[SharonRB]

Much nicer new suit and tie tonight!

[Patsy Stone]

1. Hey, Sharon. Yep. It's all good.

And more KKKarl! Goodie. :)
:loveya: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

2. I'm glad you're here

I was able to give John Conyers a kiss for you (and Bleever)! He stuck around and talked to people after the Town Hall before he got on his conference call with the other meetings -- Randi, Stephanie, Joe Wilson, et al. I managed to make my way up to him and thanked him for all he does and told him a few people on Democratic Underground asked me to give him a kiss for them. And then I kissed him on the cheek. He said I was so sweet.

[Patsy Stone]

6. So wonderful. Thanks so much.

If anyone deserves a kiss, it's him. How great that you had some time to talk with him! I hope you relished every moment. Mazel Tov! :toast:

For John Conyers: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[SharonRB]

9. Ooooh, here comes the 12-hour gap after the break!

See my post below in response to Rev.

[bleever]

40. I kissed John Conyers! (via Sharon)

Thanks, Sharon.

I'm actually really touched.

:hug:

[SharonRB]

42. My pleasure, Bleev.

[RevCheesehead]

3. Hi, Sharon and Patsy

and any who may join us. :hi:

I agree - the outfit is yummy. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

4. Hi, Rev

He must have fired whoever did his shopping for him last week.

[RevCheesehead]

5. Could be.

I'm looking at the tie, and thinking "Keith, it's so close to OUR tie - why not just go ahead and wear it?"

How cool that you met Conyers!

[SharonRB]

7. It was a great event

We had about 7 or 8 DUers there. Symbolman flew in from Hawaii to tape it -- I guess he raised money here on DU. Livvy said she sent him a few bucks.

My new crush is Jim Marcinkowski. He's one of the former CIA guys who was on the hearing on Friday. He's assistant city attorney for a neighboring town to mine. Conyers met him on Friday and invited him to come on Saturday. Even my husband mentioned how good looking he was on TV, but he was way hotter in person. And he was just wearing a t-shirt and cargo pants because he had come right from the airport when he got back from DC. He was at the Wilsons' house on Friday night, as he's good friends with them. I told him what a great interview Joe gave to KO on Friday night.

[RevCheesehead]

12. Good Vixen.

Keep on pluggin' Keith! :loveya:

Wow. You met real-life big-shots. I'm impressed.

[SharonRB]

20. Well, we can't let Clark be the only one, can we?

[noamnety]

13. Yep, Jim's pure class

I've added him to my list of good people.

[SharonRB]

17. Hi, LW!

It was great meeting you Saturday. Thanks again for driving.

I've added him to my hotties list.

[noamnety]

21. lol

"hotties list"

I prefer the term "good people." It's more like a list of people that need to be corrupted stat to be sure they stick around once the rapture comes respectable.

[Patsy Stone]

26. LOL

Nice strikouts. :)

Hi, fern.

[Patsy Stone]

8. Amazing that the whole thing could hinge on the bowls

the explosives were contained in. What an amazing CSI break!

[RevCheesehead]

16. heh..

They should have sticked to Tupperware or Rubbermaid. :)

Hi Pats - it's always a good night with you around.

[Patsy Stone]

23. Thanks!

It's lovely to see you as always. Where the hell is the bartender?

Torture Boy and Turdblossom after the break...

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

25. So sad.

I haven't been "in the back room" in ages. :(

This story keeps getting better and better, doesn't it? :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

33. Couldn't believe my good fortune

when even Bolton got into the mix. ow Andy Card and Torture Boy, too? joy.

[Clark2008]

10. Yeah! More Rove news!

A 12-hour gap!

Evenin' all! :hi:

I don't know how long I'll be here. I was up all night worshiping the porcelin god and missed work today because of it (and because I still had a fever - can't go infecting the co-workers).

I'm feeling better now - kept down broth and ice cream - but I'm still pretty wasted.

[SharonRB]

14. Sorry you're not feeling well, Clark.

[Clark2008]

22. I'm surprised I didn't get it sooner.

Everyone at the National Clark Meetup went home with this stomach virus and then both my boyfriend and his parents had it.

I'd say I fought it as hard as I could, but the minute that time of the month hit, my resistance lowered and, "BAM!" I got it.

[crispini]

11. Hi ladies! This outfit is YUM.

Almost looks like he could be wearing a morning suit. Tasty!

[RevCheesehead]

19. Hi, Crispi--

Where's your "tongue-hanging-out" smiley?

[crispini]

32. This one?

Wish Skinner would add it to DU. I seem to use it a lot! :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

34. Yes, indeedy.

I agree. I'd probably use it a lot, myself.

[gkhouston]

68. funny, you only seem to need it

here in the clubhouse. Wonder why that is... I haven't seen the show yet and popped in for a minute to see if it was worth propping my eyes open with toothpicks to catch the re-air. Sounds like I'd better grab some 'ffeine.

[WolverineDG]

15. Argh! The police were in plain clothes!!!

If I were going about my business & found I was being chased & yelled at by a bunch of men with guns, I'D RUN TOO!!

The guy thought he was going to be mugged..... :banghead: I wish they'd stop blaming that poor guy for getting shot.

Yes, it's a tough job, but dammit, do it right. :grr:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

18. See?

Perky Girl is just happier when she's around Keith. :)

[SharonRB]

24. Not to get off topic, but

is anyone here planning to go to the Impeach Bush rally on September 24 in DC?

[WolverineDG]

65. I thought it was an anti-war rally

A friend & I are planning to go. There's a peace group in her town that might be chartering a bus that Thursday to head to DC to march.

dg

[SharonRB]

73. It's an impeach Bush rally, but I think some other groups

are tacking onto it.

[WolverineDG]

74. do you have any other info?

:)

a friend & i are planning on going. what group is sponsoring the impeach bush rally?

dg

[SharonRB]

75. impeachbush.org

Check out their website. They should have more info posted next week.

[SharonRB]

76. I have to correct myself, WG

I just went out to the site and see that it is mainly an anti-war rally, but the impeachment contingent is tacking onto it, not the other way around. My apologies.

[WolverineDG]

78. No problem, Sharon!

I'll be happy to carry either sign. :)

dg

[RevCheesehead]

27. Tasers for everyone?

What if you zapped someone with a pacemaker? What if you set someone on fire?

Good Lord, this sounds like a disaster.

[SharonRB]

28. I see lots of new legislation coming to ban them

I can't imagine them in the hands of criminals.

[Patsy Stone]

30. Worse than being fired for being pregnant

working at a maternity store? It's a crazy world.

[RevCheesehead]

29. Hey, I can relate to the "late to church" story.

Although I've only gotten the Saturn up to 75. :)

[Clark2008]

31. LMAO! My kid just picked up a guitar and strummed me a little ditty!

It went:

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11.
I hope you like this song.
Because this is the end of this song."

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

69. when will he be

picking up his Grammy? (After he inserts a few four-letter words, be-atch?)

[Patsy Stone]

35. Andy Card = Fawn Hall?

Why the hell not. Who isn't involved in this? That list might be shorter to go through.

84 hour gap... That's a little time to shred stuff, ain't it?

[SharonRB]

38. Lag the Dog....LOL

[WolverineDG]

66. wonder if

andy snuck out documents in his undies too......

dg

[gkhouston]

70. OMG, every time they mention the Sandy Berger story

I think of the Capitol Steps' song about that... "I Stuffed My Pants All Night" to the tune of "I Could Have Danced All Night". :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

36. Craig...

:loveya:

[Clark2008]

39. Love that CC

Both the one on the KOEB and the one with Keith just now. :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

51. He was great.

Pointing out that no matter what stupidity they're going to try and use to sweep this away the CIA is investigating the White House for exposing a CIA agent. Wow.

Also loved that KO called Gibson on his slanted reporting.

[RevCheesehead]

37. Oooh - Keith's promoted Craig

to "our own chief counsel." :)

[Clark2008]

41. Yeah! Snark on the fact that Valerie Plame did not have the authority

to send her husband to Niger!

:applause: for Keith! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

43. Great segment

But then they usually are when Craig is on. He's pretty snarky himself.

[RevCheesehead]

44. And Craig adds:

"Nothing changes the fact that the CIA launched an investigation into the White House regarding the exposing of one of its operatives, irregardless of who send Wilson overseas."

This is getting deep! :freak:

[Clark2008]

46. Pulling on the hip boots...

[Patsy Stone]

52. I'm making popcorn. n/t

[crispini]

45. Oh yeah! Go KO! (nt)

[Clark2008]

47. Valerie Wilson was in charge of the CIA in 2002?

I did not know that!


:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

48. Nice Snark -

Where's Will Hung when you need him? :7

[SharonRB]

49. And when Kevin and Britney inevitably separate...

[RevCheesehead]

50. Slam on O'Reilley!

"so he just made it up, just like the rest of the stuff on his show."

[Clark2008]

53. Awww.... Keefie!

Just by making yourself the "Worst Person in the World" for assuming the London police knew what they were doing, you have proven, again, that you are, indeed, one of the "Best People in the World!:

:hug:

(But, you're correct. The media should never just automatically trust official statements.)

[RevCheesehead]

54. I felt the same way

To Keith: One of the best "worst" people ever! :toast:

[Berry Cool]

79. And once again, I have to take my hat off to Keith

for being his own worst critic, harder on himself than anyone else could possibly be on him.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: to Keith for having personal integrity...so seldom seen anywhere in this world.

[Patsy Stone]

59. All true, Clark. Hi! n/t

[Clark2008]

67. Hi Patsy!

:hi:

[crispini]

55. ya know, I can think of about 50 things to give the media

the "worst person of the world" award for.... but believing the London cops wasn't one of 'em.

Believing the Bush administration back before the Iraq invasion? YES.
Ignoring the Plame story until, oh, NOW? YES.

And on and and on....

[Muffstser]

56. Just got home! LOOOOOVE that suit, tie and shirt combo.

I've had one heck of a day. I needed this! :)

[Greylyn58]

57. Good on you Keith

I admire you for saying what you did. Today's MSM doesn't research their stories before they air them--it's just accepted at face value.

This is why I love you!!!! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Muffstser]

60. And ya know what?

I'm willing to bet that he's the only newsperson with the guts to admit that.

[Muffstser]

61. They want it in the Olympics!?!

YIKES!!! (That look at the end was priceless.)

[Gogi]

64. Hey, beach volleyball is in the Olympics!

If that and synchronized swimming can be in the Olympics so can this. To paraphrase something I once read: "You call those sports, nobody dies."

[Patsy Stone]

58. WTF? Are these guys trying out for Jackass?

Swoopers. Oy.

[noamnety]

62. hehehe

sky diving is kinda fun. :)

although I prefer to open the chute closer to the top of the fall than the bottom.

[Patsy Stone]

77. Then no Swoop for you! :) n/t

[RevCheesehead]

63. See ya later, taters.

:hi: Keep your knees loose, and your floaties looser. :loveya:

[gkhouston]

71. hokay, so maybe I should sleep tonight

and watch the tape tomorrow, because the first time I read this I translated it as "keep your knees loose and your pasties looser". :blush:

[crispini]

72. It's so nice to know

that we're all degenerates around here, mwahahaha!
