[Patsy Stone]

3. You betcha!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

70. Celebrity photo!

Damn, he looks good!

[Botany]

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

[bleever]

6. Dude, some guy on Stephie's show stole your "New York Community"

observation about Palin!

:rofl:

Now, let's get ready to rock.

[Botany]

9. Bunch of people picked that up others:

I don't want to second guest the good guys.

I get my information from reading books and other mediums.

Negotiations have to do w/ pre conditions and sanctions.

Like here .... ah right here ..... New York Community.

I think she is a crack head or a tweaker .... because her answers were
100% Gibberish.

[Berry Cool]

13. And don't forget, tax cuts must accompany both tax reductions and tax relief

to help the US Americans and, uh, the Iraq, such as.

[Patsy Stone]

14. Someone in a thread I wish I could find

had a picture of Putin rising over the Earth.

[bleever]

[Patsy Stone]

25. Hi!

Thank you very much!

How funny was that? LOL!

[bleever]

17. Her teeth are too good for a meth user,

if those ARE her teeth.

[Berry Cool]

7. And you're ours, too, Bot.

:loveya: Thanks for the, um, beaver.

[Patsy Stone]

5. Rudy's working to help corporations

get a piece of the pie.

What a tooly tool.

[Berry Cool]

8. Right now, what they have to be concerned about is saving their asses.

If his firm can help them do that, well, that's what you'd expect them to be able to do.

[Patsy Stone]

10. I like Robert Gibbs a lot.

If Rudy has chosen this as his work's life, that's his problem, but if he brings it into the McCain campaign and it looks bad, that's McCain's problem. More bad campaign management.

[Berry Cool]

15. That's for sure.

Why do I get the feeling Rudy is just going to make things even worse?

[WolverineDG]

11. Here I am all sad

because there won't be an empty podium to snark at. :cry:

:hi:

dg

[Berry Cool]

18. I keep picturing that Swiffer commercial that's staged to look like a political debate

where the female candidate says "My opponent does not run a clean campaign...There's a trail of DIRT leading RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR."

And they show her opponent, and it's a mop.

[Patsy Stone]

35. Cheer up, little buckaroo!

Obama will still kick his ass. I hope hope Obama has a zinger or two up his sleeve.

:hi: Happy Friday! :toast:

[WolverineDG]

42. I saw McCain's "Original Maverick" ad & went

"Um, no, that would be Sam Maverick, genius."

And how do I know this? I'm tangentially related to the wonderful Maverick family. Most notable in recent years was Maury Maverick,Jr. who took conscientious objector cases during 'Nam because he got sick & tired of passing buses full of black, hispanic, & poor white draftees. :patriot:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

51. But, they're around the same age, so the mixup is understandable.

:)

Good for Maury! :thumbsup: :patriot:

[bleever]

39. It will be the next closest thing.

:hi:

[ralps]

12. Hi bleever, Hi everyone!

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

[WolverineDG]

16. Oh, is there a debate tonight???

I saw an ad on the Wall Street Journal site that said McCain had won, so I thought I'd missed it.... :crazy:

dg

[Berry Cool]

24. Keith was just explaining that story to us.

How he managed to win before he even got there.

Yeah, Rachel's here! Is this RMOS?? She doesn't look like an otter, really.

[Janice325]

19. Just a quick drive by during the commercial to say "hi, ya'll!"

Hoo boy. Keith live now, then the debate, then more Keith live with Joe Biden.
History is in the making tonight, doncha know!!!!:bounce::applause::thumbsup:
GOBAMA!!!!

[Berry Cool]

29. Hey Janice!!

Did you enjoy your RMOS? Or Seal Shot, or whatever? :hi:

[Berry Cool]

30. And David Letterman remarks on Keith's enormous head.

Before, it was his enormous body. I guess before we know it, there'll be a Keith balloon in the Macy's Parade.

[Berry Cool]

32. A sea otter headband?????

:cry: :cry: :cry: Keith's KOOS isn't safe! Sarah Palin's buddies will turn his enormous KOOS into a headband!!!!! (Which won't fit anyway because it will be too big for her!!!!)

[Janice325]

52. Ummm, not sure if I know what you're referring to, BerryBush.

RMOS? Seal Shot? Huh?????
I'll check back later. The 'puter is in one room, the television where I'm watching the debate is in another.
Hope Obama whups ole white haired dude's posterior!!!!

[Berry Cool]

71. Explanation: It's a little KOEB inside baseball, as Keith himself might say.

A while back, I made a post saying I love when the camera shows the back of Keith's head because his hair is still black back there and it's so thick and smooth and shiny it reminds me of an otter pelt, and it turns me on.

As a result, these views of Keith became known to the KOEB as Keith Olbermann Otter Shots, or KOOS. I began expressing delight whenever a guest on Countdown, often through appearing on "the big screen" so Keith faced it when talking but sometimes in face-to-face interviews with a camera angle from Keith's rear, provided us with KOOS.

Last night, by appearing at Keith's desk as a guest, Rachel ended up being shot from her rear at times, meaning we got to see the back of her head. I was joking that this might qualify as RMOS (Rachel Maddow Otter Shot), but because her hair isn't as short as Keith's, the back of her head doesn't really look like an otter pelt. Haven't made up my mind what it does look like, but I suggested maybe a seal. I don't think that necessarily works though, either. Help me out here! :-)

[Patsy Stone]

31. Hi, Janice!

GOBAMA indeed! :bounce:

:hi: Happy Debate Night!

[Patsy Stone]

20. "My DU" is all funky for me.

Anyone else? The Inbox and Journal sections and headers are gone, and my most recent PMs don't appear.

[bleever]

37. I'm normal.

In that respect.

[Patsy Stone]

40. Now, it's back.

That's better.

Hey! I see greying temples on Howard. Much better than the pink rinse, if you ask me.

[GigiMommy]

26. Hi Everybody!!!

:hi: :bounce: Cassie and I are here but we're eating dinner right now (SUSHI!). Will check in for the debates.

[Patsy Stone]

27. Yummy!

:hi:, you two!

[Berry Cool]

33. I love how The Great Putinhead rises over Alaska

and brings toys to all the good children! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

34. Can you smell it?

[Berry Cool]

36. That is too funny

and a little scary too!

Let me just say: I never had a trip to Europe handed to me by my family, either. And no, I don't have a passport yet. Haven't been to Europe. But within the next few years, if I can possibly humanly do it...I will start doing it. I can claim finances as an excuse, but not lack of curiosity.

[WolverineDG]

49. I guess I'm an elite then

one who drives a 10 year old car that's held together with bubble gum & duct tape, but elite nonetheless because I have a passport & have been to Europe (and Africa & Australia)....all on my own dime, btw.

[Patsy Stone]

38. Obama's in the HOUSE!!!

:bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

41. Hi everyone! Just got home.

I'm feeling a little nervous about the debate, not because I don't think Obama can handle it, but because of the forthcoming spin.

Oh well, strapped in and ready to go!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

43. CNN has their bio-rhythm focus group going

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

44. Bio-rythm focus group?

:spray:

[Patsy Stone]

45. They're all wired to monitors

Not kidding. :eyes:

[SeattleGirl]

54. Oy.

:eyes:

[Berry Cool]

46. Maybe it's a good kind of nervous?

Like when you go into something just keyed up enough to deliver your best performance?

[Patsy Stone]

47. Well, we've gone to yellow x's now.

:scared:

[Berry Cool]

50. Defcon level in three...two...one...

[SeattleGirl]

55. Hi Berry!

I hope so!

[Patsy Stone]

48. Alright, I don't know if I have the patience

to deal with DU on a debate night. I don't like when posts stop appearing in My DU. I can't keep track of where I've been and what I said where.

[Berry Cool]

53. Aw, hang in there.

We need you back for Post-Debate Keith!

'Bye for now! Have fun! I'm just going to watch, not post...until Keith comes back on!

[bleever]

56. Stay alive,

no matter what occurs.

[Patsy Stone]

63. Jim Lehrer is like a therapist

"Talk to each other."
"Say it directly to him."

[SeattleGirl]

57. Oh jeez. Grampy just used the Kennedy card!

Last I heard, Teddy was on his way back home to watch the debate. It was probably a reaction to a change in his chemo meds.

[Janice325]

58. I just had to come back here to say how f**king pissed off

I am that Grampy "used the Kennedy card!!"
:argh:
PS I wish Teddy well and am sending good vibes his way.
Jeez, gramps, fall off your step stool wontcha!!
Stammer, stammer,stammer, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR!!! (pants on fire)
Jeez. Answer the questions, or can't you????
Crap, they just showed the candidates from the back and old dude doesn't have a step stool.
Oh, well.

[WolverineDG]

59. His dentures are whistling nt

[WolverineDG]

60. There goes the Montana vote.....

did McCain give us a shout-out with the Bay-airs in Montana? :scared:

dg

[Janice325]

61. Oh, god. He just laughed/snorted like Shrub, also used the term

"Miss Congeniality."
He's on another planet. I'm referring to McCain, of course.

[SeattleGirl]

62. Notice how Grampy is smiling? I think he's either gonna start

yelling or laughing maniacally.

[SeattleGirl]

64. LOL. MrSG just said, "God, he (Grampy) is saying the same

thing OVER AND OVER!! Why doesn't he just say 'Lipstick' 'Pig' 'Lipstick' 'Pig'. :rofl:

[Janice325]

65. I am stressing myself out listening to him repeating the same things

over and over, just going in circles.......without really saying anything....except LIES!!!! My blood pressure is going up.
PS I think Obama is doing fantastically.

[SeattleGirl]

67. Same here.

Every time Grampy speaks, I start shadow boxing him on the TV.

[bleever]

66. Grampy's tie is making me HYPMOTIZED!!

It's HYPNO-MATIC!

[Patsy Stone]

69. Moire patterns

very hypmotizing. Maybe it's like in They Live? Some sort of secret message or frequency only Freepers can hear?

All his base are belong to that tie.

[Janice325]

68. OUCH!

Obama just brought up the "Bomb Iran" song.
Cha-ching, badda-bing!
Snap!
