. For some reason

I'm more outraged about their existence today than I usually am.

[bunny planet]

66. I'm skipping a day of outrage today

so I'm sure I'll be twice as outraged again tomorrow.

[Berry Cool]

76. Every day is a day to be outraged against Bushco.

LOL, I admit this new Capital One CardLab ad is pretty funny.

"And put a picture of Admiral Barky on it." :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

79. And, once again, Keith proves his utter class

while Rupert Murdoch and Page 6 prove that they have NO CLASS, none at all, and would even exploit the death of one of their own if they think they can score points against their enemies to do so.

Unbelievable. :grr:

[Berry Cool]

90. Grampy McSame tries to learn how to use the Internets.

"Hey, Cindy! Help me figure out how to use the typewriter with the TV on it!"

[SeattleGirl]

91. Bwahahaha!!!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

95. How do I get the dang words in the big box again?!

:rofl:

[bunny planet]

86. He doesn't expect to be a great communicator

and so far, he's really living up to that.

Does he have elves that go on the internets for him? What. A. Tool.

[Patsy Stone]

96. He is the exact reason

this guy makes money:

[Berry Cool]

99. I switched to the Home Run Derby.

Now I settle in for an evening of Keith-spotting. :rofl: Just kidding.

[CC]

100. According to Terry who called in

the middle of Countdown :mad: even though he knows better Rachael is expected back to do her radio show Wednesday. So hopefully that means Keith will be back to do his TV show Wednesday too.
