21. Hey, Pats
KO may have been right about the Tigers in his blog. The Tigers have won their first two games and today was by 14-3. Maybe they're actually good this year if they stay healthy.

Just look out. KO thinks he is the king prognosticator of baseball, but he is not always right. Maybe he will be this time. Who knows? :shrug:

:hi: I should have come on here and predicted which shirt and tie Keith would be wearing. You'd all think I was a genius. (Truth: Dan and Keith gave it away today on Dan's show. They were both in New York and Dan commented on his clothes.)

This is gonna be a weird night! Back After the Show!

20. Yeah, and I personally am sick of it.
I'm also getting, frankly, a little annoyed by the fact that Keith seems to be the reason they are running it over and over. It's like he thinks it's the funniest thing in the world.

I can't fathom why.

I actually got home about 7:30, but wanted to just watch the first part of the show for a change. Was it my imagination or was Michael Viquiera wearing a Garcia tie?

Regardless, I hate the Today show, and I don't watch any evening news except Countdown.

So, doesn't affect me...

If you saw the original (larger size),
you'd see the detail in the eyes: black pupil, surrounded by blue, then a slate-blue, to give it the illusion of steel blue eyes. I changed the stripes on the tie after Keith wore the outfit, since I had the topknot stripes going the wrong way. Oh, and I darkened the earpieces on his glasses, too.

I wonder if Keith ever saw it.
HEY, KEITH: IF YOU'VE SEEN MY SOUTHPARK VERSION OF YOU, PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE... BY WEARING THE GARCIA TIE!!!

81. Man, if you put in THAT much work on it, I suppose you could make the hair
more realistically gray, too. :-)

But then again, maybe you think it's better to go easy on the Keefster. :loveya:

As for the ties...hey, don't give up hope. One never knows.

38. Hello, KOEBies
:hi: On a rare occasion, I am at home watching the 5:00 Countdown "live." :loveya: :loveya:

Craig Crawford's take on DeLay bugged me. How would it have been better for Democrats for him to continue doing his dirty deeds? Sure, the election would have been easier, but unlike Iraq and Saddam, we really are better off without him. He's a Bad Man.

And how does it make Republicans look good in any way? It's not like they stood up to him and condemned him and tossed his ass out. Grrrr.

That crap about it being better for him to have stuck around is the same as that crap about Hillary being unstoppable. Guerilla marketing.

And it's been a good week, eh? The unraveling continues.

79. Hi, Berry!
Yeah, I've been working until 7 or 8 at night for months. The only reason I managed to get out early tonight was a dental appointment. :) When I watch later in the evening, my comments have all been made. ;)

I'm also taking an evening Russian class (which I'm dashing off to right now), so I've been missing a lot of Keith. :cry:

50. Hi Blaue!
I agree with you completely about DeLay. I posted a similar thought the other day. It is more important that AMERICANS are rid of
him, not Dems.

The repugs talking point was that DeLay was "gifted."

Do you live in the Bay Area? I love California.

96. Yeah, he's gifted...
in much the same way as Cunningham was gifted.

93. I think this was an inside the Beltway/outside the Beltway thing
the thinking seems to be that with Delay out of office, all their problems will magically vanish. If the Dems talk about it, the R's will claim that it's partisan politics because Delay is history. Problem is, there is so much corruption among the R's right now, I don't think it's going to matter. The average Joe doesn't follow politics second-by-second and may not care that much whether Delay is still in office. Hell, the average Joe knows a ploy when he sees one.

I think the whole business is kind of like a litter box smell if you've gone away for a long weekend and left multiple cats to their own devices: you can clean the box the minute you get back, but that smell's gonna be hanging around for a while. ;-)

41. Harry Shearer coming up -- too bad he can't mention Tweety's
off-air flirting with Tom DeLay, after posting it on HuffPo.


:(

I'm hoping Keith will bring it up. :)

52. I'm guessing it's out bounds, since a colleague is involved, but
I might be wrong...

60. He could have approached it by asking
what he thought about DeLay as a possible Simpsons' character. Then Harry could have said whatever he wanted. That would have been fun. :)

70. That would make a great opening for Harry, and yet knowing they're both
sensitive and exceptionally bright, they might have known it would be too telegraphed no matter how they did it.

:hi:

48. It's scary that Keith does a wicked good Mr. Burns.
One might even say "ex-cellent."

59. So what else is new?
I wish they'd cancel her already. She's beyond worthless.

75. Oh, but haven't you heard, she's the new hit show on MSNBC!
:rofl: Yeah, it's like I said on another thread last night: Keith is the meat in a sandwich where you're much better off throwing the two slices of bread away and just eating the meat. So to speak. :evilgrin:

84. Tee hee.
:hi:I was there for the "meat in the sandwich" remark, BerryBush.
Dontcha know I screamed out loud tonight when Rita initially started off with the Duke student's email. I was positive she was going to lead off with that story. I KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO MENTION IT FIRST!! (sorry for shouting). Then she goes in to more Natalee Holloway stuff. Give it a rest, Rita!:banghead:
I thought the McKinney stuff wasn't too bad, consider what crap I've read elsewhere on DU.

88. It really wasn't too bad
and it was fairly evenhanded. He didn't even jump on the story right away when it broke.

But of course, what happens but in some circles he gets criticized for covering it AT ALL. As if he didn't make the DHS sex scandal his top story over that. As if he never reported on how badly things are going in Iraq.

Some people amaze me. Either someone's gotta have his news show set up exactly the way they would have it, or they stop liking him altogether. So eager to throw out the baby with the bathwater that it amazes me they don't trip over their own self-righteousness.

72. What a joke.
actually, back to Keith...has anyone ever used "Flintstone" as a verb before?

flint-stone v. i. To fail at the box office, despite being a film adaptation of a popular television program; said of motion pictures. A movie version of The Apprentice seemed like a sure-fire hit, but it flintstoned after only a few weeks in the theaters.

95. mind-blowing...
So, is it that her mind is small, and therefore easily blown, or have the nose jobs made it easier for her brains to fall out? :shrug:
