14. Hi Patsy! It's good to see you too!

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

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi Berry. Hi all.

I don't feel my usual bit of excitement at the thought of Keith's special commentary. But I agree, he needs to do it.

[Patsy Stone]

6. Later on, we can all sit around and Google each other

How handy of them to add that feature! Go, Admins!

[Berry Cool]

10. I'd rather Google Keith.

Ha ha.

I know how you all feel. I'm not bouncy and happy tonight.

I feel something very deeply at stake tonight.

[Patsy Stone]

13. This may be

the most powerful comment yet for so many reasons.

[SeattleGirl]

16. Exactly.

[bunny planet]

61. quest que ce, a new feature. Explain please.

[Patsy Stone]

64. Le Google window

in the upper right-hand corner.

[SharonRB]

66. Look at the upper right of your screen

There's a search box -- you can search Google or DU. It's pretty cool.

[bunny planet]

70. kewl

[ralps]

8. IMO Geraldine Ferraro is a liar!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :wtf:

[Berry Cool]

38. I cannot BELIEVE she is painting herself as the victim here.

The audacity of (being a) dope.

Sorry I'm so solemn but Mama had to go make herself a vanilla Coke to get through tonight. You know...with the 40-proof vanilla.

[bunny planet]

62. that's my favorite kind of vanilla

[SharonRB]

17. Hi, everyone

I'm late because I was wading through KO's Kos diary looking for the tip jar. I found it!

Love the new search feature.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

19. Google Me!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

23. You were actually the first one I Googled!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

25. No!

I was only kidding!

:rofl:

I was going to post that (Google Me!) as a Lounge thread when I first saw the window at the top, but I had a day at work.

[SharonRB]

27. There are 36,100 results for you

[Patsy Stone]

I need to STFU, already.

:)

[SharonRB]

30. I'm almost as bad

32,700

[Patsy Stone]

33. Yentas.

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

60. ....

[bunny planet]

67. I so want one of those.

Fabulousity

[Patsy Stone]

71. LOL

[SeattleGirl]

20. Hi Sharon.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

24. Hi, SG

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

26. Hello all!

Hatches are battened down! All cats at battle stations! We're ready over here! :hi:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

28. And:

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

31. Candy is dandy

but liquor is quicker. ;)

:hi:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

34. Didja see Keith's diary?

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/3/12/184352/231/636/475338

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

139. I was sort of hoping for this instead:

"Dear Diary...
What am I going to do? I'm in a relationship, yet I find myself strangely drawn to the fabulous women of the KOEB..."

Except Keith would never use a split infinitive. :)

[Patsy Stone]

142. Whereas, I

live for them.

Dear Penthouse,

I never thought this would happen to me, but I was walking along CPW, when a bunch of women with names like Puff, Dusty, Frisky, Princess, and Mac surrounded me near Strawberry Fields. The next thing I knew, pink fuzzy handcuffs appeared, and a wicked bass-line kicked in.

Missed ya this evening!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

143. I missed you guys, too.

I had a gruelling Pastor-Parish meeting, and we went for several hours. Someday, I might be able to talk about it. Right now, I'm eying the bottle of wine in the refrigerator.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

144. Breathe and drink

If you missed the Special Comment, it's posted on the front page.

I'm up too late, and off to bed. :)

[RevCheesehead]

145. First thing I did was watch it in the Videos forum... twice!

I thought he addressed it well, and really appeared to be balancing the fine line of offering harsh, yet essential criticism. I can only hope that Hillary will really try to hear what he's saying, and address these issues. If she can't do that, then she really has no business in assuming the job of President.

Sleep well! :hi:

[SharonRB]

29. Hi, DG

:hi:

Batten down the hatches!

[SeattleGirl]

42. Hey DG!

:hi:

[Botany]

32. Botany's very short rant

1) Ferrero's was not a loose cannon ... but was doing the biding of team Hillary
Obama was winning Wisconsin, Iowa, VA, and other's white vote .... Hillary
had to stop that

b) When I was doing volunteer work for Kerry @ his State HQ in Ohio .....
I was told along w/ a bunch of others .... "you have no thoughts or opinions
to share w/ anybody as part of the campaign (I was a low life grunt not = to
Ferrero) we have a spoke's people for that" The idea that Gerry was saying that
stuff off script is a joke.

BTW Did I ever tell you that ..... :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

40. Well, they figured it worked so well when they did it in Spanish

(see my journal) they thought they'd try it in English. Too bad they didn't vet the person they sent out to do it....might not be so smart to have someone who made racist remarks 20 years ago do it again today.....ready from day WHAT again?


dg

[Botany]

69. The idea that Gerry F. did that on her own is a joke.

Well Hillary lied about Canada / NAFTA & peace in N. Ireland too.

She wanted a coronation not a campaign.

[WolverineDG]

76. if that's the case

she should divorce bill & get charles to divorce camilla & marry him.

dg

[Mabus]

148. Oh, come off it!

It's not like Gerry has run for a national office before nor does she know anything about controlling the message. :eyes:

Give her a break. She's a total political newbie and knows not what she does. :rofl:

[bunny planet]

74. That's exactly what Mr. Bunny said earlier, GF is doing exactly and saying exactly

what she was supposed to do (as encouraged by the Clinton campaign) in order to undermine Obama. One could almost say they were telling him to stay in his place.
Disgusting. I am so angry and saddened by this latest round. I wish Obama would ask Samantha Power to come back into the campaign. After Gerry's meltdown, and Clinton's non convincing rejection of it, that monster comment seems more and more appropriate.

[Patsy Stone]

78. That's exactly

what I said last night. All of it. We're on the same wavelength.

[SharonRB]

35. Big news in Michigan's 9th district race today

Dr. Kevorkian is running as an independent! :rofl: He should pull some votes from Gary Peters. Maybe Nancy's lucky she dropped out.

[Patsy Stone]

41. I saw that!

When I sent it around the office, we all agreed it was a shame that he wasn't running in Hialeah, where dead people vote early and often.

[SharonRB]

44. ROFLMAO

:rofl:

Did you realize it was Nancy's district when you saw it? I'm being a bad Democrat and hoping he plays Nader.

[Patsy Stone]

50. I didn't

and that only makes it funnier. :)

[WolverineDG]

36. boy did I have a tussle with

a :crazy: today...what is it with Hillary supporters saying it's ok for women to be racist because of sexism & that anyone who calls Ferraro a racist is sexist? :crazy:

My grandmother didn't march for the vote so that women could run campaigns based on race-baiting & fear mongering.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

47. I couldn't bring myself to get into that shark pool.

There is no logic there and no point in wasting pixels on them.

[SeattleGirl]

49. WTF?

It is NOT okay for women to be racist. :crazy:

[WolverineDG]

79. If you weren't so sexist

you'd understand. :crazy:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

81. ...........

:rofl:

[bunny planet]

37. Hello Clubhouse!!!

Here for the special comment. Leave it to Hillary, she's getting the same treatment ordinarily reserved for Republican blowhards. Geraldine Ferraro is clueless about just how messed up she is still sounding. Please STFU Gerry. I never really liked her all this much when she was running for VP, this is ridiculous. Soon, people will bring up her husband's mob ties and shenanigi, she should just step off before that happens. Today I entertained the idea that Hilary will try and run as an independent a la Leiberman and siphon off votes from Obama that way if she can't steal the nomination. I really don't like her now, like really.

[SharonRB]

39. Me neither, BunBun. Me neither.

Glad you're here with us for this momentous occasion.

Hillary is full of crap. Michigan was fair? What's she smoking?

[bunny planet]

43. Whatever it is, she's inhaling.

[WolverineDG]

45. Is it wrong for me to hope that Bill is Client #1?

because this shit has got to stop at some point.


dg

[Patsy Stone]

53. ...

:spank:

Did you know you can buy Client #9 shirts already?

?

[Berry Cool]

46. Keith: "Ah, Florida. We knew we could REcount on you."

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

59. LOL

And I love Dana's prediction that they should just skip Katherine Harris and go right to the SCOTUS, where it would be decided 5-4, with the most conservative judges going for Hillary.

[Patsy Stone]

48. Keith thinks he's 'going to be in so much trouble'.

:scared:

:hi:, bun! :loveya:

[ralps]

51. Hi bunny planet, Randi was speculating about Hillary becoming an Independent

after the primary too! :wtf: :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :shrug:

[WolverineDG]

52. Good luck getting on the ballot in texas

have to find 100K or so who didn't vote in either primary.....whoops.

dg

[bunny planet]

54. Yeah, I know she was. I had that sinking feeling she'd stoop to that before it

even came up as a topic today, so that when it was mentioned, I immediately realized she would do it. How she ever thinks she will have an opportunity to come back in 2012 after leaving this country wide open to what McCain has to offer us is unreal to me. She is not just tone deaf, she is really delusional.

[Berry Cool]

55. Dayum, did Keith do a new show or partial show at midnight last night?

Aw, Joel McHale & wife had a baby today!!!!

"Kid's already making snarky comments." :rofl:

Today is a lucky day to be born on. Good for him.

[Berry Cool]

57. Bay Air Gate!!!!

That's a shout-out to us!!!! :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

56. For some reason, when I heard Keith's voice during the Joel McHale announcement

I thought he was going to tell me something horrible had happened to him and his wife. He must really be dreading this comment, he's not even enjoying Oddball.

I'm so glad it was good news.

Congrats Mr & Mrs. McHale. :toast:

"The kid made a snarky joke already...." LOL.

[Berry Cool]

77. I think he is more nervous than he wants to let on.

I assume he's already vetted all this with MSNBC and that they are behind him 100 percent.

The suits aren't going to have an easy time of it, though.

I'm surprised they haven't already covered Keith's windows with plywood in anticipation of the hurricane.

Hell, better replace them with BULLETPROOF GLASS tonight.

[bunny planet]

58. I've decided if she steals the nomination I won't stay home, I'll just write in Obama's

name. I cannot vote for her. Except, I don't know anything about how write in candidates work, if they count or anything, especially with the vapor not paper machines we have in NJ. I sure wish Gore or Edwards would please endorse Obama, that would make a big difference. I know John is probably waiting to see who comes out on top to become the bottom of the ticket with, however there might not be a party left to run with by the time the convention comes around if somebody doesn't stop this sandbox bloodbath soon.

[Berry Cool]

82. If it means anything, even as a protest vote, it would be an alternative to staying home.

I wonder how many other people would do it.

[GigiMommy]

63. Whew...made it.

:hi: Made it back from a Girl Scouts Mom/Daughter Tea/Birthday Party. Whaddamiss!?!

[SeattleGirl]

65. Hi Gigi!

He hasn't done the Special Comment yet, so you still have that to look forward to.

[GigiMommy]

72. Hi SG!!!

:hi: Great! Don't want to miss that!

[SharonRB]

68. Hi, Gigi

You didn't miss the special comment.

Take a look at my post above about a big development in the 9th district race. There's new independent candidate who could pull votes from Peters. Wait until you see who it is. I laughed my ass off when I heard about it today.

[GigiMommy]

75. OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!

:hi: You know, the FIRST time we ever heard of him was when he did an interview at Channel 2. My Brother was there for that and met him. He was there explaining his "death machine" and how it worked. Oh so many years ago.

[SharonRB]

80. Here's a linky to one of the stories

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iAexFcyuazKBCPetFNp2gfHxHdsgD8VC1Q380

It was all over the place today. I posted something in the Michigan forum earlier today. I didn't know if you saw it or not.

[WolverineDG]

73. So, when do we all turn on Keith?

Because, you know, he's supposed to piss all us KOEBers off by going after our goddess Hillary....

:rofl:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

83. GD-Pee will let us know.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

92. Beautiful. Just beautiful.

He said it all.

:applause:

[Patsy Stone]

102. Spectacular

:bounce:

Hillary, stop hurting America.

[bunny planet]

84. There's already a thread started, out there, about Keith not being Edward R. Murrow

after all. Geesh, can't wait to read all those later. They can't get in here can they?

[SharonRB]

88. No, we've locked all the doors

and boarded up the windows.

[Patsy Stone]

105. It's a good thing he's not Murrow

Murrow's dead.

:loveya: , Keith!

[bunny planet]

108. LOL

Its really ugly and cultish out there. I'm staying in here.

[RevCheesehead]

140. Berry's been trying to turn on Keith for years.

If you have ideas, I'm sure she's open to suggestions. :evilgrin:

[bleever]

JUST made it.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

97. Well

That was something.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

85. Here we go.....

Hold on tight!

[WolverineDG]

87. fasten your seatbelts

it's going to be a bumpy night....

dg

[SeattleGirl]

86. God, here we go.

:scared:

[SharonRB]

89. Bravo!

:applause: :applause: :applause: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

90. I don't think I took a breath during the whole comment.

[WolverineDG]

95. YAY KEITH!!!

:loveya:

dg

[SharonRB]

91. Is it safe to leave the clubhouse?

[WolverineDG]

94. lots of crybabies out there

be careful

dg

[SeattleGirl]

98. Someone in GD-Pee just said Keith lied because it was

three days before Powers resigned,not the next day. I can't remember the timeline, but if that's the best they can come up with, then KO won. Game, set, match.

[Berry Cool]

103. I'd step out only with caution.

And put on the Kevlar armor first.

I saw some posts today that amazed me. Posts comparing Keith to Rush and Billo. And flyarm (she knows him, remember) calling him the worst possible sexist and saying she has MSNBC on child block and it no longer airs in her house.

[SharonRB]

106. Flyarm has turned against KO?

Wow! That's really a shocker.

[Berry Cool]

111. Read it and be amazed. She ripped him a new one.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5039761#503995

Post #10.

[gkhouston]

147. WTF? KO interviewed Edwards on the show and gave him more

coverage than most.

[Mabus]

149. Put MSNBC on "child block"

how revealing. I've always heard it referred to "channel lock," "channel block" or "parental control". But, I'm from Kansas, so what do I know?

[Patsy Stone]

93. Is DU still working?

:hide:

[SharonRB]

96. Appears to be

I haven't tried to venture out yet.

[Patsy Stone]

99. Nah.gah.da.

Not going out there until much, much later.

[GigiMommy]

100. WOW!

:headbang: :yourock: :applause:

[SeattleGirl]

101. I just had to change the channel. Uncle Pat is way out of line.

Though I did love Rachel telling him she found it funny that he would be talking about feminism.

[SharonRB]

104. Good for Rachel

She called out Pat for telling the other guest to shut up.

[Berry Cool]

107. I can't take MSNBC right now.

I turned on the XM Radio '70s channel. Right now playing "Good Girls Don't" by The Knack.

[Patsy Stone]

110. But... do you?

I like "Frustrated" for the cheesy Knack goodness of it.

[SeattleGirl]

109. I just let loose with both barrels in GD-Pee.

Couldn't help it. Threads on there comparing Keith with Limpballs, threads saying he's every kind of nasty you could think of.

BULLSHIT! That's what it is, and I decided to tell the OP's of those posts just that.

I also told them that I knew they would not say such things if KO were directing his commentary at Obama.

Freakin' asshats! I can't take their bullshit any more.

[Berry Cool]

113. Maybe you're better off staying safe here where people love you.

As for me, I will venture into that cesspool tonight only to find fresh meat for my Ignore list. Of course, I expect that many entire threads will be invisible to me.

[SeattleGirl]

118. Yeah, I didn't stay there very long, though I did add another

couple of folks to the Ignore list.

:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

112. I went to count all the anti-Keith threads

and I ran out of fingers and toes. I guess it's good that they can only post three threads each. :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

114. Radio's playing "Cruisin'" by Smokey Robinson.

Is that the most goddamn sexy song on the planet or what????

[Patsy Stone]

119. That's a damn good one

Also, "Your Body is a Wonderland" by John Mayer.

[bunny planet]

115. They just can't handle the truth.

[Botany]

117. D.U. has lots of paid and "volunteer" Clinton / Right Wing posters now

The truth hurts so "they" must change the subject

The truth = team Hillary playing the race card

so switch the subject

That damn Keith O.

*******************

BTW Pat Buchannan and his brothers used to beat up
Jewish kids on their way home from school ... his dad
thought this was "neat."

Pat is one sick man.

[Patsy Stone]

121. Yes, he is

and that's why I'm scared when I agree with him.

Go see the poll and the results I posted above. It seems they are few, but wrong, and LOUD.

[Berry Cool]

130. It is really scary to ever agree with Pat

but he is the classic example of the blind squirrel who occasionally finds a nut.

[RevCheesehead]

141. or the broken clock that is right twice a day. n/t

[GigiMommy]

127. Really? Is that right about Buchanan?

Well that explains a lot. He IS one sick man.

[Botany]

131. Pat is complex in 2000 he said that he doubted that Jews in FL voted ...

.... for him and that those votes were for Gore but on the other
hand bad knees kept him out of Vietnam but in the late 60s
and early 70s he ran in races.

Pat and his brothers were raised Catholic and taught to
box by their dad ..... many stories of their thug actions
are around.

Pat really thinks that some of the shit that comes out
of his mouth comes from God and his good heart.

[Patsy Stone]

116. Keith GD:P Poll

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=5049292

[SeattleGirl]

120. I voted in that one.

Guess which answer is winning? :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

122. Funny, isn't it?

Where are the threadstarters? Are there really less than 10? Nah.

:crazy:

[SharonRB]

123. Amazing

Where are all the Hillbots?

[Patsy Stone]

125. Not a clue

But KO should take some pride in the fact that he can send us to Level 1. :)

[Patsy Stone]

128. On second thought

The sane ones must know she's being ill-served. If we could only see who voted "no" we'd know for sure who the cultists/freepers/psychos are. Pity.

[bunny planet]

124. We're winning that one.

Apparently Buchanan lost it on the next show and told Rachel and somebody else to shut up. Anybody see that. I never watch past Countdown, bad for the blood pressure.

[SeattleGirl]

126. I saw it.

First he tried to present himself as an expert on feminist issues, and Rachel called him on that. Then, right after that, he told the black female guest to "shut up", and Rachel got all over him about that too.

I love Rachel!

[SharonRB]

129. I saw it, too

And I cheered when Rachel called him out.

[Berry Cool]

132. Too bad I missed it. Oh well.

Keith was actually quite gentle with Hillary, considering what he could have said and how he could have said it. He was furious, all right, but it came off as controlled anger. Like a father whose teenager has finally come wandering in the front door at 4:30 a.m. drunk and high after having been out all night and obviously lied about where he/she went and who he/she was with.

[SeattleGirl]

133. Hey, here it is:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5050440

[Patsy Stone]

134. The comments on Keith's Diary have been disabled

You can't even read them. That doesn't bode well. Has anyone ever seen that before?

[SharonRB]

135. Wow -- I've never seen that

I wonder if a flame war broke out or maybe it was just getting too long? :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

136. I couldn't even read my own comment

through my own page. I forget how many comments his other ones had, but 1000+ is a lot. Still, it seems more a content issue. If not, why wouldn't they be visible.

Can a user disable comments on their own diary? Or is it a Mods thing?

[Berry Cool]

137. 1,090 comments.

No idea what happened. Never seen the comments not only be closed but disabled so they can't even be read.

I wonder if HE can read them.

Maybe there is info here?:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/3/12/22956/2427/487/475471

Edit: Mystery solved: Too many comments to post. Keith broke Kos!:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/3/12/215014/772/506/475460

[Patsy Stone]

138. Interesting

With dKos' software, when additional comments are disabled, you also can't see the ones that were there. Very weird.

But, I got 7 recs! :)

[Patsy Stone]

146. And the comments are now visible again.

Very odd.
