Alice, I think it’s *because* the world is falling apart that this bit of relief is important. Consider it a short break from the insanity. After all, if one is on a strict diet it’s necessary to have a sinful little dessert now and then.

I have been in the room with Bill Clinton, and I will swear that the air was electric! It was something you could feel and taste. Not like anyone I have *ever* met in my entire life, and I would vote for him again in a heartbeat. Damn…

I just watched the Katie Couric interview, and all I could think of was the Chatty Cathy doll. You remember…she can speak when you pull the string, but she only has six sentences in her vocabulary.

Rocky, I agree completely! I’m from Texas and have seen this man work for too long. With the swagger and “eff-you” attitude Bush has, the covert “eff-you” life & attitude of Cheney (and he’s a lousy shot with all those guns), the anger management “eff-you” issues of multi-millionaire McCain and Miss Congeniality who has foreign policy experience because she can see Russia from near home, we’re in trouble. Add Karl Rove as the bartender to that dangerous cocktail, and I’m sticking with the statement that I’ll believe he’s leaving when the helicopter has left WDC airspace.

Nope. Should NOT be allowed. On a side note, I’ve said for a year that I will only believe gwb is leaving when the chopper is airborne on inauguration day. Somehow I’m feeling a bit uneasy right now.

Oh lord, I’m allergic to even the thought of Cracker Barrel! I prefer a nice, small, NON-CHAIN place with great music and a good wine list. Forget it. We’ll just cook at my house. I have all of the above and no children.

The interesting part is that we will all watch the same debate, but see and hear very different things according to our political beliefs. I, too, shall be here.

30 minutes after you get here. ; )

I’m very surprised to see my comment here! Guess that means I’ll have to celebrate tonight with wine. No pretty dress and shoes like the Emmys and no red carpet, but it’ll be a whole lot more comfortable and I won’t have to wait in line at the ladies room. Linda, great idea for Apple’s next campaign! I’m trying to work up the courage to start screaming just like the children the next time I’m in a restaurant and they start that self absorbed crap, but I’d probably wind up in handcuffs and charged with cruelty to children. I need to download some more to my i-Pod, but first I have to find the instructions and then read the book and figure out what I want and…makes me tired. I do want Bad Mamma Jamma, I know that much. In fact, I want that for a ringtone and for y’all to play it loudly at my memorial service. Linda, you and Kryssi come here and we’ll do a restaurant tour. With three of us, it would be a beautiful thing.

Oprah’s dress had waaaay too much stuff going on. Not flattering at all, and red was not right. Glenn Close looked very pretty, I’ve already said on another thread that Mary Tyler Moore needs to eat and wear sleeves, and Sally Field looked wonderful. Still think Marcia Cross was by far the most incredible of the evening.

No kidding. Why not take a chance next year and let us write it? Hell, it certainly couldn’t be any worse!

Marcia Cross was simply exquisite!

I watched about the first 25 minutes, and would rather have been having my boobs squshed in a mammogram machine! Whoever made the decision to have the five reality show hosts on should be forced to run naked down Hollywood Blvd at high noon…no sunscreen on delicate parts. I truly don’t think it could have gotten worse, including Oprah. I did check in occasionally and was fortunate enough to catch Don Rickles with Kathy Griffin and Candace Bergen saying she could present any damn award she wanted! Loved it. Wouldn’t you like to be listening in on the wrap up meetings this morning. If their is justice, some serious ass is being chewed. Mary Tyler Moore, please eat something and wear sleeves next time. Thank you.

Me, too, Kryssi. I have Tivo set, the wine chilled, and will turn off the telephones. To paraphrase an old ad, NOTHING comes between me and my Boston Legal!

Brilliant observation, Kryssi.
