KOEB Meeting: 05/02/08 -- Happy Friday! Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

1. So it's REALLY Friday???

(I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday......) :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

2. I guess this is our second Friday of the week.

:hi: As the cam-pain drags on...

[SeattleGirl]

6. Hi Berry!

Cam-pain is right. Oy, I feel like I'm living in a nightmare.

[Patsy Stone]

4. Yes, ma'am!

[SeattleGirl]

8. Thanks Patsy!

:hi:

[bunny planet]

51. Hey, that's my third in as many minutes, I'm cutting myself off.

[GigiMommy]

41. Here you go Girl!

:hi:

[bunny planet]

3. Let me be the first to say Shabbat Shazam!!!

I want this primary to be over.
And these pretzels are making me thirsty.

[Patsy Stone]

7. Tuesday is a "game changer".

Hmmm.

Shabbat Shazzam, baby! Please let it be over before I die.

:toast:

[SharonRB]

12. I am SO ready to get on with the REAL campaign

Come on, Hills, put a fork in it already. You're done.

[SeattleGirl]

13. So, what game is gonna be played Tuesday?

I've lost track.....

[bunny planet]

16. She's playing games alright, and she's a sore loser.

Why are these superdelegates trickling in, they've got to start pouring in, I can't take this anymore.

[rocktivity]

170. Tuesday changes nothing unless Hillary wins by 36 points

BOTH times:

41-point or more margin of victory = blowout

36 - 40 points = a "real" win

30 - 35 points = good, but not good enough

11 – 29 points = a wash

5 - 10 points = useless

1 - 4 points = concession speech


:headbang:

[SeattleGirl]

10. Hi bunny!

:hi:

[bunny planet]

38. Hello doll.

[ralps]

5. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone!! I guess it's Saturday in Guam!

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

[Berry Cool]

11. And Friday night here!

So all's well! :toast:

[ralps]

31. Hi BerryBush!

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

[Berry Cool]

37. Hi ralps!

[SeattleGirl]

Hi ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

33. Hi SeattleGirl!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

14. It's Saturday in Guam

Sounds like a song.

:hi:, ralps!

[GigiMommy]

76. Hi Ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

85. Hi GigiMommy!

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

[SharonRB]

9. Shabbat Shalom, y'all

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

15. Hi Sharon!

Did your dad get home yet?

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

19. Richard Wolffe: "Keith, Guam's a caucus. They don't count."

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

20. Yes, he got home on Wednesday

[SeattleGirl]

26. Good.

I hope the trip didn't wear on him too heavily, though it had to be difficult to say the least.

[SharonRB]

29. I think coming home was probably harder

It really hit him when he opened up the half-empty closet and saw all the space with my mother's clothes gone.

[SeattleGirl]

36. I know how that feels.

Cleaning out my mom's house, then going back after everything was gone was so hard.

Well, blessings to your dad, Sharon, and prayers that he finds some comfort in this difficult time. (And blessings and prayers to you, too.)

[SharonRB]

44. Thanks, SG

Same to you. :hug:

[Berry Cool]

40. What a difficult moment.

That's when it hits fresh. Then, and a thousand other times.

[bunny planet]

59. Oh Sharon.

:hug: :cry:

[SharonRB]

64. Thanks, Bunny

[Berry Cool]

77. I feel for you, Sha-Sha.

I think my mother's closet still has all the clothes in it, and it's been eight years.

[SharonRB]

81. I'm glad we did it quickly

There's still more, but most of it's gone.

It just makes me so sad thinking of my father all alone there. He seems to be okay, but it makes me cry.

[Berry Cool]

103. Of course.

You've just got to be there for each other. :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

21. Are ye fur us, or a'gin' us?

Hillary Festus.

[Patsy Stone]

17. "It's a caucus, so it doesn't count."

Richard Wolffe! :rofl:

[bunny planet]

18. Richard Wolfe was trying so hard to keep from cracking up just now.

'Keith, it's a caucus, and they don't count.'

[Berry Cool]

22. Looks like it's Cokes all around!

[bunny planet]

28. I don't like Coke. Can I get a martini instead?

[SharonRB]

30. The offspring and I just went out to dinner

and I had a Raspberry Vanilla martini -- she treated for the drinks! Yum!

[bunny planet]

35. Kewl!

[bunny planet]

43. When my daughter and I go on our trip this month, she'll be in a place where

she's legal to drink, and she'll be lobbying heavily to have me allow it. Yikes.

[bleever]

42. That is exactly

what I was thinking.

Time for a pitcher.

[bunny planet]

47. That's a vodka martini right?

That glass doesn't look chilled enough but I'll take it anyway. This primary is quite simply driving me to drink.

[bleever]

57. Absolutely.

And the one next to the laptop here has a small pepperoncini at the bottom instead of an olive.

Cheers!

[bunny planet]

62. The olive is my favorite part.

[Berry Cool]

45. As you wish!

[bunny planet]

49. oooh, what kind is that.

Appletini?

[Berry Cool]

I think so.

Nice and swervy.

[rocktivity]

172. I'm grateful to Mr. Wolfe

for admitting that the Hillary camp and the MSM are just "pretending" that the race isn't over.

:headbang:
rocknation

[SeattleGirl]

23. Rachel commented today that Obama is talking to us like adults

where this gas tax holiday thing is concerned. I agree.

[SharonRB]

25. So do I

[bunny planet]

24. She used the phrase 'with us or against us'. She really is playing to the Republicans.

Can somebody please tell her that they hate her and they are only being nice to her now because they want her to be the candidate.

[SharonRB]

27. She's the only one who doesn't know that

Well, maybe Bill doesn't either.

[bunny planet]

34. I think they might know it but they think they can overcome it in the general

(which she won't be running in hopefully) when they go after McCain with the same kitchen sink they've been throwing at Obama.

[SeattleGirl]

32. "Post-9/11 garbage...."

Right on, Keith!

[Berry Cool]

53. Keith is not mincing words when it comes to Hillary, that's for sure.

The sexist. :rofl:

Hey everybody, how does one celebrate a Gas Tax Holiday anyway? Are you allowed to wish people "Happy Gas Tax Holiday"? Or would Billo accuse you of waging a War on Gasmas?

[SeattleGirl]

55. LOL!

:rofl:

[bleever]

89. "War on Gasmas".

[SharonRB]

39. The 'span will be showing Obama's and Hillary's

speeches at the NC Jeff Jack dinner tonight. I hope Barack doesn't start his until after Countdown. Hope we didn't miss them already.

[SharonRB]

52. Must be on 3

1 and 2 don't have it.

On edit:

Oops -- maybe this is it. I thought it was something else on 1.

[Patsy Stone]

56. It looks like someone's introducing Obama now

But I'll have to flip back to make sure. I want to see this Blumenthal story.

[SharonRB]

58. Me, too -- I'm so disappointed in him

Nancy introduced me to him last summer at YearlyKos.

I think the NC governor is speaking now.

[Patsy Stone]

73. Lt. Gov.

and she's running for Gov.

What a disappointment Sid is right here.

[SharonRB]

78. Yeah, I just figured that out.

[Patsy Stone]

Hillary's up now.

So Barack will be after Countdown, I guess. Unless we missed him.

[SharonRB]

102. No, she's first

So we can skip her and go over after Keith. I feel like I should listen to her, but I'll pass.

[Patsy Stone]

104. We can read through all of the spin in GDP later

to figure out what she said.

Another Keith Dick Cheney impression! :rofl:

And manic Richard returns.

[SeattleGirl]

60. What he's doing is stomach-turning.

:puke:

[WolverineDG]

46. Happy Friday!

I'm actually home on a Friday! :wow: :woohoo:

I'm watching the Sarah Jane chronicles & Dr. Who on Sci-Fi. I can't stand this politcal stuff right now. It hurtz my brain. x(

:hi:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

50. Hi DG!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

48. Hi Everyone! Cheers!

:hi:

http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2007/11/26/cocktails_wideweb__470x312,0.jpg

[SeattleGirl]

54. Hi Gigi!

Those drinks look yummy, especially the one on the left! :9

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

63. Hi GGM!

Looks like we've got plenty of drinks for Friday Night at the Clubhouse!

[GigiMommy]

71. We need MUNCHIES!

:hi: I'm heading for the kitchen.

[SeattleGirl]

79. Here you go, Gigi!

[GigiMommy]

93. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!

:loveya:

[GigiMommy]

65. Hmmmmm! They DO don't they.

:hi:

[ralps]

61. I'm glad Keith's covering the Sidney Blumenthal(sp?) story!

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

[Patsy Stone]

69. "Richard FREAKIN' Mellon Scaife?"

:rofl:, Keith!

[SeattleGirl]

70. I laughed at that one too!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

110. That was great!

:rofl:

[bunny planet]

80. That endorsement really makes him mad, me too. Its the height of hypocrisy

on her part. She's become part of the vast right wing conspiracy. WTF. I am so disgusted. If I never see another pants suit for as long as I live it'll be awesome.

[Berry Cool]

72. I think Keith truly feels betrayed and baffled by all these Clintonistas

who are sucking up to the right just to get Hillary over the hump. He remembers how much it cost him to remain true to his principles, and now he sees principles are merely something to be tossed overboard.

[SeattleGirl]

82. I can't blame him if he does feel that way.

While I certainly wasn't on the air, I did defend both of them all through the 90's. I feel they just kicked me in the stomach.

[bunny planet]

66. The only people I know who watch BillO' are hard core Hillary

haters. They want her on to help bash Obama for the time being. She's doing their work for them and I really dislike her for it.

[SeattleGirl]

74. I can't believe she is so willingly walking into the lion's den.

She WILL do anything to win. :puke:

[SharonRB]

75. Yeah, my dad watches and he hates Hillary

[GigiMommy]

91. Hi Sharon!!

:hi: Hope the family's well. How's the new car so far, especially on the freeways?

[SharonRB]

96. Hi, Gigi

The car's great! I drove it through the monsoon this afternoon to get to Warren to pick up some petitions for Sandy Levin that I promised to circulate tomorrow. It handled well even in all that rain.

[Berry Cool]

112. She will be the fool in the long run

for thinking that the enemy of her enemy is her friend.

[SharonRB]

67. Gene's head hurts, too

Maybe he should go watch what DG's watching. I think he needs a break, too.

[bunny planet]

68. Triple double super secret psychology

Inconceivable!!!

[GigiMommy]

83. Seattle!?!

YAK! :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

86. Hey! We are proud of our yak's here in Seattle!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ralps]

84. Awww It's take your Yak to work day in Seattle! SeattleGirl gets a shout out!

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

[SeattleGirl]

87. Yay, me!

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

88. I have YET to meet a Teacher, ANY TEACHER that likes...

"no child left behind".

[SharonRB]

90. Oh, good

Hillary is speaking first. Now I can watch the rest of Keith.

[bleever]

98. It sounded like they were introducing

Apollo Creed or something.

I'll catch her during commercials to get an idea of how badly Obama outclasses her.

[bunny planet]

92. I'm worried Indiana is going to be a clusterfuck

First Randi was talking about the fresh Supreme Court ruling that doesn't allow registered voters without a driver's license as photo id to vote in Indiana disenfranchising 13% of registered voters just in time for the primary vote. Those 13% are probably disabled, or urban poor, or elderly who've stopped driving, so their votes won't count. How is it possible that the Supreme Court just made that decision. Scalia needs to be impeached, can that happen.

Than Rachel was talking about a provision in Indiana law that allows voters to challenge other voters at the polls if they think they aren't real live authentic Democrats. That could fit nicely into Rush's chaos plans as well.

Oy, my head hurts.

[SeattleGirl]

99. I was thinking the same thing, especially after what Rachel was talking

about.

I'm glad I don't live in Indiana. :scared:

[Berry Cool]

101. Qwitcher yakkin'.

Oh my. Seems I've been rhapsodizing so much about KOOS that MSNBC is now giving us RMOS.

[Patsy Stone]

116. LOL

We're going to have to update the acronym dictionary now.

[bleever]

126. I think we also need RLYS.

"Richard Lewis Yak Shot".

[Berry Cool]

140. Perfect!

[GigiMommy]

94. RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

95. RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[ralps]

97. FYI Peter Godbold at Strictly Confidential will be having on Rev. Andrew Weaver

to talk about the Rejection of the SMU Bush Library by most of the people at the Methodist Conference! http://strictlyconfidentialradio.com/

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

[ralps]

100. Rachel!!!!

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

[bleever]

105. Her makeup is especially good this evening.

She should get the same person every night.

[Patsy Stone]

106. GMTA

[bleever]

109. Clink!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

111. Yes, I think she has false eyelashes on

[Berry Cool]

113. "You gotta stop chain-chewing that Nicorette, Ann!"

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

119. Annie...

C'mon...

LOL

[ralps]

107. Personally I hope Ben Stein gets Worst Person in the World!

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

[bunny planet]

108. My mother won't even listen when I remotely suggest that we went to this war

for the oil companies. I think I'll send her McCain's remarks on it. She still wants to believe that Bush is basically a decent guy.
ummm, no he is not.

[ralps]

114. Today's worst person in the world is CoulterGeist For saying Obama is a Manchurian

Candidate!! LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[rocktivity]

171. Obama's a Manchurian candidate? But McCain's the one

who has experience as a tortured POW in Asia!

:crazy:
rocknation

[GigiMommy]

115. Keith's on one tonight! LUV his "Coultergeist"

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

118. I was laughing all the way through that!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

120. Keith has still forgotten about Wal-Mart.

Keith, Keith, Keith. How soon we forget.

[bunny planet]

117. Ok, that was the best worst persons in the world segment

EVAH! Especially Coultergeist and the Manchurian Candidate rant. Awesome Keef.

[Berry Cool]

124. Richard Lewis is as disgusted as we are by "Mission Accomplished."

It's good to hear.

"John McCain is not my friend!" :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

121. Arrrgh! Abrams is going to keep talking about Rev. Wright!

Grrrrrr!!!

[Patsy Stone]

125. I saw that

:eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

122. Who was at the 92nd Street Y?

Keith or Richard? That's a JCC.

ed: wrong street

[Berry Cool]

128. Both.

[Patsy Stone]

129. I'm never in the right place

at the right time. :(

[bunny planet]

123. Dang, I went downstairs for a couple of minutes and I missed the beginning

of Richard Lewis.

Sharry Lewis and Lambchop references. I'm loving this.

[bunny planet]

127. Oh Richard.

Now that was an overshare.

[Berry Cool]

136. TMI, Richard, TMI...

He just cannot be contained by TV. It's like he forgets he's on.

But damn, he's funny.

I'd rather see another hour of him than Dan doing an hour-long Jeremiah Wright Show. :grr:

[bunny planet]

139. Oh I know, my mellow got harshed immediately because I left the teevee on a minute too long.

Richard just cracks Keith up too, so much fun to watch.

[Patsy Stone]

142. Flip to the 'span.

Obama's almost on --after lord knows how many introductions.

[bunny planet]

144. I'm back on computer only, I'll go check for a simulcast.

[SharonRB]

146. I've got it on

watching Hillary walking through the crowd.

[bunny planet]

167. Wow that was a great speech Obama just made.

I'm crying.
I want to believe in this candidate so badly.
And I do.
The 'that's my patriotism' ending was electrifying.

[Patsy Stone]

168. It was amazing

And I think that was the line of the night.

[bunny planet]

169. He's the real deal.

[Berry Cool]

150. Watching Keith react to Richard is as funny as Richard himself.

He falls apart and turns so red.

[Patsy Stone]

153. Are there really no other singers from Indiana?

I'm a bit overloaded on the John Booger Melonhead over here.

[bunny planet]

130. OMG, The Bush Library, cliff notes and a lapdance.

[Patsy Stone]

131. He killed

I adore that maniac.

[bunny planet]

134. Me too.

Adore him.

[bunny planet]

132. Richard acts like I feel inside when I'm watching this stuff.

God bless him.

[GigiMommy]

133. That was funny!

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

135. He forgot about "My Pet Goat"

I'm sure that will be in the library.

[bunny planet]

141. I think it'll be spelled Liberry in this case.

[Berry Cool]

145. And the Shakespeares.

Oh well, over to the Cavs game. They're waaay ahead. Please, let them just win this one and put Round 1 away! They probably won't get any further, but damn!

[bleever]

137. I think Hillary just plagiarized Chumbawumba.

"I get knocked down, but I get up again! Nothing's gonna keep me down!"

Hmph. "Pissing the night away" is what I say.

[Patsy Stone]

138. No

Did she really?

Please, please, please tell me you are joking.

[bleever]

143. I paraphrased only slightly.

It was uncannily close to that.

[Patsy Stone]

147. Oh, my.

Every time I hear this Mellencamp song, I feel like I should go out and buy a car.

[SharonRB]

148. Now they're playing "I won't Back Down"

That's Hillary alright.

[bleever]

149. "Never Can Say Goodbye"

would work too.

[Patsy Stone]

151. Next up should be

"I Want You to Want Me" followed by "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me."

[bleever]

152. Meanwhile, somewhere Buddy in Columbus

is still flying high off this morning's hit of Frangela.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

154. Damn, I missed it.

:(

[bleever]

158. Last call of the show.

Our Botany was left speechless. Chris commented that it was like he'd just gotten phone sex.

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

160. I missed it, too.

[bleever]

161. "Next time,

we gotta get a credit card number."

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

155. Looks like a lot of the Hillary people didn't stick around for Barack

[Patsy Stone]

156. I think the NC Governor is getting booed

in a big, big way.

[SharonRB]

157. I don't hear anyone saying anything

[Patsy Stone]

Where? on DU you mean?

Or C-SPAN? Because my sound just went out.

[SharonRB]

163. I meant cspan

Audio seems to be fixed now.

[Patsy Stone]

164. :)

How annoying was that?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5791007&mesg_id=5791064

[SharonRB]

165. Who knew?

I had no idea he was so disliked.

[SharonRB]

159. You missed the part of Hillary's speech

where she praised John Edwards and the work he's done for the poor. She promised to create a cabinet-level post of poverty czar or something like that. Methinks she's pandering for Edwards' endorsement.

[SharonRB]

162. They better get this audio fixed

before Barack starts his speech.

[SharonRB]

166. Oh, crap

There goes the sound again. And hubby just got a call for a survey. I can't believe they're calling at 9:30. I thought those kinds of calls were supposed to end at 8 or 8:30. When I've done calling we were always told not to call this late.
