Off-year Election Night Thread - KOEB 11/8

Hello, everyone.

:hi:

My mouse died just as I started the thread. I had to put new batteries in. I'm back now.

:rofl: Bay-Airs right off the bat!

Hi, everyone :hi:

:hi: from Berry After the Show!

No, I wasn't frolicking last night, just got too busy...

Dancin' as fast as he can, but cannot outdance the snark of Helen Thomas or David :loveya: Gregory!

Gaddummit, that pisses me off.

At least Keith's given us Ethics Puppet Theatre! :)

I truly was :rofl:

:loveya: Keith for making me laugh myself silly.

so far Issues 2, 3, 4, & 5 are all going down (they are all election
reform issues)
How the hell can a Governor w/ a 19% approval rating campaign
against these issues and win? Answer crooked voting machines.

We are loosing @ 2 to 1 in democratic counties?????

Holy shit - when is Ohio going to riot?

the #s make no sense! We are running 1.5 to 1 or 2 to 1 against the
issues in very democratic areas .....

No way these are legit.

I worked for these issues and got very good response .....

I could go and do real damage tonight. Ohio is so fucking corrupt.

...if I have anything to do with it.

He figures, he stole one election, he can steal another to make sure he stays in power.

http://www.sos.state.oh.us/results/CountyBreakdown.aspx?issuenum=2

how can these democratic issues be going down so big in democratic
counties? look now because I guarantee by the morning the #s from the
democratic counties will be much tighter ...... Covering their tracks!

This state is just too fucking dirty!

Please let Tom Noe or Nye or somebody cause the truth to get out.

Any time the press corps asks Puffy for answers and truth, all he has to do is accuse them of not having the interests and safety of "the American people" at heart.

Uh-oh. That one's not only transparent but, as Keith said, a BAD idea when one considers the current mood of "the American people" toward what their best interests are.

he remains while questioning Scot's bold face lies. He just folds his arms in front of him and goes after him. It's a beautiful thing.

It really is getting uncomfortably Ziegleresque during these press conferences.

next to Keith, of course, but still... :loveya::loveya::loveya:

As if I were in the press corps!

I was yelling "Scott, quit giving me that crap. Quit trying to frame me as an enemy of the American people, when all I'm trying to do is get at the truth while you try to hide it!"

Yes, I was speaking FOR the press!

where I just went...

:rofl:

You LIVE there, chickee. :evilgrin:

ROOMMATE!

The White House Press Corps was kicking Scotty's ass today!

:) Hi, Catgirl :hi:

:rofl:

:rofl:

Ethics Class Puppet Theatre! That was great.

they backed Helen
That last woman reporter was great
who is she?

The African American? That was totally cool and unlike her. She is normally softbally.

Hi everyone!

Happy to see people like her asking the some good questions

Keef is doing a great job tonight so far.

I watched the little Snottie press conference this afternoon, but KO's highlights were just jaw droppingly wonderful to see. The press has teeth, finally. How long can Scottie continue being a 'lying sack of crap'(cue song)?

I wish he wasn't talking to Howard Fineman about it but oh well.

See you during the commercial.
Ethics class puppet theater, hysterical, with the Nixon head taped to the blackboard.

and I'm very nervous about the evil moran who is running neck-and-neck with Kaine for governor.

:scared:

He scares me over here in Maryland.

With almost 64% of the vote in, Kaine is up by almost 5 percentage points and has been for a while.

representative of the whole state.

Hopefully he can keep the lead.

We HAVE to get rid of him in 2008- so come on over- we need your vote!!!!!!

Ehrlich gives me the galloping creepies. Any all friendly, sane voters are more than welcome to join us in Maryland.

Do they dare try it again right now?

Never mind, I know the answer to that question.

I'm worried here in Joisey because we are apparently not doing exit polls here. What proof do we have when they tell us it's neck and neck here (which it really shouldn't be, 65% against Bush and his party in this state).

to get my vote to record. The screen did finally show the correct vote, but who knows whether that was actually tabulated?

2006 we will be getting the dreaded computerized screens too. I think the freeholder's in our county did insist that there be a verifiable paper trail for all new machines purchased for this county, not sure what has happened in the rest of the state. We might have to have another tea party and toss those machines overboard if they try and steal the '06 race.

optical scans that work a little differently this time. The whole state got the same machines. Now, instead of connecting the arrows, we just fill in an oval.

We only had two unopposed city council candidates and you vote for two. I don't know why they even bothered to spend the money for the election. We went when I got home from work, and we were only the 34th and 35th voters in our precinct all day. When I told my neighbor I couldn't walk with her because I had to vote on the way home, she said "I'm supposed to vote?" She didn't even know we had anything on the ballot and she's pretty informed.

elections. Like who the Governor is won't effect your life in your particular state. Amazing.

He's a lying sack of crap
He's a lying sack of crap....

Sometimes he is best when he is subtle!

have won!:woohoo: :patriot:

I had a dream about him last night. :7

;)

:hi:

I suspected last night that the woman who said it sounded as if someone in the stall was "sick" was the one with thr true story. The one who ended up getting slugged out for her pains was probably drunk as a skunk herself and it didn't occur to her in her inebriated state that even if two people are in a stall together, if you hear moans coming from the stall, it could just be because someone is REALLY sick and someone else is holding her hair, if you know what I mean. End of story.

"cheerleaders engaged in numeric relations in a bar bathroom" falls into the category of "stories I begged my producers to let me do". :7

I guess I was surprised that it got the #1 spot Monday - and then on Tuesday, BOTH parts of the story get "mea culpa'd".

A little eager, eh fellas?

the patriotism of any reporter that questions him and indicating that they are out of touch with the American people if they expect answers. He is despicable ( insert best Daffy Duck voice here).

He thppppppittths better than Tweety.

"dethhhhhhhhpickable"

Sorry bunny-

This Chris Hanson used to be on local news here.

And it was such a DUMB tactic to use. Maybe last year it would have worked. Not with the way things are right now. Uh-uh.

It's very disturbing.

I saw the rabbi.

around here is in a state of shock.

Do your friends know him?

involving pedophiles in all religions (and probably atheists, agnostics, etc. as well). The Freedom From Religion Foundation reports on "Black Collar Crime" in is monthly newsletter and there is never a shortage of these reports, very sad to say.

Supposedly upstanding citizens. Disgusting.

Fortunately, he never had an inappropriate encounter.

I wish I hadn't watched it. I'm sick. I only caught it after naked guy came on the scene (stairs you know) but watching him was enough. It was clear when he sat in that kitchen that he was a pathological liar, I wasn't surprised at all that he was back at the next day. He's 43, he's probably been molesting children for 20 years. So frightening.

but I couldn't help but think...that first guy looks like he has other problems. He twitched and stuttered a lot. I wonder if he has something like Tourette's syndrome. People with Tourette's are not known for impulse control. Or maybe it had made him a social misfit and as a result he had turned to the Internet and children.

Please don't think I am trying to justify these creeps' behavior in any way. It just seems to me that some of them could have a story that goes deeper than "I'm a sicko who wants to do it with kids."

just the behavior of an abusive, perverted creep who got caught dead to rights. i've seen that kind of behavior often, usually when said abusive, perverted creep is standing in front a judge. the behavior gets even weirder when said judge is female & perv has a problem dealing w/women authority figures.

dg

whereas with true Tourette's you'd see it all the time, right?

the stories i could write about all the drama queens in court. usually a simple "do you like your enchiladas on wednesday?" (that's when the jail serves them) is enough to set the perv straight.

sometimes it's really hard to keep a straight face (courtroom decorum & all) until i get to my car or office.

weathering the contested divorce of a close friend. People ask me if it was bitter. I tell them "surreal" would be a better descriptor. Most divorces don't begin with a proposed settlement consisting of real estate you don't actually own. :P

The mesage to the WH would be undeniable- unmistakeable..... unbay-airable.

I hate that the lead is getting slimmer.

still uncounted.

I can't stand the suspense!

So little bear-related literature....

..... what sick f*** writes about screwing a dead deer?

Just proves that the repug leaders play with the Christian vote
for elections but down deep they have some major skeletons
in their closets.

Gannon was into real freaky stuff .... flipping & twisting ....
pitching and catching and he was an overnight guest @ the
White House too.

Rep. Shockley (SP???) of Virginia most have known about
the "leather and pain" lovers because when he was trolling on line
for Gay Sex he said he wasn't into the "hardcore stuff."

Good thing that they were all over that nasty b.j. and Monica.

Ohio tonight :cry: No way was that vote clean on issues 2, 3, 4, & 5
we were going down @ better then 2 to 1 in democratic counties!

in Scooter's book, we also have a bear screwing a 10-year-old girl. So hey, if a bunch of men screw a dead deer, at least there are several consenting adults in the picture.

Seriously, though, I see a scary pattern: It seems as if in all the sex being described in this lovely tome, a theme runs throughout: helpless creatures being violently raped. Either because:

1. they're children and thus can't give consent
2. they're caged and thus can't give consent
3. they're children in a cage up against a Bay Air and thus can't give consent
4. they're animals and thus can't give consent
5. they're caged animals and being poked with a stick and thus can't give consent
6. they're dead and thus can't give consent
7. they're dead animals and thus can't give consent

Multiple partners, or gang bangs, also seems to be a big theme.

So the joke about how this relates to Republican behavior is...well, it just writes itself.

That was such a funny segment. I love Andy Borowitz. Thom Hartmann reads from the Borowitz report practically everyday, one of our best political satirists. Really top notch show tonight.
I was so happy Keith mentioned Rick Santimonioustorum's fear of gay sex leading to man on animal sex. That kind of hypocrisy is really crying out to be skewered.

Bravo Keef.

:hi:

:wow: what a show. i loved the whole "roasted spokesliar" segment. i think steph will go back to calling him chummy mcsharkbait. and even i, with my lousy 2 semesters of journalism, know that you don't get the reporters back on your side by insulting them. they had him cornered, he knew it. all he had left in his bag o'tricks was ad hominum attacks. for a second there, i thought scotty was going to cry. :cry: where are you jeff, when i need you most? :cry:

the pedophiles--damn, that was hard to watch. those creeps are sick sick sick...did you notice the "operation iraqi freedom" shirt on the nekkid guy when he showed up at mcd's?

libby's book--lots of repression going on there....

dg

The parts that weren't funny...well. Some were horrifying. (Yes, I did notice the "Operation Iraqi Freedom" T-shirt. We're all for Iraqi freedom, but kids' freedom from predators...forget that.)

And the parts that were funny were hilarious.

Would've changed just one part. Keith made a reference in Oddball to "Prague, Czechoslovakia." Uh, Keith, Czechoslovakia hasn't existed in quite some time. You mean "Prague, Czech Republic."

That was Keith's Central and Eastern European geography lesson for today. In next week's lesson, Keith will learn to stop putting a "The" in front of "Ukraine," as if it is just a region rather than a country all on its own. :rofl:

Never mind, we saw him first. Eat your hearts out Kossacks.

He is a news/talk show God. They are just catching on?

but i do like this comment:

I <3 Keith (none / 0)

Keith Olbermann is my guilty pleasure. His show is news porn for thinking women.

What's to feel guilty about?

Second: what is "porn" about his show (besides Scooter's book and Hideki Matsui's suitcase, that is)?

'the thinking woman' starts to have dirty thoughts about what she'd like to do to him and with his wooly caterpillars.
:evilgrin:

Never... :rofl:

OK. So, some of us thinking women have such thoughts.

But whatever is there for us to feel GUILTY about for having them? :evilgrin:
