KOEB Meeting: 06/07/10 -- When Elton Met Rush Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, all! Welcome to another week. The oil is still flowing, and I don't understand why anyone still books Liz Cheney anyhow.

[senseandsensibility]

1. Obama wants to know whose * to kick!

I hadn't heard him say that until now.

[Patsy Stone]

3. Let's let him start with Liz Cheney.

Just because. Then he can move on to her father, GWB, and the guy from BP. Him, I want to punch.

:hi:

[senseandsensibility]

5. I vote for Dick.

Did you see tweety actually had a segment on called "Cheney's Katrina." I thought that was pretty cutting edge for tweety.

[Patsy Stone]

12. I started to listen

but I had to leave work. He doesn't like Dick Cheeeneeey. On this we are in total agreement. Maybe I can find it on MSNBC's site.

[SharonRB]

2. I actually found myself agreeing with her on Sunday

Unfortunately, at the same time, I said "Where the hell were you when your daddy was in cahoots with the oil companies"?

I'm here, but watching POTUS give his speech at the Kalamazoo Central HS graduation on the 'span.

[Patsy Stone]

4. That's right!

They won the contest. Cool. The school down here which was in the running got some WH underling instead. :)

:hi:

[ralps]

6. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

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

[Patsy Stone]

8. Evening, ralps!

Yes, let's get some criminal charges going against BP. I'm with the majority here.

:hi:

[ralps]

13. For Sure!! & BP Stop doing PR & hire people to clean up the Gulf Coastline!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

7. I wasn't under the impression

that the cap they put on it was supposed to contain all of it. And, IIRC, they thought it wouldn't be a good seal because of the untimely death of the diamond band saw. Aw, Keith, I don't know if this is something to get all that mad about. If they can cap it better, let 'em do it.

[SharonRB]

9. I'm here completely now

POTUS is done at Kalamazoo.

[Patsy Stone]

10. Was it "Hail to the Chief"

that gave it away? :)

[SharonRB]

11. No, they didn't play it.

It was "God bless the United States of America..."

[Patsy Stone]

14. LOL

Which was my second guess. Too funny.

[rocktivity]

15. !!!!!--Did I just see a commerical for the Fox Out Of Business Network

complete with plugs from Beck AND Insanity???

:rofl:
rocktivity

[Patsy Stone]

16. Oh, thank heavens

they didn't play that here. I'm so sorry. :(

:)

[SharonRB]

17. I didn't see that either.

[rocktivity]

18. I'm in the NYC area

home of the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal.

x(

[Patsy Stone]

21. Look on the bright side...

even FOX knows Keith has better ratings. That's why they're advertising on his show.

[Patsy Stone]

19. Okay, I'll say it...

Philippe Cousteau is hot.

[SharonRB]

20. I agree.

[SharonRB]

22. LMAO -- KO just tweeted this:

"Will you all STOP about P Cousteau. Think of the oiled pelicans -- no, wait, don't do that either."

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

25. Hi, Keith!

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

23. "And the President's ass-kicking competition."

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

24. "Bend it like Beakham"?

LOL.

[Patsy Stone]

26. Liz, you lying sack of crap...

It is not "the last talking point," it's true. Admit it to yourself; your daddy is the devil.

[SharonRB]

27. She'll never admit it.

She'll never even see it that way.

[Patsy Stone]

30. I know.

The tweet you just forwarded was hilarious.

BrazenlyLiberal Ahem, @keitholbermann, we the tweeting masses respectfully request more appearances by Philippe "Hunka hunka burnin' love" Cousteau. kthxbai

[SharonRB]

32. I loved that one

There's a lot more where that came from.

[SharonRB]

31. The Cousteau comments on Twitter are a riot

Go do a search on Cousteau (don't use a #).

[Botany]

29. Liz Cheney got the job to help rebuild Iraq post the U.S. invasion ......

...... even though she knew nothing about infrastructure or Iraq.

Her family made billions on that war. .... She hired right wingers from the heritage institute .....
you sold ice cream? but you are a right winger .... fine you are now in charge of the fresh water
supply system in Iraq.

Cost plus no bid contracts ... no chance for problems there.


BTW Did I ever tell you that you are my Fave?

[Patsy Stone]

34. I can never hear it enough...

:hi:
Yes, she learned well to feed at the teat of nepotism, and to cover the family's tracks whenever possible. A good soldier indeed.

[Patsy Stone]

28. For a second, I thought Keith was actually going to produce some minutes

from that Task Force meeting. I was quivering with anticipation.

[SharonRB]

33. I'm now following

@pcousteau. That is all. Bet he got a lot of new followers tonight.

[rocktivity]

35. He thanked Helen Thomas for bowing out, which saved her

from being placed on today's worst persons list...

:headbang:
rocktivity

[Patsy Stone]

37. That was something, huh?

I'm surprised GD isn't screaming right now.

[SharonRB]

39. I'm glad she retired.

There's no excuse for what she said. Too many on DU are supporting her. Yeah, she was great when she grilled Bush, but this was insane.

Nancy was supposed to debate Brad Blakeman about it on Fox today, but she got bumped because of breaking news on the arrest in the Wikileak case.

[Patsy Stone]

43. Boo for the breaking news.

I can't feel sorry for her, and she's 89 already. Enough is enough. It's a shame this is how she had to go out, but what can you do?

[rocktivity]

41. Dupe, sorry n/t

.

[ralps]

36. Today's worst person in the world is State Senator Jake Knox of SC! for commenting

about a Governor candidate being a Raghead!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wow:

[Patsy Stone]

38. "No neck"

:)

[Patsy Stone]

40. Fred Thompson

probably found a comfy chair and took a nap during Rush's wedding.

[rocktivity]

42. I suppose there's some poetic justice in Elton John getting a mil from Rush

But still!

LOL--Clarence Thomas officiated over his previous marriage!

:rofl:
rocktivity

[Patsy Stone]

44. I would have like to have seen

Elton turn around and donate it to fighting Prop 8, in Rush's name. But no such luck. He's just gonna keep the money. :(

[Patsy Stone]

45. 'Night, all!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

46. Too bad I couldn't have been around tonight.

I could've agreed with you all about Philippe Cousteau's general hotness. And moaned over Liz Cheney's annoyance.

I agree what Helen Thomas said was beyond the pale. What depresses me is that she is paying for it with her career, while conservatives who say that and worse just "apologize to anyone I may have offended" and go right on with what they're doing.

As for Elton, I'm disgusted enough at him that I enjoyed seeing Musto rip him apart. Then again, I thought it telling that Keith still saw fit to mention how many years Rush's bride is younger than him, and then quickly say "not that there's anything wrong with that." Hmm, Keith, if there's nothing wrong with it, why mention it? Just sayin'. :-)

[Patsy Stone]

47. And I thought of you immediately

and hoped you were listening to that.

Yes, Philippe = quite delicious. All that, a social conscience, a big boat, and I'm sure he looks fantabulous in a wet suit. Just sayin'.

See you later.
