KOEB 10/6/05 (Do They Know It's Fitzmas?)

"Greetings, KOEB'ers!



"It's going to be an INTERESTING night on Countdown, and you know it. So don't forget to join us.

"Oh, and by the way, I am made of green cheese."

--K.O.

Countdown is about to start!

Here come the Repugs...and BOOM goes the dynamite!!

:hi: See you all later!

It's gonna be a great night, that's for sure.

I thought it was spare vertebrae? :)

:)

:hi:

He said Bob Wickman--Indians closer--was not the kind of guy who would test positive for steroids, but rather for spare ribs. (Wickman is built sort of like Keith. Only bigger, I think.)

Then Keith allowed as how he himself would test positive for spare ribs, too. (He didn't mention the spare vertebra.)

And the green cheese ref has to do with today's show too.

on edit: So does "BOOM goes the dynamite"...revealed on today's show as one of Keith's attempt at a catch phrase when he was 16.

I can't listen to it, and I'd have never known any of it. :hi:

His skepticism, honesty and curiosity is always a pleasure to watch. The guests were well-chosen and the whole show flowed beautifully.

:hi:

:loveya::loveya:

wasn't rw heads exploding? :evilgrin:

dg

Very nice.

:)

It's a shame KKKarl had to wait until Friday. Damn!

:hi:

I'd love to be a gorgeous fly on the wall for the testimony.

:hi:

Let the frog march begin.

:hi: Olney

Seeing it on TV really wouldn't do it justice. :)

Hi, Olney!

:hi:

He's gonna lie his way out of getting caught lying??

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Single spotlight; KKKarl dancing as fast as he can. Oh, a thing of beauty is a joy forever!

"C'mon...Big Finish!"

:rofl:

JAZZ HANDS!!!!

Good one, Berry.

:)

He ain't buyin'.


:rofl: again.

and kudos to ko for coming out & saying so! :loveya:

dg

I have to be in the city on Saturday, supposed to be pouring rain, and of course, as every New Yorker knows, you can't hail a cab in the rain, not if you want to get anywhere soon, so it'll be the subway for me.

The terror alert in NY is for the purpose of scaring those in Grand Rapids and Des Moines, it doesn't really work here, I doubt it works there either. What worries me is that they'll try the real thing if the fearmongering doesn't work anymore.

What do you want to bet, they'd do it on a line KO is riding...either to scare him or to knock him off...kill two birds with one stone!

(No, I did not just say that. The above was JUST a JOKE. I repeat. JUST a JOKE. They would NEVER DO THAT...)

Way to go, Keith.

:kick:

A.) It's really there.
B.) We have some sort of, kind of information that it's there; or
C.) An attempt to throw the press off the scent of Rove blood.


~Jeopardy music~



:)

But throw in DeLay and Katrina. :)

Hey, girl!

Nice night for rain, ain't it?

:hi:

I am lovin' this. All of it. Please let there be a Rove indictment. Please? That's all I want for Fitzmas. :)

You go, Keith.
You go, Craig!

:yourock:

Actually, I'll take Keith for no money at all. :loveya:

:rofl: Did he really just come out and say that this administration was NOT pulling another terror alert to divert attention..wink, wink I was just a coincidence.

:rofl:

Hiya Bleever :hug: It's been a long time.

on edit: oops

How are ya, WP?

:hug:

every time a lousy president tells him it's unsafe.

Besides, how the heck else is he getting to those Yankees games? I mean, come on!

Which reminds me...I know we're all in the throes of premature jocularity tonight, but don't be surprised if he doesn't show up tomorrow night...Rove or no Rove.

Tune in Countdown. See the Snarker in his native habitat!

It's a glorious night!

For KO and Craig: :loveya:

:hi:, seito!

NGU!

LOL! He just called *'s speech "white noise"! Oh, KO! :loveya:

but I am savoring every moment. It is wonderful to share these precious moments in the company of good friends.

:toast:and :grouphug:

This would make a good beer commercial, as we stand around and relish the fall of the house of Shrub like a great BBQ or dinner party.

Here's to good friends,
Tonight is kinda special.
The beer we pour,
Must be something more somehow,
So tonight, toniiiiiiight:
Let it be Lowenbrau.


:toast:

I'm with Mom & Dad, and we were watching Countdown together. When the blivet gets on, yammering on his speech, my mom turns to me, almost wild-eyed, and says "LOOK at him! He looks like a monkey!"
:rofl:

My mom NEVER says stuff like this, so to hear it come from her lips to God's ears....

Damn, I'm so proud of her. O8)

The thing that gets me about the blivet is his creepy smile, his teeth don't show and he looks kind of stupid and ......demonic at the same time. Just creepy. Its 'hard work' watching him to begin with, but when he smiles, my skin crawls. Ewww, I'm picturing it now.

So good to see your bunny tail back here! :toast:

Now get that nasty image out of your mind. I'd post pool pics, but I'm not at my computer, so I don't have the links handy.

to watch the rerun.

I never miss Keef, but I miss you guys when I can't post in real time.

I might be home tomorrow night, but I guess Keith's away? But I totally agree - the real joy is posting as it happens... kind of a mutual snark society.

Sob...... say it ain't so.
I love the Friday snark party.

i think it has something to do with baseball. Sshhhh.

Mr. Bunny is a big Yankee fan. I've had to beg to use the one set that has cable to watch KO. I mean beg, really.

You just watch.

that's the first thing that ran through my head. du is the only place i've seen shrubbie = monkey slams. :evilgrin:

hiya rev! :hi:

dg

Oh, wait - here's an idea: HE REALLY LOOKS LIKE A CHIMP!

The funny thing: as we were watching, they were really paying attention. Then a commercial, and then Oddball. My Dad looks at me and asks "why did you change the channel?" :)

I did get the impression that both of them were impressed with Keith's analysis of what was going on, his astute commentary, and the sharply pointed questions. Who knows? Maybe they'll become members of the KOEB - adjunct parental members.

if your parents became koeb members, though, would you have to, um, "behave" when they were around? :P

dg

Dad doesn't use the computer at all, and Mom thinks it's there to create greeting cards, keep her calendar, and play FreeCell.

TTTTB! :toast: :grouphug:

It's so much better than I thought it would be. Next, Frist.

Then the leaders of both chambers, *'s Brain, the VP's Chief of Staff, and who knows who else, charged with crimes.

So grab all the gusto you can!

:toast:

When you say KOEB...you've said it all!

:popcorn:

It's a little like watching a tennis match. My neck is beginning to hurt. :)

Nice to see ya :)

Another skeptic? :rofl:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: A couple of my favorite news guys.

Hiya Pats :hi:

Yes, he is a skeptic!

A perfect characterization of the newest platitudinous drivel that passed for a Presidential speech.

But especially, I appreciate him bringing up how * didn't want any debate prior to the war, and Robert Byrd asking why the Senate chamber was empty.

:thumbsup:

To the captions dept.! :toast:

:)

I do not want to see Katie Couric take a mammogram at 8 o'clock in the morning -- or ever!

ed: sp.

And she ain't NEVER gonna convince anyone that mammograms aren't that bad.

They ARE.

And she ain't NEVER gonna convince me that they are the solution to breast cancer!

as they did 15 years ago unless you have to go back for a spot compression. I can't imagine why we'd want to watch Katie Couric get a mammogram, though.

Abu Ghraib probably doesn't come close to the tortures of "spot compression."

And yes, mine squish plenty hard.

And I could tell you more stories, but I'm already way into TMI teritory.

:rofl:

to make you forget all about the vise that's soon going to be tightening in on Karl Rove's most sensitive parts...

myself get one, much less someone else! :hide:

dg

I have to agree. I think the suit was a shout out to you!

:hi:

as if.

back to mammograms, when i got one done the first time, i was like "wow i didn't know the girls could to THAT." :rofl:

dg

Vulcan mind-meld, even when not posting at the same time. :toast:

mamogram I'd just go slam my boob in the refrigerator door and it'd all come back to me.

She's so public servanty when she wants to be. Too bad she hasn't uttered a word about the administration that's been so toxic to our health for five years.

The fridge door doesn't have a screw to close it even tighter and tighter.

And the fridge door never says (:rofl:) "Now don't BREATHE."

set for a significantly shorter woman... that breaks right before your mammogram. No, I am not making this up. My first mammogram, of the "press until they scream" school, I was in a semi-crouching position... for several minutes :grr:

if you forgot (or in my case, didn't know) you were getting a mammogram that day & put on deodorant.....

dg

:rofl:

Love that.

:loveya: for Keef.

DU is going NUTS with delight over Keith and his "13 incidents" list.

Expect tonight to be another big hit for KO video on the Internets!

Tell all your friends to watch the re-air too!

:loveya: Keith. Lookin' gorgeous, kickin' butt, and again, you all know the names!

:evilgrin:

:loveya:

dg

eleven, and all in the gray suit.

Fitzmas ..... love it
QuagMeir ..... sweet
Fresh apple cider ....... mmmmmmm

* today had the unmitigated gall to bring up one of bid Laden's
failings was that he was a son from a privileged background.

ASSHAT.

that is caused by these alerts.

He's blazing new territory here.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

He also addressed playing politics with terror; a subject no one wants to touch. Kudos!

:loveya: for Keith. I imagine most New Yorkers are cynical enough to realize someone is jerking their chain, but they still shouldn't have to go through this needless worry and they shouldn't be wasting resources on unnecessary vigilance. One of these days, a credible threat's going to come along and the authorities might under-respond out of cynicism; Not Good.

I have to admit, I've been suspicious of the RW backlash, but maybe it's real.

I still don't want her on the SC.

no one has run any story regarding the ethical problems & fines that occurred at her law firm, allegedly under her name or with her name mentioned, while she was a partner of it!! i think crispy's going nuts.

dg

another excuse to not support her.

and then spewed on. I still don't believe completely that the outrage over Miers, the Quagmier if you will, is not something orchestrated by the RW. I guess I'm suspect of everything at this point. Can you blame me? I do think he needs to get her in there, along with Roberts, to adjudicate his problems away should all the scandals and criminal cases hit the high court. He's desperate enough not to care much if he's pissed off the fundaholic base, that's secondary to saving his own skin I'd think.

:scared:

I only watched the first half of the show. Couldn't miss Will & Grace. The first half was wonderful, though.

i just hopped back online. :) :hi:

dg

How you doing tonight?

i got smacked with a hell of a cold this week & today is the first day i didn't have a headache or sore throat. :( i did, however, have a 3 hour nap & almost missed countdown. oh well, one more night of nyquil & i'll be right as rain. :)

dg

Seems like a lot of people caught something in DC. Tularemia? Just kidding. I have a headache, but otherwise I'm okay.

yeah, i saw all those posts about tularemia & how 2 dc protestors may have contracted it at the protest so i should "go get tested NOW." :eyes: 2 out of 300K-500K is a small number. of course people were going to get sick....exposed to all kinds of germs from all over everywhere on saturday, not to mention all the germs on the trains & planes.....since i didn't get sick until a week after, i'd have to say it's some local bug that got me. :( no fancy tests ordered & paid for by the cdc for me....

dg

You will enjoy the punishment...trust me!

What's going on with Will and Grace? I haven't watched in a while.

Happy New Year doll. I hope you had a nice time with the family.

How'd that go? I haven't mentioned a word to my * voting relatives. I figure they KNOW what I'm thinking.

I went up at 10 to watch ER.

Happy New Year to you and your hubby as well. Dinner with my folks went as well as could be expected. We talked politics, but it didn't get too bad.

no one's 'fessing up to knowing who sartre was?

dg

I just don't want to give you nausea by talking about him.

but i've never been interested in philosophy :boring: to say more on the subject than that.

dg

Hi everybody!

Keith was magnificent tonight.

My favorite line: 'I think that's what they do in Iran.' Kudos to Keith for covering that Duval County, Fla-la-la story. I just finished writing letters to my school board and the government requesting my child's name not appear on recruiter's lists. Unbelievable that they are trying to manipulate parents and kids in this county, and threaten kids with no honor roll, no sports, and no yearbook picture.

Liked the Quagmier and Miered in Controversy headlines.

KO was adorable with his opening gambit about NYC Subway terrorist threat, 'just a 'coincidence', really' 12 coincidinkies and counting.

Liked Mo Rocca's anagrams especially the last one about Sartre, can't remember it exactly Sartresheir.... OK, I'm no good with remembering anagrams but I do know who Sartre was KEITH. Never speak down to your loyal KOEBs.

I forgive you.


BTW L'Shana Tova everyone, and if Rove and Co. gets indicted (and convicted) it really will be a happy New Year.

I, too, know who Sartre was. :)

Indictments maybe not until next week, since KKKarl's not doing his softshoe until tomorrow, although the suspense is killing me. I loved O'Donnell and his explanation of the phone call Fitz's office made. LOL!

It will be the best New Year's ever if that happens. Did you see the thread in GD by this father who promised to take his son to see Karl do the perp walk in person? One of the replies was, "You're the best dad, ever!"

Recruiters are scary and the government is scarier.

NGU!

they won't come out until tuesday at the earliest. monday is a federal holiday. :(

dg

How's by you?

I didn't see that thread in GD. That's funny. My kids, not so political, guess it's because their mom is a wonk. They've got to rebel you know.

O'Donnell was great, he really makes you feel as if he's in the know, and he probably is. After all, he's the one that blew Karl's cover a few months ago.

I sure hope that Fitz hands down indictments asap, I'm a little scared of what these cornered rats will do to stall for time or to change the headlines.
:scared:

One of my cats, the little silky gray one (like the suit), Dusty Springfield, has taken to watching Countdown with me. She has a little pillow that she parks herself on right next to me, and she arrives every night that I watch at precisely eight o'clock, and then leaves the room when Countdown's over. Tres adorable.

I knew she was smart, just didn't know she was that smart.

I remember CC saying that Gizmo liked watching Keith with her, too. Who says animals aren't smart?

(My cats usually get up and run out of the room if I don't turn off Reeter right away.)

with that VOICE. I'd never scare my cats like that.

Have you noticed that the network doesn't even let Rita's voice be heard now in her own commercials. Send her back to Fox please.

likes to park on the couch with me during countdown. and as for rita, well, all i see/hear of her show is "thanks keith" >>click<<.

:evilgrin:

have you noticed they're touting btb's show again?
