Love ya, Ms. Thomas!

[malaise]

17. A baby pink silk jacket

she's at the head table. Can't wait to see Ws eye connection with Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame. That's why I'm watching. If I were either of them I would eat or drink though.

[realFedUp]

[hlthe2b]

23. Eww, was that Scalia that just came in?

I'm streaming on little Real Player viewer--hard to tell.

Edited to reflect Scalia, not Scalito. They really have morphed...

[coffeenap]

40. Bush not even mentioned by name--just husband of last year's after

dinner speaker. LOL.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. Fat Tony just arrived. Booooo!

[Greeby]

34. Bleh, rerun of the horse milking

:eyes:

[annabanana]

35. they're doing clips from last year idiot boys schtick

[Jane Austin]

36. Listening to the perfect playing of the military marches and the Star

Spangled Banner, and seeing the pertect way the colors were presented, I almost remembered what it used to feel like to be so proud to be an American.

I will resent - - to my dying day - - the disgrace these Republican criminals have brought on the United States of America.

[fooj]

I feel your pain.......

Peace.

[Jane Austin]

101. Thanks, fooj. n/t

[peacetalksforall]

69. I'm with you - pride, hope, and now a painful destruction (for me)

requiring decades of repair if we ever get to that point.

[PennyK]

38. Now they're gonna show blasts from the past

During the eating part of the evening, they're gonna show clips of past highlights. First Pickles' big hit of last year...I hope they show that hilarious Clinton film..the one where he had nothing to do.

[PennyK]

59. Was that Ed Helms?

[PennyK]

62. Coming up next

Clinton's very first time speaking to the dinner.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

Maybe he's just medicated, but he looks three sheets to me.

[Greeby]

47. Woohoo, back to Clinton in 2000

:bounce:

[DearAbby]

48. How orginal ...:::rolls eyes:::

Let's just show clips from last year, so we don't have to waste time trying to show how witty we are...doh!

The horse milking one was good...:crazy:

[jane_pippin]

49. C-span is doing that because right now everybody's eating

and it's boring to watch. They have to fill time with something. :)

[annabanana]

50. sigh... I miss Bill so much

[malaise]

56. He had class

Have you seen Rove yet or is he hiding from Fitz?

[Greeby]

51. lol, they're playing The Last Days

sigh :)

[onehandle]

52. President Clinton's film Killed me.

Just killed me.

[tridim]

54. I'm glad they're showing this

It'll make a great contrast when The Decider gives his lameass speech.

[tabasco]

64. Ya' know, I remember back then.

I remember Limbaugh and all the other assorted RW hatemongers saying "why does Clinton spend taxpayer money to make these silly little sketches." Of course, they had nothing to say about Bush's disgusting sketch in which he was searching the Oval Office for WMDs. OH! That was a side-splitter Duhbya! Joking about the false reasons for getting thousands of our troops killed and tens of thousands maimed for life.

[Greeby]

53. Seems like a thousand centuries ago, doesn't it?

:cry:

[annabanana]

55. reshowing arrivals now. . . . . .n/t

[biscotti]

57. Any body catch April (last name?)

and Armstrong Williams looking like they were engaged in snarly gossip?

[annabanana]

58. Ken Melman didn't look too happy there, did he?

I heard the word lawyer.. and phone call...

[AlCzervik]

66. i saw him talking to David Shuster and you're right, he looked defensive

also did you see the camera pa and stop on John Bolten? He looked like miserable prick--as ususal.

[annabanana]

71. Bolton looked like a miserable prick

becasue he IS a miserable prick

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

60. Will they please hurry up and eat. I can't stand anymore

of Chimpy's lame ass jokes... :puke: :puke: :puke:

[annabanana]

61. rerunning B*sh's comments, spring of '01

He showed family photos.. naked baby jeb bush
dad making a stupid face
his mom doing squats
....... Think he has "issues"?

[brook]

63. I couldn't watch. n/t

[malaise]

65. But I hope someone was saving that n/t

[onehandle]

67. Hopefully someone in the kitchen will pee in his food tonight.

What am I talking about. That probably happens every day.

Enjoy, Mr. "President".

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

70. .....

:rofl: :applause:

[librechik]

111. Shrub has a food taster. I wonder if he's union. n/t

[annabanana]

68. Clinton's first dinner. speech..

Reflects how heavily he was being hammered by the whole corpomedia...

[adigal]

73. And how important he thought the press was

when he said that the press needs to do its job, because people like him who get power with the best of intentions might try to get more power and the Constitution provided for them to hold him and his policies up to the light and examine them, and how important it is that the press continue to do so.

Wow. I am stunned between the difference between Clinton's appreciation of the press versus Bush's complete disdain and dismantling of the press.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

72. I'm wondering why C-Span didn't run

Chimpy's totally inappropriate speech from 2004. That was a real side splitter..:sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[adigal]

74. No WMDs under here

I was ill when I first saw that - that was one of the reasons I left the Republican party.

[robbedvoter]

79. Looking for WMDs?

Stopped being funny for them too.

[PCIntern]

76. Was that John McLaughlin's wife or granddaughter?

Pretty randy of him...the McLaugh-in Group's head robbing the cradle. Loves him for his good looks and manliness, I'm sure...

[babylonsister]

80. I wondered the same thing!!! nt

[AlCzervik]

82. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being impossible and 10 being metaphysical

certainty---i'm going to "Eleanor Clift!!"

[PCIntern]

87. isn't he the heir to steel money? n/t

[AlCzervik]

91. i dunno biut thats his wife Chritine Vidal.

[annabanana]

[Gabi Hayes]

and a box full of knee pads?

[chat_noir]

88. tour

Did the Cox News guy say something to the effect of how someone gets less votes wins????

[DemReadingDU]

93. I thought he said winning the election with fewer votes

something like that

[Sydnie]

100. yes that's what he said

getting advice, maybe from someone right here in the white house, how to win an election with fewer votes. Sounded something like that.

[annabanana]

90. introducing the "correspondents of tomorrow"

[AlCzervik]

96. Bush's butt must be in full pucker right now during these awards.

[annabanana]

98. Carl Cannon, Nat''l Jounal: Fundy's influence on politics

124. she's on the dias, next to Colbert

[AlCzervik]

118. oh boy that toast was a little underwhelming--the response--here we go

he's on.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

123. Hardly anybody applauded AT ALL during the toast.

[AlCzervik]

128. yup, i'm glad the press corps didn't make nice this time.

[babylonsister]

[Cleita]

132. Dimson is blotto. He can barely stand while the Bush

[DS1]

134. This double Prez thing is fantastic

Hiya Salmon...:hi:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

147. Hiya fooj !

Where DID I put that cricket bat? :evilgrin:

:hug: :hi:

[Libby2]

141. We have got to pour on the emails

in favor of Stephen.

Man, he better watch his back!

[Gabi Hayes]

143. I wonder if the press reviewing Colbert will note just how badly

he reamed the junta, AND, more importantly, how unappreciative the sycophantic WHITE HOUSE press correspondents' audience was

they DID NOT APPRECIATE having a strong dose of the truth splashed in their faces

his "audition" for press secretary, using clips from actual press gaggles, was brilliant

but NOTHING he said got more than the slightest bit of positive reaction, as opposed to their apparent real appreciation of that idiotic double dubya inoculation, which embarrassingly tried to make light of the fact that the most powerful man WHO EVER LIVED is nothing but a halfwit

Bush at the correspondents' dinner: twice the man, half the brains!

[fooj]

145. You know what I say to that Gabi?

Tough shit. It's about time these whores get a REAL DOSE of the TRUTH! I thought it was terrific!

:hi:

[fooj]

144. Stephen "Llevos Grande" Colbert...

Holy crap. He didn't skip a beat......

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
