Is anyone else watching Countdown right now?
Edited on Mon Dec-22-08 08:48 PM by jenmito
Keith is doing a review of the presidential campaign right now. It's giving me the same feelings I had after each of Obama's wins, losses, controversies, etc. They're showing his speeches from the very beginning. He has been nothing if not consistent in his message. His picks for his cabinet, his administration, and even his choice for the speaker for his invocation should be no surprise to anyone.

Luckily it's repeated 2 times tonight. :hi:

2. Yep, one for the ages.....
.... esp. the clip from that IA debate where Barack says, "I'm looking forward to having you advise me as President" and that look that comes across her face.

Good stuff.

4. I loved the first part and the SNL compilation segment was AWESOME!
:rofl:

I assume this is the show they will be showing over and over and over again over the next couple of weeks. I'm enjoying it so far. :D

6. They just finished an SNL review segment
Hilarious. The segment finished with Keith saying, "And. Then. They. Crossed. The. Line."
And he proceeded to show a clip of Ben Afleck imitating Keith.

16. Not only because we voted for him...

YES WE DID!

17. So Obama slaps key members of his base in the face
after a big electoral loss on a measure on their rights on a routine basis?

Yes, I am surprised. I believed Obama had more compassion to a constiuency that is constantly shit on by politians than this.

and you posted this so you asked for my response.

20. Obama was against Prop 8. That's not slapping key members of his base in the face.
And he's for gay rights (except for marriage which is sad but well-known). If you watched the show you'd realize he's being true to who he always claimed to be by picking Warren to give the invocation.
