KOEB Meeting: 01/22/09 -- Goodbye, Gitmo Edition

[Patsy Stone]

Also, goodbye to all of the Yoo torture memos, the black sites, etc., etc., etc.

:toast: That's my PRESIDENT!

[ralps]

1. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

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

[Patsy Stone]

3. Hi, ralps!

It's been another excellent day! :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

4. Hi ralps!

It's so nice to see a President who smiles, rather that smirks!

[ralps]

7. Hi SeattleGirl!!! Yes it is!

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

[SeattleGirl]

2. Hi Patsy!

I love what he's done so far, and it's only Day Two!!

And doesn't Hillary look happy? I was really angry at her during the primaries, but I think that she was an excellent choice by Obama for SOS!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

5. She looks radiant

and that speech this morning choked me up. I also got a big kick out of Robert Gibbs' first briefing.

The adults are back in charge! :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

8. They sure are, and I love it!

I missed the speech itself, so I hope it's posted in the video forum.

[ralps]

6. Hi SeattleGirl!!! Hugs & I do too!

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

[Patsy Stone]

9. So, crazy Kit Bond was on Hardball earlier

His argument for leaving Gitmo open is that adding 250 prisoners to the US would "flood the system." He's a loon.

I've really enjoyed watching the Repubs today trying to make a case to leave it alone.

[SeattleGirl]

10. Ah, more wisdom from the "I pulled it out of my ass" brigade.

:eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

11. Here's two minutes of Hillary:

I can't find the whole thing right now.

[SeattleGirl]

12. Thanks Patsy!

I'll check it out during the next commercial break.

[SharonRB]

26. The link is bad

I get an error message that says: The URL contained a malformed video ID.

[SeattleGirl]

29. I got it too.

[Patsy Stone]

30. Fixed.

Malformed? LOL

:hi:

I love our new president. :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

13. "Now they're eating each other's carcasses."

:rofl:, Keith.

Tweety had a great rant on Cheney and Sccoter at the beginning of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue tonight. It may be up on MSNBC.

[SeattleGirl]

15. He's been doing that a lot lately.

So, he's either changed his stripes, or he finally feels free to say what he really feels.

[bleever]

14. Man, I love talking about Bush

in the past tense.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

16. Hi bleev!

Me too!! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

17. Amen, brother!

and a fond FUCK YOU to John Yoo, too. Not quite a haiku.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

19. Welcome to Rhyme Time with Miss Patsy, children!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

46. Now it's juice and cookie time!

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

53. .....

:spray:

[bleever]

32. Haiku for Yoo.

Used first on logic,
And proceeding on from there,
Torture spreads like fire.

[Patsy Stone]

45. ...

:thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

18. This NSA stuff is really creepy.

And it REALLY pisses me off.

I knew, of course, that the NSA was spying on Americans, but good God, it IS worse than I thought!

[Patsy Stone]

20. So, I guess they really did appreciate you saying "hi" to them.

Since most people just pretended they weren't there.

[SeattleGirl]

23. Apparently so.

I really do sometimes say "Hi Agent Mike" when I'm on the phone.

[GigiMommy]

21. Hello Everyone!!

:hi: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

24. Hi Gigi!!

Are you and Miss Cassie staying warm? :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

31. We're trying but...

Freckles keeps wanting to go in & out, in & out, in & out, etc. etc. etc.

[SeattleGirl]

35. They do have a habit of doing that, don't they?

[Patsy Stone]

27. Hi, GG!

Still bouncing: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

34. Hi Patsy!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Me too!

[SharonRB]

22. Hi, everyone

I had a meeting, but I'm here now.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

25. Hi Sharon!

Good to see you! How cold is it there today?

:hi:

[SharonRB]

28. Not bad, actually

Upper 20s. It gets cold again over the weekend.

Robert Redford is coming up? :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

36. Compared to temperatures you've been having, that's pretty good.

[SharonRB]

37. I could take this all winter

Without the snow, of course.

[SeattleGirl]

38. How much snow you got right now?

[SharonRB]

47. Who knows -- a lot, though.

We need a good, old-fashioned January thaw before we get more. I've got tons of icicles on my house.

[SeattleGirl]

50. Brrr!

Are the roads clear though, overall?

[SharonRB]

52. The main roads are.

The side streets in some of the subdivisions, not so much. Ours are okay.

[SeattleGirl]

54. Glad you're are!

[GigiMommy]

48. Enough so that I'm sick of snowblowers and shovels.

[SharonRB]

51. Amen to that!

[SeattleGirl]

55. I bet

[Patsy Stone]

33. Hi!

Wheeeeeee! I'm just so darned happy.

[GigiMommy]

39. Hi Sharon!!

:hi: :bounce: Was Nancy at the Inauguration?

[SharonRB]

49. No, she didn't go.

She was at home watching.

[Patsy Stone]

40. This NSA crapola needs investigatin' toot sweet.

Jail time for someone is a must.

[SeattleGirl]

42. Absolutely.

I hope that is on Obama's To Do list.

[SharonRB]

41. * kissed Gonzo on the forehead?

:puke: to both of them.

[SeattleGirl]

43. Agreed

:puke:

[Patsy Stone]

44. Yep

:puke:

[GigiMommy]

56. That must be Rush's FAVORITE position!!

:rofl:

[ralps]

57. Today's worst person in the world is John Thane?? of Merrill Lyn_h for spending

Millions on his Office Remodeling!!!!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :grr:

[GigiMommy]

59. Hi Ralps!!!

:hi: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

58. "A commmmmmooooooode with legs."

LOL! Keith's having too much fun with the Merrill Lynch guy and his extravangant taxpayer fraud.
