KO on KC: "How can we miss you if you won't go away?"
Olbermann: my partnership with Dan Patrick was listed as the 53d greatest "moment" in TV history (according to somebody). The today show's ONLY mention was J. Fred Muggs. Our goodbye lasted 35 seconds--cut to 15 so they could get to a volleyball clip. Katie Couric's been saying goodbye for FIFTY SIX DAYS! -- emphasis his

1. pretty funny conspiracy nexus surrounding the Bush/Killian memos
that resulted in Rather's firing/Kouric's hiring

at the center of the nexus?

Boy George!

7. Here's a brief rundown:
Edited on Wed May-31-06 08:20 PM by BerryBush
--Killian memos, and their exposure by alert bloggers, allegedly helped hasten Dan Rather's departure from CBS News
--resulting in Katie Couric being hired away from the Today Show to replace him
--resulting in Meredith Viera being hired away from The View to replace her
--resulting in Rosie O'Donnell being hired to replace her
--resulting in Star Jones possibly losing her job if Rosie won't work with her (actually peripheral to all this, but he threw it in anyway)

Now. What was Rosie doing before she got hired for The View?

Producing the Boy George musical "Taboo." Which flopped.

So, with that and her TV show over and her magazine folding, she had no job.

So. Who worked EVERYTHING out so that Rosie could get a job again?



You got it.

At least in the world according to :tinfoilhat: Keith.

5. she makes me sick.
I can't stand to watch her. She thinks she's cute. Who is "KatEEEE" at her age anyway? Why not Kate or Katherine. Her lipstick doesn't match her gums. I'll stop, but I don't want to.

9. I wonder if she will go overboard in search of
gravitas? It will be interesting to see her try to morph into Barbara Walters or something...(I will miss Bob Shieffer.)

13. when did she aquire the scratchy whiskey voice?
I watched her ten years ago and she didn't have it. I tuned in a few times this year and thought she had a cold that would not go away. Then there is her blatant RW bias which screams from her face! For craps sakes! From uncle walter to this piece of shit? How far we have fallen in murika.

:(

15. "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away?" . . .
"How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away?" --
Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks


I've talked to your mother and I've talked to your dad
They say they've tried but it's all in vain
I've begged and I've pleaded, I've even got mad
Now we must face it, you give me a pain

Chorus:

How can I miss you when you won't go away?
I keep telling you day after day
But you won't listen, you always stay and stay
How can I miss you when you won't go away?


Your never-ending presence really cramps my style
I dream that it won't always be the same
At first I was attracted, but after a while
Have you ever heard of the hard-to-get game?

repeat chorus, instrumental break for a verse and chorus

Out of 3 billion people, why must it be me?
Why oh, why won't you cut me loose?
Just do me a favor and listen to my plea
I'm not the only chicken on the roost

repeat chorus
