[SharonRB]

8. Yay!

Welcome home, Wolvie.

[Berry Cool]

10. Hurray!!!!

:bounce: Sure hope so!

Now we have to send a sternly worded letter to Keith about the gray suit.

[Berry Cool]

16. Eugene Robinson: "The air went out of this controversy."

:rofl: If we see more of him now that Milbank is gone, that will be a great thing.

[SeattleGirl]

Yay!!!!

Glad to hear that, Wolvie! :hi: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

15. Such good news!

:bounce:

Have some dinner:

[bleever]

14. Tires are supposed to be inflated?

Doesn't Gramps mean that we should keep them properly inflated?

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

17. Hi bleev!

Gramps is still driving the Flintstone Mobile! :rofl:

[bleever]

20. I can imagine McCain as he'd appear in the Flintstones.

He could be a guest star, like Stony Curtis.

[SeattleGirl]

21. Hehehehe!

[Patsy Stone]

31. I could see him

made of slate or maybe little lumpy bundles of rocks.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

36. Especially in his cheeks n/t

[Patsy Stone]

37. Yes.

:)

[bleever]

44. He'd definitely look rocky. What would his name be?

John McCave? John McCairn?

[Patsy Stone]

47. John McGraven?

John McGranite? John McVein?

p.s. John McCave? :rofl:

[SharonRB]

48. How about

John McCrock?

[SeattleGirl]

49. Or John MacRock

[Patsy Stone]

52. LOL

A truer name you could not find. :)

[Berry Cool]

19. Hi bleev!

:hi: McGramps' new informative message: "Inflate your tires. They roll much better that way than with no air in them at all."

[ralps]

18. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone! Crook & I are doing good, How are you all doing?

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

[SeattleGirl]

22. Hi ralps!!

:hi:

[ralps]

26. Hi SeattleGirl!!!

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

[Berry Cool]

Hi ralps!

:hi: While everyone else plugs polls and asks why Obama can't close the deal, Keith talks electoral college.

What I want to know is, why is Ohio still considered a toss-up?

[ralps]

32. Hi BerryBush, & Why is Wisconsin Not an Obama state???

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

[Patsy Stone]

29. Pretty darn well

:hi:

[SharonRB]

23. No, no, no, no, no, Keith

Michigan is NOT likely go to for McCain. No way, no how.

[SharonRB]

24. Whew, much better, Chuck

Michigan will go for Obama!

[Berry Cool]

25. McSame will not sweep Ohio, Virginia and Colorado.

Mark my words. It won't happen.

[Patsy Stone]

39. I hope you're right.

:scared:

[SharonRB]

27. McCain can't even tell when he's being insulted

Go, Paris. Never thought I'd actually approve of anything she'd do, but I approve her message.

[SeattleGirl]

28. Exactly! McCain is an idiot!

And I approve Paris's message too!

[Berry Cool]

34. I guess the watchword is "never say never."

Paris turned out to be both talented and useful in this case...and funny.

[Berry Cool]

38. Oy.

I love Gerald Posner's contributions, and his intense eyes, and the way he gives us KOOS :loveya: , but someone has got to sit that boy down and tell him to not wear stripes and graph-paper checks together.

Word to Gerald: Take a page from the paper-doll book of this guy.

[Patsy Stone]

40. I've watched it a few times since last night

and I think it gets better every time. Go, Paris! :thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

30. This anthrax story about Ivins being guilty just stinks to high heaven!

[Patsy Stone]

35. It really does.

Just the haste with which they're sweeping it all under the rug.

:hi:

[bleever]

33. Yeah, they found a way to eliminate Ivins as a suspect, too.

:scared:

[Berry Cool]

41. Whenever I think about how the media scared us with that anthrax story

right after 9/11, I get so angry. In those days when none of us were sure what the hell could happen next, it was easy to believe anything, and get terrified over the slightest bit of white powder on anything.

[Berry Cool]

42. Oh no, it's another Double Kitty?!?!?

:scared: Why are there all these two-faced cats all of a sudden? And is Stephanie Miller going to do a creepy imitation of this one too???

[ralps]

43. Awww Another 2 faced kitty!!

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=aaa_1217972756

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

[Berry Cool]

45. And this one was born in Ohio!

I still think this is freaky. What are we doing to our environment? Are there as many two-faced cats being born as it seems or is it just that they're getting more publicity now so it seems like more?

[Berry Cool]

46. And the woman who threw a frozen lasagna at her husband was from...FLORIDA!!!!!!!

:rofl: I can only imagine what Bot would say about this!!!!!

"Stouffer?? I hardly KNOW 'er!!!!!!" :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

50. There was that certain Florida flair to that story.

:)

[WolverineDG]

51. I'm still here

just trying to eat, blog, & get reacquainted w/the furkids all at the same time. :)

dg

[Patsy Stone]

53. And I think we're pretty happy you are.

:hug:

[Berry Cool]

54. Just glad to have you here at all, Wolfie.

Well, there you go. When Keith is unhappy with how Democrats behave, he says so.

[WolverineDG]

55. strangely enough, me too

:hug:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

56. It's better than the alternative

:)

[Berry Cool]

58. LOL! Keith has answered my request with the Princess!

:rofl: He also agrees with me that Paris can really act!

[SeattleGirl]

57. "Whatever"

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

60. The Cryptkeeper...too funny.

The Princess's radio listeners don't seem to care, but at work we thought it was pretty funny.

[Patsy Stone]

The Celebrity Princess

I think she's going to be around a lot more. :)

[bleever]

59. Maybe McCain can't see TV, like the pygmies

from the South American rain forest who could see photographs as representations or depictions, just as squares of paper with colors on them.

[Berry Cool]

64. This is so weird. Is MSNBC separating the shows now with commercials?

They did when Hardball ended, too. Keith signed off and there were several minutes of the show to go, I thought. Turned out not...they were ads.

Oh well, switching now to Larry King and Steph.

[Patsy Stone]

66. Maybe they've decided not to interrupt the flow?

It is more convenient having a nice long time between shows.

[Patsy Stone]

67. This CEO of Jet Blue is so damn happy

about charging you $7 for a pillow and a blanket. :mad:

[Berry Cool]

70. Funniest thing is that when they showed the email graphic from the one woman

who said she didn't care about things like pillows, blankets and snacks on a plane and only cared about safety, the graphic said "snakes" instead of "snacks" (which is how Larry read it).

Snakes on a plane!!!! :scared:

Dan Abrams has got to capture THAT graphic for his show.

Oh good: Steph and Lisa Douglas will get to grill this guy!

[SharonRB]

69. Very strange

I noticed he finished early and there was a commercial.

[bleever]

61. Show ends early?

Wassup with that?

[Patsy Stone]

63. Hmmm...

:shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

62. Did Keith end the show early?

It was 5:56 pm my time when he signed off.

[Graybeard]

65. Very strange. Four minutes early.

?????????:shrug:

[Berry Cool]

68. Hardball ended with commercials tonight too.

When Countdown came on I was shocked and had to hit my record button right away.

I don't know, maybe MSNBC is trying something new. Normally they don't separate the shows with ads.

[Graybeard]

71. I'm glad MSNBC is pulling in ad revenue, but....

....that's four minutes less of Keith.:(
