KOEB Meeting: 6/19/06 -- President Gore and Welcome Back, Keith! Edition

:hi, all!

Will he address the e-mail bruhaha?



ed: picture and :loveya::loveya:

Doesn't sound like it from the newsletter.

I hope we find out what's up with that chazerai.

:hi:, Sharon! Nice to see you here. :)

and I'm lucky to be here. Go see my other thread in the clubhouse. I died for a little while today.

Did you meet all of our dear departed friends? :rofl:

I wasn't gone long enough. Less than a half hour and I was back up and running.

Glad to have you back though! I about died when I saw that tombstone!

:hi:

dg

But just for a short while.

I'm back.

That didn't sound like something you'd do. Just a technical glitch tombstoning.
Glad you survived it.

I thought maybe all the posts I was doing about voting for Nancy in all of the state forums was verboten, but it wasn't. I was just doing them too quickly and it triggered an automatic suspension of my privileges. Earl fixed me up right quick!

Of course, check out that thread in the Iowa forum. I could easily have gotten into it with someone, but I tried to be civil in my answer. Some people are just so infantile and spiteful.

:hi: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

How's things this evening? :hi:

I hate the look tonight.

Less gray, and new glasses? Did the Queer Eye guys give him a makeover?!

Even hubby noticed the hair, though.

:wtf:

:hi: all. Here late, forced to work late. Glad I set a tape.

Looks like he's not going to address anything. Which can only mean one thing: every word Lloyd Grove and Jossip published is true and he's embarrassed as all hell about it--but as far as he's concerned, he apologized, and it got little to no publicity anyway, so he's not even going to address it and tell way more people than already know. As far as he's concerned, it's over.

Unless he says something, that's the impression I'm left with.

Anyone else?

I still think he looks wonderful tonight. I love the new glasses and I love it when he does his own hair and the MSNBC gals don't get to hit him with the orange Pan-cake. One of the advantages of 30 Rock.

that he doesn't want to give oxygen to what is essentially a non-story. Sure, we're talking about it, but it's not exactly consuming national headlines. If he blogs about it or talks about it, it will get true national attention, and not in a gossip column. So I think his not mentioning it doesn't give us any information one way or the other as to whether the story had any basis in fact.

Liked the tie and shirt but not with that suit. :puke:

great!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

Who is this guy? He's got Greg Proops' hair and glasses tonight:

You're being mean now.

But I don't think Keith needs to look like him. :hi:

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

:hi:

like he usually is...*sigh*

he needs bigger frames to balance that big old head.
well, look what i found in the depths of my photobucket!
:hi:
:loveya:

:hi:

go!
:hi:

Hola!

spanish for that reason.
i saw you TS'd yourself. working it little too hard, eh?
funny!
:loveya:

If Nancy wins the DFA poll it'll be worth it. Remember to vote for her -- she's been in first place all day in the runoff.

Type it in, and get the diacritical marks.

¡Hola!

It's been a while!

:hi:, be! :loveya:

:hi: pats!
:loveya:

KO is back!

:woohoo:

Although I listened to Brian this morning because I missed him Friday (just was really beat and fell asleep) and was very impressed with his Murtha interview. Good on you, Brian.

But boy, am I relieved that it doesn't look as if we are getting any celeb babies tonight. Maybe we won't--or will get only dribs and drabs.

Admin. has to up the Fear Factor for the election season!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

Who knew? :shrug:

That's all I care about :loveya:

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

:toast: Did I hear him say "you can say anything here (msnbc)"...:rofl:

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :shrug:

Keith needs to lose those new glasses!

:hi:

:hi:

I even got similar ones because I liked the look of hardly being able to tell one is wearing glasses.

I guess that makes me the only one.

BerryBush, did you see the story about Kerry pushing the troop withdrawal to July 2007? Why did he do that?
They were skewering him on Harpballs tonight.

It's hard work. :-)

I have no clue. All I know is I caught the end of Harpballs on my radio and thought "What the hell are these idiots talking about?"

Those glasses have got to go!


:hi:, WHD!

:hi:

What a great night! Keith and Al together! I met Al a couple of weeks ago. Wow.

I may have an opportunity in the fall. I thought it might be this summer, but now if it happens it probably won't be until September or October.

I love it :hi:

Love the KITH!

these frames have to go.

tonight. If it weren't for the threat of flooding, I'd be driving my kid to see a teenager kind of band at a local club. I was so tired and missed Keith so much, I was glad for the excuse to stay home. My neighborhood streets flood a little, but my home is safe.

Thanks for asking - Houston covers a wide area. I'm on pretty high ground.

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

from "home"!

He must know how much we love it and miss it when he doesn't do it. Either that, or he was really in the mood to do it.

God, how I missed him! :loveya:

That was the saddest thing...

:hi:, sister!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

:hi: ladies and the men who love us.

Sorry I'm late to the party, but I'm just in time for the best part of the show.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Love the whole outfit.

Why not !? LOL..

He is funny and warm and everything you'd expect him to be. Tipper is great too. How sad for the country he isn't in the White House.

:loveya:

And it makes me sad...

He's got naturally curly hair and he used to wear it very short to keep it under control. I think I like it better a bit "fluffier."

:loveya: to both.

Funny, now we have a story about bullies...do you think this is KO's little way of making a statement? :rofl:

I just wish there was no Britney tonight...

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Please run in '08. If not, would you consider being head of the EPA?

dg

My heart's not in this tonight.

I saw my boss (who's fighting cancer) at Mass yesterday. He looked great, and sounded fantastic.

Today, we got a call from his wife. He started getting sick last night, and passed out on his way to work this morning. He's home resting, but we don't know yet how this will impact in the long run.

I guess this is to be expected; we were told that it's the second chemo round that puts you on your butt. Still, he was doing SO great...I guess we got our hopes up.

It puts all of KO's brouhaha in perspective, that's for sure... :(

This is the stuff that cuts to the bone. I feel for him and for you.

Even if they don't know about the 900+ peer-reviewed papers and articles on the subject, how can they NOT think that cars and factories and tons of people aren't polluting and causing global warming.

Seems to me that it's just common sense.

"It's not really all that common."

edited to add: I've said it before and I'll say it again: Most Americans would rather die than admit that their car driving has any sort of negative impact on the planet. Ask the average heterosexual person if he'd rather be gay or give up his car, and chances are he'd say gay.

I'm serious.

darn it looks as if Al Gore won't run in 2008. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :cry:

I still don't believe Al will run for president.

I think he's over politics - and who can blame him.

Now... that said... I've been wrong before (take my first husband, for example, even though I got a wondermous child out of that union) and I could be.

I'd be thrilled with a Clark, Gore and/or Feingold run.

If only because Dubya has screwed things up so bad that we need him. He says he has no plans to run, but I have hope.

I won't hit you over the head, as I'm slowly, sadly coming to the same conclusion. I hope he changes his mind, but if not, maybe he would accept Secretary of the Interior or head of the EPA. He wants to be somewhere he can make a difference and in one of those positions under a Democratic president, he could. I'm in the same camp as you, pretty much. Any combination of Gore, Clark, Feingold. Maybe Kerry, but I'd have to know he could win again this time.

I hope we're all wrong, but time will tell.

If Al thinks he can do more good as a private citizen working to address global warming, then that's what he'll do. Tonight he clearly said if we don't start doing something rapidly, in ten years none of the politics will matter anyway.

and the same goes for Hillary. Both are too polarizing (Hillary more so than Al). I believe his statement's tonight were sincere and that he will be more persuasive if people can't dismiss his arguments by saying that he's just running for something.

the tug of emotion so many people felt seeing you on SNL, and reflecting on how much better the world would be had you become president?

Nice job, KO.

I think he thinks that's a been there, done that thing. He wants to do other useful things.

I liked KO's crack asking whether his own hot air contributes to global warming. See, this is why we love him: he can laugh at himself. Can anyone imagine Bill-O making a joke about his own hot air?

Even if he doesn't want to, he knows it's his calling, and he's a man who answers when destiny calls.

Rock Center? He just made a reference to Gore's SNL skit "in this building" !?

Kewl.

And he's rockin' this interview with Gore.

And they're in some studio where they actually have more than one lousy camera, so they could switch back and forth between the two of them, show wide shots of them together, and...incidentally..show the paper toss. :loveya:

Of course, I keep getting more and more doubtful that Gore will run.

And her answered the Hillary question as I would have expected, very non-committal, but that he'll support whoever the Dem candidate is. Well done!

He's not even addressing this. Must be a reason. I say it's the truth of some of it, combined with not wanting to lend credence to the false part of the crap or spread it around more. Because he realizes he never should have stepped into the trap.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Crying for what might have been, of course

From how he asked him how he could not run to how he pulled at emotions in the SNL skit.

Two class acts together. You very rarely, like never, get to see those kind of thoughtful, respectful interviews anymore in what passes for our media.
Bravo Keith and Bravo Al

Even just seeing the little facial expressions he makes...damn, it feels so good to have him back. And doesn't he sound wonderful speaking Italian? :loveya:

Obviously, there is a reason he hasn't said anything...and one reason must be that he feels no need to apologize to his audience, which tells us something about the level of support he's been getting. I had thought "How can he not address it?," but if it's not really that big a deal to anyone but people who hated him anyway...then, well, why? Who in his faithful fan viewership did he really hurt?

As for the Olbermannwatch crap, no need to comment on that. Their credibility is zero. Although I did get some laughs out of their failed attempt to paint KO as the Martha Stewart of baseball cards. I guess they had to try springing this because that plan didn't work too well. (Warning to KO: they will only escalate their strategies now. Do not, I repeat, do NOT answer any fan mail from 14-year-old girls...especially 14-year-old-girls who send pictures.)

And Jossip? Maybe he decided their slams were beneath commenting upon. He didn't want to go all Nixon and Checkers, and they're not exactly the National Enquirer, so...

The question is, if a man makes an unwise decision and apologizes for it in an empty forest, does the fact that he even did it make a sound?

"Na na na na na na na na, JETCAR!" This is what we live for. That and the crack about Cheney.

Welcome back, KO.

:loveya:

That was great. Welcome back KO:D :D

KO enjoyed that interview, and did a great job.

forum since he was returning.

:hi:

comment & Boo to the 3rd worst one - The Cat Meatball Restaurant!!!!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :grr::mad: :puke:

the more I look at it, the more I think he's wearing one of the gray suits! So :loveya: gray!

:)

dg

on the radio.

heard him make that crack to Milbank:

"If you sign with MSNBC, whatever you say doesn't make any difference anyway"!

THAT WAS IT! THAT REALLY WAS IT!

That was the sum and substance of KO's comments on the whole incident...that was all he planned to say and all he was going to say.

And if you want any more subtle commentary, look at the choice of the story about the school bus camera and the kid who got taunted by the bullies so much that he finally punched one...and then they proceeded to bloody his nose.

In that scenario, it's the bullies who are getting punished...yeah.

"If you sign with MSNBC, whatever you say doesn't make any difference anyway."

There's probably a lot of meaning in that. :rofl:

She's gonna be madder than a Mugatu when she finds out.

:7

:hi: I was solving the problems of church life tonight. O8)

and believe me, the gay Star Trek was highly miss-able. Oy, but that was some painfully bad writing. But maybe that's the homage to Trek -- stilted romantic encounters? ;-)

It was kind of an interesting story. I knew there were fanfic seasons for various shows but had no idea people were generating video. :wow:

And I must agree, the glasses need to go.

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

"big developments in the duke rape case"

says it all, i believe...

is right. And you know it...but it was nice to imply you didn't.

I see his choice of Cal (for his remarks about blondes on cable news shows) as his backhanded public apology to Rita Skeeter.
