LOEB Meeting 9/23/09 Republicans Falling Asleep On the Job Edition

[Berry Cool]

:hi: Keith still out...Ward, I'm worried about the Beaver. :( Part of the reason is that Lawrence says he's "in for Keith Olbermann," not that "Keith Olbermann has the night off."

At least Sherrod Brown is here. That's MY Senator! :yourock:

[ralps]

1. Hi Berry Cool! Hi Everyone! Yay for Sherrod Brown!

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

[bleever]

2. Why do I have to look at Eric Cantor's simpering puss?

What a doofus.

[Berry Cool]

7. He's a sicko if he's telling people to rely on charity programs for health care.

You idiot, WHY DO YOU THINK THERE ARE JARS AT JUST ABOUT EVERY BAR, STORE, COFFEE SHOP, RESTAURANT, ETC., across the country asking for money to help pay for some poor person's medical expenses?

[CBHagman]

17. Here's the video.

I'm posting this from home (I only saw part of O'D's show at the gym), but as a public service I include this:

9. Why can't I punch Eric Cantor's simpering puss?

The man really needs a "tune up." Sell your home and everything and then move into
section 8 housing after that hope you can get some charity medical care and hey if the
tumors have metastasized and killed you family member by then ..... problem solved.


We are the only country that asks people to have "bake sales & fun runs" after a car accident
or heart disease.

Hey I want to beat Cantor just because he has kiwi shoe polish to color his hair.

[Berry Cool]

13. You said it, Bot.

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi Berry, bleev, and ralps!

I'm watching baseball; might catch the rerun later.

And I'm crossing my fingers that Keith's dad isn't bad off.

:hi:

[ralps]

4. Hi SeattleGirl!!!

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

[Berry Cool]

5. Hi ralps, SG and bleev!

:hi: Yeah, me too. But it doesn't look good. Keith hasn't blogged on his baseball blog since the 18th, which leads me to believe he's not playing baseball hooky this time.

[SeattleGirl]

6. Hi ralps! Did that kitteh always have a cigarette in it's mouth?

I'd never noticed it before.

[ralps]

14. I guess so! I got it from Patsy!

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

[SeattleGirl]

16. Funny that I just noticed it.

[SharonRB]

8. We're going back and forth at commercials

Tigers are finally kicking some butt (sorry, Berry). They've had a bad stretch -- I'm amazed we're still in first. Oops -- there goes another homer!

[SeattleGirl]

10. Hi Sharon!

My Mariners are beating Tampa Bay right now. They haven't had a stellar year, but it's been a damned sight better than last year! I like our new manager, the new GM, and the new players the M's have.

:hi:

P.S. Go Tigers!!

[Berry Cool]

11. Hey, it's OK, Sha-Sha.

:hi: You guys have had quite the dry spell. Somebody might as well have a good baseball team. (You too, SG)

[Botany]

12. I thought Obama did great @ the U.N. .... his closing comments

I believe that those imperfections are not a reason to walk away from this institution – they are a calling to redouble our efforts. The United Nations can either be a place
where we bicker about outdated grievances, or forge common ground; a place where we focus on what drives us apart, or what brings us together; a place where we
indulge tyranny, or a source of moral authority. In short, the United Nations can be an institution that is disconnected from what matters in the lives of our citizens, or
it can be indispensable in advancing the interests of the people we serve.

We have reached a pivotal moment. The United States stands ready to begin a new chapter of international cooperation – one that recognizes the rights and responsibilities
of all nations. With confidence in our cause, and with a commitment to our values, we call on all nations to join us in building the future that our people deserve. Thank you.

[Berry Cool]

15. "IN TENTS CONTROVERSY"..."TENT LIBYAN FREEZE OUT"...

The caption crew is working overtime. :rofl:

So what's the idiot gonna do, look for a KOA??? :shrug:

[Berry Cool]

18. I still hold Khadafi responsible for Pan Am 103 until given proof of otherwise.

And the convicted guy, too. I don't care how many DU'ers say he was innocent, he was railroaded, etc. Let them prove it. I still think it's an outrage that he was sent home on so-called "compassionate" grounds and received a hero's welcome and an embrace from Khadafi. I am sure the dirty hand of Big Oil was behind that.

[CBHagman]

23. I heard some of that speech by Qadhafi...

I swear I thought the interpreter was going to pass out. He kept gulping huge breaths and attempting to keep up. It was as though Qadhafi's brain was emptying a year's worth of random thoughts.

The word was that speeches were to be 15 minutes long, and Qadhafi went on for 95! :crazy:

[Botany]

19. Is it just me or was Khadafy's "look" not working for him @ the U.N. today?

He had the Eric Cantor shoe polish hair color ..... the black beanie ...... and the tan house dress.

Somebody needs to work on his colors. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

20. Do they use the same tin of Kiwi, I wonder?

Only their hairdressers know for sure.

[Botany]

21. Some people can't rock the curly hair & some have what it takes

just saying :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

22. Why would anyone listen to anything Sarah Palin has to say?

It still baffles me.

[Window]

24. Keith mentioned the other night his father was in the hospital. I'm wondering

if he is okay and/or maybe that's why he's out.
