I guess some of the NBC guests are going twice. :-)

Damn, Colin Firth...why am I not on a plane right now??

Oh yeah, because they'd say "Who are you with?" and I would have no answer.

Oh well.

1. He's there but obviously he didn't hit the red carpet,

so either he went into the hotel another way or he's running late. Or, he could be in Baltimore 'cause the Yankees are there at Camden Yards. I watched the live stream on the web site and no Keith. Now that the dinner is underway it's gonna be hard to spot him. It's like trying to find Waldo.

I'll be back if anything develops.

2. He is there since he is

taking some credit for an Arrested Development movie according to Chris Cillizza. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/ His tweets have been fun to follow.

[RavensChick]

3. I just turned to MSNBC

and one of the reporters said that it's hot in the hotel right now and the celebs are sweating! Yikes! Also there isn't a lot of glitz and glam this time around because of the economy (wise move if you ask me). It's more like a nerdprom (according to a bunch of Tweets) than anything else.

Now I heard it's like a B-list party! Double yikes!

4. Chris has been calling it the nerdprom and wonder if they

haven't gotten the air checked out yet since it has been so cool in the area. No wonder The Fix called the pre-dinner gathering the sweatbox.



I think the nerdprom name came from Ann Marie Cox at the Daily Beast.

[RavensChick]

5. That's what everyone's saying at Twitter right now.

I've been reading the tweets and most of them are hilarious!

Nerdprom is a great fit for an event such as this.

6. I think it is the perfect name for it.

LOVE Michelle's pink dress.

Off to watch with the sick SO.

[RavensChick]

8. LOVED the President's speech!!!!

He's very, very funny! When the teleprompters went up I fell out laughing!

Wanda Sykes was off.the.hook!!!! She gave shout outs all over the place, including Keith!!!! I'm sure he's still laughing even as I write this!

Now, Pat Buchanan--lame, boring as hell, and had the nerve to say Wanda went over the top with Rush Limpballs. Please. That fat ass druggie is so out of touch with reality I'm surprised he hasn't cracked any mirrors yet when he looks in one.

Bob Franken is more realistic and funnier than that dinosaur Buchanan. He loved Obama's speech more than Wanda's.

Hope your SO is feeling better after seeing this. Laughter is certainly the best medicine!

[Patsy Stone]

7. Why don't we let Keith Olbermann waterboard Sean Hannity?

"I could break Sean Hannity just by giving him a middle seat in coach."

:rofl:

I saw Keith twice (once briefly during Obama's speech) and I didn't see Katy...

[RavensChick]

9. Hey, Pats!

That line was hilarious! I'm sure Keith is still cracking up at that one. No doubt he's gonna be all over this Monday.

I didn't see Keith at all during the speech (I was reading the comments on Twitter, so I was multi-tasking). No Katy? Hmm....makes me wonder. He could've gone stag but that's just a wild guess.

[Patsy Stone]

10. Believe me

I looked for her. :)

Wanda was a riot. The President cracked me up a few times too. The Michael Steele bit was priceless.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

11. I loved the Boehner lines!

I was laughing out loud.

I thought POTUS and Wanda were both fab. Rush brought those lines on himself. He deserved every one of them.

[RavensChick]

13. Yes, he did!

I can't wait for Keith's replay of the dinner on Monday. That'll be the best Countdown in ages!

[Patsy Stone]

15. And so much more.

I wish they had the camera focused on the FOX table during that whole bit.

"You guys can't hang out together! Who's idea was that? Nancy Pelosi's?" LOFL!

[RavensChick]

16. I read on Twitter

that no one was laughing at the Faux table so obviously putting the camera on them would've been a waste of tape.

[Berry Cool]

23. Here's the joke I predicted.

I was watching at the home of one of my sisters. When Obama was telling the joke to the effect of having introduced someone to the White House who tended to be a bit overenthusiastic, and had to be kept on a short leash lest he get carried away and go out of bounds and do something he shouldn't, I said out loud in my MST3K way: "But enough about Joe Biden."

Exactly a half second later, the President said: "But enough about Joe Biden."

I turned to my sister and said "See? I could write these speeches."

[RavensChick]

12. I believe you.

Guess we'll have to find out 'cause I know pictures of him will surface before Monday. We'll know then.

I loved it when Bob Franken said Steele is the lone black Repug! That statement alone is priceless!

[Patsy Stone]

14. "What's up with the half-white guy?"

LOL

"Whassup?" :rofl:

[RavensChick]

17. I'm still giggling on that one!

I recorded the whole thing so it's in my collection now.

[GigiMommy]

19. Katy's in Norman OK doing reports for the Weather Channel.

Saw her this morning live.

[Berry Cool]

21. You are kidding me, aren't you?

I mean, serious now...

[Berry Cool]

20. Perhaps Katy had to work.

Poor thing. Bwahahaha.

I did notice that Jason Bateman showed up with his lovely wife, so Keith must've gotten her in, too.

Keith looked extremely sunburned. Was yesterday's Yankees-Orioles game during the day? Just wondrin'. :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

18. Hey!!! Late to the party again...but

I saw it on CSPAN! It was GREAT!!! Loved the President's speech!:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: Loved Wanda's too!!!:loveya: :loveya: Oh, and Michelle looked wonderful!

[Berry Cool]

22. OMG, GGM, you are NOT KIDDING!!!!!

It's all on the Weather Channel site:

She's calling herself "The Tur-nado Chaser"!!!!

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Hmm...and the Weather Channel is a part of NBC Universal...no connection there between Keith and her getting this job...nope, none whatsoever... :rofl:
