[RevCheesehead]

:toast::toast::toast:

[bleever]

1. Bring it, Michelle!

Hi, Cheeseness!

:toast:

[RevCheesehead]

2. Hi bleev!!

I thought of you as I watched "Pirates of the Caribbean" today. Arr. ;)

:toast:

[SeattleGirl]

3. Fist bump!

[RevCheesehead]

4. I love this woman!!!

Michelle! :loveya::loveya::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

5. Me too!

Beautiful, intelligent, sense of humor, loving, caring, compassionate! :loveya:

[bleever]

7. She's baracking this speech.

You go, girl!

[SeattleGirl]

10. Isn't she though!

:bounce: :bounce:

[CC]

6. Finally catch up on tonights thread

in between watching the convention (flipping between MSNBC and C-Span) to find what sounds like good news for the Rev. Course I'm trying to figure out why anyone would even think the people of the church might not want her to stay. If they actually were stupid enough to not want her then she is too damn smart for them. :hug:s Rev. Hoping this means you do get to stay and with a bit more clout.


Finally get caught up on home stuff and lose my internet. Got it fixed today but doubt I ever get caught up on threads from vacation and since. My poor mom would probably like me to scream elsewhere than in her ear. Then again she calls me to scream when she needs too.

[RevCheesehead]

8. CC!

It's good to see you!! :hug:

You can scream here as loud as you want. :)

[CC]

13. We've been bitching about repukes and supposed Clinton

supporters that are really repukes...oh and a lot of bitching about the media in general. Then again this is the mom that was really really hoping I didn't hear about the Edwards stuff while on vacation.

She was probably as much a Clinton supporter as a person could be but she is voting for Obama and as far as she is concerned anyone that would vote for McSame over Obama because Hillary lost was never going to vote Dem to start with.

[Berry Cool]

9. Good to see ya, Ferrettessa!

:hi: Michelle is really bringing it!

My DU is running REALLLLLY slooooow tonight.

[RevCheesehead]

11. I'm sure we're straining the servers.

This is my favorite time here on DU. :)

[Berry Cool]

28. I think Michelle is breaking DU!

[Berry Cool]

Keith: "Case. Closed."

You said it all, Keith.

[RevCheesehead]

19. And now, after the girls stole the show....

Keith calls himself "borderline sychophantic." :D

[CC]

15. Hi Berry. I think it is DU.

Nothing else seems to be stuttering.

[SeattleGirl]

12. Could you imagine Cindy McSame giving such a speech?

No freakin' way!

[RevCheesehead]

14. Good Lord, no!

"My Johnny loved this country so much, he let himself get captured and held as a POW... and tonight, I'm here to tell you that I, too, am a prisoner - - a prisoner of love."

[Berry Cool]

17. LOL!

"Hi Daddy!" This is just TOO CUTE!!

Even Keith is laughing.

[CC]

21. What I want to know about Cindy McCain (oh please

let her really be a Cynthia)is who is she going to Georgia (the country) with, why on earth would anyone let her go there and who the hell is paying her way.

I also want her to tell her life story at the RNC convention. What was it like to grow up treated as the only child of a millionaire? Why does she shut out her half siblings? How does she feel knowing she broke up a marriage? Why doesn't she trust her husband with the knowledge of her income? Why doesn't she trust her husband enough to share their wealth after all this time? If he can't keep track or be trusted with the household and family budget why on earth should we trust him with our money and a countries budget?

That is just to start.

[SeattleGirl]

16. OMG! She brought the girls out!!

Okay, now I'm really crying!

That was one hell of a speech she gave, and now here's the girls AND Barack!!!!

[Berry Cool]

20. Too. Cute. For. Words.

"I'm beginning to sound bordeline sycophantic on this, so I'll stop--you start" says Keith to Tweety.

He's sold. :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

18. This is so damned cute!!!

Those girls are precious! :loveya::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

22. They are!

It will be so nice to have little ones running around the White House again! :loveya: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

24. You know Sasha could be a loose cannon....

She's gonna say exactly what she thinks! :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

23. Incoming news...report is that those kids weren't really Obama's...

...he decided his real kids weren't cute enough, so he recruited cuter ones to stand in.

Um, no, wait, this isn't the Olympics. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

26. Oh Berry!

:rofl:

[CC]

30. The rumor around here is that he fathered

two black children. Go figure.


They are way cute and so well behaved with just enough natural kidness (so I made up a word for it) to make them even cuter and give the best testament to their upbringing.

[Berry Cool]

34. Even Harold Ford couldn't find fault with that.

Wow. Now he's trying to curry Keith with football metaphors.

[Patsy Stone]

25. Send more tissues!

:loveya: :toast:

[RevCheesehead]

29. Patsy, dahling!

It's so good to see you back where you belong! :toast: :hug:

[Berry Cool]

38. Find her an empty lap, fellas

Patsy will never go away again!

[Patsy Stone]

41. Thanks, Rev

It's good to be back. :toast:

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

57. Did the kitties miss you?

Or did they do the pretend aloofness thing?

[RevCheesehead]

27. somebody fill me in, please...

1. Did Teddy show up? Did he speak?
2. What did the Hilbots do?
3. Did Keith haul off and hit Tweety?

[CC]

32. ....

1. YES!!! and there is a you tube of it somewhere.
2. Nothing
3. Not yet but there is still hope.


Edit- I can no longer type, not that I was ever any good at it before.

[Botany]

31. I loves me some Michelle

She wrote that speech too.

I kept it together until "Hello Daddy, what city are you in?"

Now I know why Barack smiles ..... First Lady .... First in Family .... First in America
and First in bow wow chicka chicka wow

[bunny planet]

33. OMG Michelle just knocked that one out of the park.

I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!
Amazing. I'm still crying. She's a natural.
Just magnificent 'pitch perfect' speech as Keith just said.
I'm verklempt.

[Botany]

35. Did I ever tell all of you that you are my Fav?

To the right wing .... how is that for family values?



"HI Geraldo Family!"

[Berry Cool]

36. Hi again Pats and hi Bun-Bun!!!

:hi: :hi: I figured you guys would be having a chicken!!

[Berry Cool]

37. "This is not a man who is intimidated by a strong woman."

If only there were more like him!

Ah, but there must be...

[Botany]

39. Now where would be such a man.

[Berry Cool]

44. Beats me.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

40. Here comes the panel, which means here comes Rachel!

Let's figure out how Pat is going to spin this! And how she's going to hand his ass to him!

[Berry Cool]

43. Oh, his thing is "I thought it was effective, but I don't know how effective it was

against all those terrible things the Republicans have been saying about her."

Eat it, Pat.

[SeattleGirl]

47. I loved Tweety's comback to Pat:

This isn't the Christian Democratic Convention, Pat....thanks to the Constitution and Jefferson.

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

58. I'm glad you caught that.

I'm wondering if Tweety's had some kind of spiritual reawakening. He's spending more time complimenting people, telling them how much he appreciates them, etc. Maybe the Tim Russert thing, plus his bout with pneumonia has made a new bird out of him.

[Patsy Stone]

42. Kvelling

but going to bed to sleep and weep for joy in my pillow. See you here tomorrow!

[Berry Cool]

45. See ya, Pats!

:hi: NOW Pat is saying she never brought up Christianity! And that her mentioning Hillary got such a huge reception because Hillary STILL has so many supporters!!!! :puke:

WOO HOO! :applause: Tweety just laid the SMACKDOWN on Pat! "This isn't the CHRISTIAN Democrat convention, Pat. This isn't Rick Warren's church. Thank goodness there isn't a religious test for being president." WOOOOOO HOOOOOO! You go Tweety!!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

49. That was great!

The little tribute film for Teddy was directed by Ken Burns.

What do you think he'll begin filming his mini-series about the KOEB?

[Berry Cool]

51. Oh, he'll film it, all right.

But he'll interview Keith for it.

"When I found out about these women who called themselves the KOEB, all I could think of was getting myself the best security possible..."

[Botany]

46. Don't Cry For Me Patsy

[Patsy Stone]

48. Tears on my pillow

[Berry Cool]

50. And, while Ken Burns is talking, Keith works in a shameless plug for himself!!!!

Turns out Ken is working on a sequel to his "Baseball" documentary series called "The Tenth Inning," which will feature commentary by some guy on MSNBC at 8 o'clock at night. :rofl: as Keith rolls his eyes skyward and blushes...

I gotta hand it to the guy. He started out his relationship to Ken Burns and "Baseball" by angrily documenting all the many factual errors he claimed the series contained, which got him called a pain in the ass by some people--but of course, he's not a PITA, he's just a guy who loves his sport and wants to see the facts presented. Now he's best buds with the documentarian and going to appear in his sequel to the same documentary series he once criticized so severely. :rofl: Too much.

[Berry Cool]

52. Howard Fineman thinks Michelle still can't sell to the blue-collar voters.

What bullshit.

Goes on about that stupid machinist president Bill Buffenbarger..."A machinist president SHOULD be named 'Bill Buffenbarger'"...oh please. The idiot who says Obama can't sell himself to "my people."

So now Tweety is saying she has to stick to suburbia while leaving the "bowling alleys of Pennsylvania" to Biden. Sheesh.

[Berry Cool]

53. Oh, um, Tweety.

Not all of us dumped our long, hard-to-spell-and-pronounce names for "Ellis Island names" when we came to America.

[Berry Cool]

56. Well, looks like MSNBC is going to start rerunning the speeches

given that the show's over, so there may not be much more new that is said tonight.

I think I will sign off and just watch the rest for now.

See you all tomorrow night!

[SeattleGirl]

55. Let me tell you something about the Machinists union.

When McSame came to Washington a few months back, specifically to Everett, about 35 miles north of Seattle, the union workers were out IN FORCE, lining the streets, TO PROTEST HIM.

I think Buffenbarger is the one who is out of touch with the union workers.

[RevCheesehead]

54. Jeebus! DU is chug, chug, chugging along!

I couldn't get back in here like forever!

Oooh - here's Teddy! :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

59. So now you got to see him.

Oh, and Buffenbarger--Tom--he's the idiot who unleashed the crap before introducing Hillary about Obama being the candidate of the latte-sipping, Birkenstock-wearing trust fund babies. :puke:

[RevCheesehead]

60. Teddy was terrific.

It felt like he was trying to summon up all the hope of the past 48 years, and compel us to move ahead.

I should be here tomorrow for the whole show. See ya later! :hi:

[Berry Cool]

61. Well, Rachel just pissed me off, agreeing with Pat that "They wasted the first night

because after Pelosi left, they didn't attack McCain all night."

So what if the Repugs attack Obama every night? They wanted this night to be about Obama and the positive. Nothing wrong with that. It was NOT a waste. They'll start attacking Grampy tomorrow. And they'll keep at it with sledgehammers. Just you watch.

:scared: It was horrible hearing her AGREE WITH HIM on ANYTHING.

But...but...I did get one reward. As Tweety and Keith signed off at 1 AM (before the rerun of Michelle's speech), there was one last view of the crowd outside and...honest to God...one of them was wearing a KEITH T-SHIRT that looked like the fans.

Damn!!!!!!
