KOEB 4/11/08 OBAMA IS RIGHT!!!! Edition

[Berry Cool]

Sorry, I'm ahead of myself, I'm angry tonight.

Goddammit, they're going to try to make something out of THIS??????

[ralps]

1. Hi BerryBush, Hi Everyone!

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

[SeattleGirl]

10. Hi ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

21. Hi SeattleGirl!! Crook says Meow (Hi)

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

[SeattleGirl]

23. Hi Crook!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

46. Oh, Crook is lovely!!

[ralps]

56. He sure thinks so BerryBush!

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

[GigiMommy]

58. Hi Ralps!

:hi: What a great picture of Crook!

[ralps]

71. Hi GigiMommy! Thanks! & Crook says Meow!

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

[RevCheesehead]

124. Oh! CC just saw Crook's picture.....

and sat up, all excited, like "Is this a new friend? Cool!" :)

[Patsy Stone]

2. When you've got nothing

You'll try anything.

:hi:, all! Happy Friday!

He wasn't gonna win PA anyway.

[SeattleGirl]

15. Hi ya, Pats!

So, apparently both Clinton and McCain went to the Don Rumsfeld Drama Queen School.

[Patsy Stone]

32. Fresh OUTRAGE!!!

Just in time for the weekend. Oy.

:hi:, SG! Happy Friday!

[SeattleGirl]

34. And I'm sure that some of the fine folks in G-Pee will make sure

things stay plenty stirred up, too.

[Patsy Stone]

37. Well, the good news is:

Most of the real troublemakers have been TS'd. Look for a sockpuppet appearing in a thread near you.

[SeattleGirl]

40. I know the mods were pretty busy this week.

And I say, kudos to them!

[Berry Cool]

22. Oh, great, that's a LOVELY way of putting it.

So now he gets to lose Pa. by 50 points, and we have to be subjected to all their rejoicing that "it's not over yet."

I'm sorry, but Bot will say this too: Yes, there are people who are serious about gun rights and religious rights and that's fine, but IT'S TRUE that SOME PEOPLE IN SMALL TOWNS DO CLING to "guns and God and hate" as their security blanket in a world in which they'vve lost their jobs and their comfortable way of life.

IT'S FUCKING TRUE.

It's not politically wise to admit it, but was it politically wise to admit that white people are often scared of blacks and say nasty things about them when blacks aren't around?

Damn. :banghead:

[Patsy Stone]

66. Not 50 pts.

And NC will negate anything she's got going. It will be up to the media and the campaigns to keep this alive until the 22nd. That's a lot of work, and don't count out the folks on Hill's payroll saying/doing something stupid in the interim.

If Rev. Wright hasn't killed him, this won't either; and the people he was referring to weren't voting for him anyway.

Besides, where was the outrage when it happened? Why is everyone suddenly so upset? Could it have to do with Bill's big mouth?

[SeattleGirl]

68. Probably.

You know, yesterday in GD-Cesspool, there was a post about a "big bomb" Hilary was going to drop right before the PA primary. It makes me wonder if this was what they were referring to.

[Patsy Stone]

76. Also, PA is a closed primary

So she has to hope he pissed off huge amounts of overly-religious, gun-loving, small town Democrats. How many of those are out there? 10?

[Berry Cool]

122. You have a point there.

It would have been much more dangerous in Ohio.

John McCain might have gotten NO votes, because all the Republicans would have crossed over and voted for Hillary.

[GigiMommy]

105. Rev Wright is going to speak in Detroit

during the NAACP dinner. It's open to the public. Wondering should I go.

[SharonRB]

111. I wish they had gotten someone less controversial

[GigiMommy]

120. It will get Kwame off the front page for a bit.

Tonight Ch.7 doing a piece on Kwame and Christine at Cass Tech. Since that's my high school I guess I'll watch.

[SharonRB]

121. He needs to go

NOW!!!!

[SharonRB]

3. Finally. I thought I was going to be alone

Another pointless firestorm? I'm so sick of this shit.

[SeattleGirl]

16. Hi Sharon

So am I!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

17. Hi, SG

:hi:

[CC]

4. Shit I knew not only they but the media would the

minute I saw it. Does not matter what he meant or what came before or after it, the 30 second sound bite is what it is. He goofed saying it.



:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

20. It's ridiculous.

Hi CC. :hi:

[CC]

41. Hi SG.

It may be ridiculous but so is the resurrection of the Bosnia story in its way. I Bill talked more than that 30 seconds too.

I'm ready to ask someone to slam BOTH their heads together and knock some sense into both. They are making my job harder. I am less than a mile away from PA. I have friends in acquaintances in PA. A lot are gun loving, religious people that were repukes that I have spent 8 years moving to the center if not to the left though been trying to get them to the left. I heard about it first from a phone call from one.:banghead: I have been trying very hard to point out the reason to vote for either, because one of them will be our candidate and too many are too wobbly about not voting for the repuke.

[WolverineDG]

47. heya CC!!

There's a couple of really cute ferret lols on the front page at http://icanhascheezburger.com/?

:loveya:


dg

[CC]

52. I just broke up a ferret fight.

I have to go look, not happy with a few of mine right now. Caged them all for a time out. Have to go look so I can remember I actually like ferrets. :rofl:

[ralps]

63. Hi WolverineDG, Here's a fun Kitty one!!

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

[WolverineDG]

72. I LOVE that one!

EEE! A calico kitten!!! :loveya:

Thanks ralps!

dg

[Patsy Stone]

95. That is very cute.

EEEEEEEE.

[Patsy Stone]

5. Keith's wearing the upholstery jacket again.

:eyes:

[WolverineDG]

12. He wants to do a LaZBoy ad

sheesh. At least the tie is nice. :)

dg

[Berry Cool]

28. I'd love to use Keith as my recliner.

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

125. snorf!

:rofl: Keef chair! :)

[Patsy Stone]

91. The tie is the best part.

I'm going to burn that jacket one day.

[WolverineDG]

6. Had to get the Bosnia resurrection off the news somehow

:eyes:

:hi: everyone! TGIF!


dg

[SeattleGirl]

Hi DG!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

My God, they are running the whole video again

AND Bill's comments. My God, they really don't know when to quit digging, do they?

dg

[SeattleGirl]

27. Still lookin' for that pony.

[SeattleGirl]

7. Hi Berry! Howdy all!

So, she's throwing the bathtub at him now, huh? :eyes:

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

35. She's got nothing else and that primary's just getting closer.

I swear to God, if I were a candidate I'd just keep my damn mouth shut and just go out and wave at the crowds and say nothing on the campaign trail.

You can tell Keith is really disappointed in the Clintons, too. Again, everything he writes sounds like an introduction to a Special Comment. His volcano is STILL about to blow. Wait till Monday.

[SeattleGirl]

45. I know.

However, there are lots of Clinton supporters who don't get what he's saying, and are claiming he's a sexist pig. Makes me wonder if they ever get after their kids for misbehaving.

[Berry Cool]

64. Tell me about it.

Did you SEE the video Joan Walsh on Salon (who usually knows better) posted there from YouTube to make her point about how Hillary has been damaged by sexism?

The video is by some group or person called Shut The Freud Up.

The second half of it is essentially Hillary campaign ad, but the first half is supposed to be compendium of sexist references to Hillary by the Big Bad Media.

The very FIRST media clip is of Keith, and it moves into his Special Comment about Ferraro. And it goes to split screen with a clip of Edward R. Murrow's speech talking about how TV will just be "lights and wires in a box" if not well used. And it essentially singles out and ridicules Keith as not being fit to untie Murrow's shoes.

It then progresses to a series of other media clips of various idiots (Tweety, Tucker, Glenn Beck, etc.) making blatantly sexist remarks about Hillary on TV. Interspersed with MORE clips of Keith...as if what he said was WORST of them all. All of this while "Carmina Burana" is storming away in the background.

It also features sexist newspaper clippings (after the Howard Beale segment). Then it becomes Glowing Hillary Campaign Ad, all set to the tune of "Bitch."

It's every bit as godawful as the McCain Girls...you have to go to Salon and see it.

[SharonRB]

8. How many pairs of glasses does Richard have, anyway?

:shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

11. A brazillion?

:hi:, you!

[SharonRB]

14. At least

:hi: to you, too.

[WolverineDG]

18. Bet he has a Saturday "mow the lawn" pair &

a Sunday "Go to Meetin'" pair too. Jeepers. That, or he owns Eyemasters.

dg

[ralps]

9. Oh & BerryBush I think it's April 11th

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

[Berry Cool]

43. It's fixed.

It's as if I just want the week to be over.

[bleever]

13. BREAKING: Obama says "The Deer Hunter" not that good a movie.

McCain caters voters by praising "The Philadelphia Story".

[WolverineDG]

24. This just in:

HillaryClintonforum.net claims media bias against MSNBC (again) because Obama is the lead story & not the Pots-n-Pans debacle Brigade at the Today Show.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

26. :groan:

Some people need to get a life. :eyes:

[SharonRB]

30. What is that, anyway?

[WolverineDG]

36. They held a protest outside the Today show this morning

There's a couple of threads in GD: P about it. It wasn't exactly the rousing success they thought it would be.

dg

[bleever]

31. I knew they should have brandished rolling pins.

Oy.

[SeattleGirl]

33. Hi bleev!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

Which was an EXCELLENT movie.

"Lydia! Oh Lydia! Say have you met Lydia?"

:hi:

[bleever]

54. C.K. Dexter

HAVENS!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

70. Hillary says "I just read The Mysteries of Pittsburgh and it was a GREAT book!"

"And did I mention how much I love the Pennsylvania Polka?"

[Patsy Stone]

78. I heard

she changed her phone number to Pennsylvania 6-5000.

[SeattleGirl]

81. Oh Patsy!

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

19. Hello Everybody!!!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

25. Hi, Gigi

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

39. Hi Sharon!!

:hi: How are you and everyone? I'm so glad we came. Cassie says hi and that she was glad to see you.

[SharonRB]

48. I'm okay

It's now time to get back to normal. I'm glad Cassie (and you) came, too.

[SeattleGirl]

29. Hi Gigi!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

50. Hi SG!!

:hi: Gray and rainy here. How are you there?

[SharonRB]

53. It just started to storm here, Gigi

If it hasn't gotten to you yet, it probably will soon (actually, it probably got to you first). Sounds like it might be hailing.

[GigiMommy]

67. With our golden (Sophie), she would run upstairs and hide

then come back downstairs and look at me as if to say "Aren't you coming?" Freckles hasn't even noticed the weather. I hope she'll be fine.

[SeattleGirl]

57. Gorgeous here today. Supposed to be nice all weekend,

which is good, 'cause the lawn really needs mowing!

[SharonRB]

62. Most of the day was beautiful

71, sunny and breezy. The storm just finally moved in, much later than had been predicted. Tomorrow will be 46 and Sunday, 39. Gotta love April in Michigan.

[SeattleGirl]

65. Spring is pretty whacky around SeattleLand too.

I'm just hoping the forecast is correct!

[marlakay]

80. Hi, come on over...here in Leavenworth

supposed to be 73 tomorrow...for us that is very warm for this time of year. Only going to stay that for a few days.

[SeattleGirl]

83. Maybe I should.

I haven't been to Leavenworth in AGES!

[SeattleGirl]

38. Wait a sec! Obama's remarks were made DAYS AGO???

Holy freakin' shit! Now that DOES reek of desperation.

[Patsy Stone]

42. Yes, ma'am.

:eyes:

[SeattleGirl]

49. GRRRRRRRRRRR!

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[WolverineDG]

44. Eleven days, to be exact

whatcha wanna bet they were sitting on this to drop the bomb AFTER the debate & before the primary, but Bill running off at the mouth made them drop it today.

dg

[bleever]

51. (Insert Friday night Cialis joke here.)

Thank you for your cooperation.

[SharonRB]

55. John Dean!

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

59. Wheee!

And his tie isn't making my eyes pop out. Bonus!

[SeattleGirl]

60. Haven't seen him in awhile.

Glad he's on tonight!

[SharonRB]

61. "Give me that subpoena. I'll enforce the Hell out of it."

I love it.

[PageOneQ]

88. I want to help!

I will help with that!

[SharonRB]

90. And I'll help, too

:hi:

I tried to call you back the other night, but the circuits were busy.

[PageOneQ]

116. call me

[bleever]

69. Obama to address his PA remarks tonight in Indiana.

According to this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5461277

[Berry Cool]

75. GOOD. Take care of it RIGHT NOW so it doesn't have a million news cycles

to develop traction.

[Patsy Stone]

77. Gotta love that rapid response.

:thumbsup:

[bleever]

85. Things not to say

include:

"Cheese steak is an abomination unto the Lord."

"Larry Carlton was good, but not great."

"The Philly sound, in retrospect, wasn't all that."

[Patsy Stone]

94. LOL.

Hey! Your bell is cracked. Why don't you get that fixed? Idiots.

[bleever]

96. "Little spackle'd fix that right up."

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

99. "David Brenner? Not funny."

"Enough with Hall & Oates."

"Big soft pretzels with mustard? Hate 'em."

[Patsy Stone]

106. I was really sorry to see Michael Johns get voted off.

And McCain looked like an ass. Don't dis Simon if you want AI's voters, John. Make a note of it.

[bleever]

115. "And what the hell is a 'Nitanny' anyway?"

"The notion of religion for many of his people is that Cheez Wiz is Lard; Praise Cheez Wiz."

[ralps]

73. Awwww Boxing Kitty!!!

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

[SeattleGirl]

74. Hehe. Boxing kitteh!

[Berry Cool]

82. I think that's a fake.

As in, someone dangled a cat toy above the cat to get it to "box" and then placed a video of a TV boxing match in the background.

[SharonRB]

84. Fake or not, it had me laughing out loud n/t

[Berry Cool]

114. It WAS funny.

Perfect backdrop, either way.

[GigiMommy]

79. Is Keith have a BASEBALL jones going?

There sure are a lot of baseball references today.

[Berry Cool]

89. Ya think?????

Did he EVER do a #1 Best Persons that was THAT long???? :rofl:

Oh no, DANA MILBANK!!!!!! :rofl: Has he not learned his lesson????? :rofl:

[SharonRB]

86. I don't care what they say

That was a naked woman in Darth's sunglasses.

[Berry Cool]

93. Actually, the explanation given is one I completely buy.

But Cheney's glasses have become Rorschach blots for the nation.

Love how Dana said he couldn't address the subject of how much pleasure Dick derives from holding his rod.

[Patsy Stone]

98. The smile was the freakiest part.

:scared:

[SeattleGirl]

87. BWAHAHAHAHA!

Dana's glasses!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[SharonRB]

92. "It's an image of him holding his rod."

:rofl:

[bleever]

97. We ASSUME it's his.

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

103. OMG, Keith doing his Cheney impression!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It wasn't even so much the voice that did it. When the camera flipped back to Keith and showed him growling out the side of his mouth with those cocked eyebrows, on my TV screen here in the dark, I started peeing my pants!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

100. "Those who are tardy do not get fruit cup!"

:rofl: Oh, I love you, Keith!

[ralps]

101. Today's worst person in the world BillO for dissing new groups created by David

Brock! They're going after John McCain! BillO calls these groups Evil!! LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl: :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

102. When is that network going to go AWAY!!!!!!!

:banghead:

[bleever]

104. I was looking for something else, but have to share this:

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

107. KEITH, STOP IT!!!!!

Now he's doing Cronkite!!!!!

Who's he trying to be, Rich Little????

My panties aren't going to survive the rest of this show!

[SeattleGirl]

109. New keyboard!

:spray:

[WolverineDG]

117. TMI!!!

:scared:

dg

[ralps]

110. Hi bleever! Oh My that looks like one POed Kitty!

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

[SharonRB]

108. Fuck you, McCain

You call that snark?

[Berry Cool]

112. The Princess brought her tiara!!!

It's on the desk!!!

[SeattleGirl]

113. "Let's bring grandpa down from the attic."

:rofl:

[PageOneQ]

118. Call me crazy....

...But, I actually think McCain deserves a teeeeeeeeeny credit for being humorous. It was American Idol after all.

[bleever]

123. I do have to give him credit for that.

His delivery isn't too bad.

[Berry Cool]

119. Oh my gosh, what a riot.

I'm glad I recorded and watched this tonight. Obviously there will be no 10 pm Keith tonight.

Actually, this next show sounds good.

So, all Obama said was he understands why people in small towns are bitter and he wants to help?

Well, there you go. Make of THAT what they will.
