The Bile Beneath Our Wings: Bette Midler’s Greatest Hits of 2018 (Oinker alert)
newsbusters.org ^ | 11/19/2018 | Jacob Comello

Singer-actress Bette Midler can belt things out. Not just her schmaltzy show tunes, but her Greatest Hits: her fiery, unhinged hits on conservatives, Trump, and pretty much any person who is not a member of the show biz left. She’s usually uninformed, always strident and pretty hateful. Here are five hits that, in the past year, have led people (even liberals) to question her sanity, chide her on Twitter, or simply roll their eyes.

On Nov. 14, Midler tweeted out a picture from a Melania Trump photoshoot that appeared in GQ magazine circa 2000. The photograph shows Melania posing in an airplane cockpit, scantily clad in metal … things. While the display is quite odd, it takes a certain kind of vindictive mindset to resurrect an 18 year old photo to embarrass the First Lady, plus accompany it with text: “The dry cleaning bill for the upholstery on Air Force One must be insane. #FLOTITS.” The tweet rendered a lot of criticism from journalists on all sides, but it has not yet been deleted.

She did make one funny comment on twitter after Kim Kardashian posted more nude pics: “If KK wants to show something we haven’t all already seen, she’ll have to swallow the camera.”

So, fine, she can sing but that’s about it. She’s always been a bit off kilter.

Did I ever tell you your a zero?
Why can’t you sing and let us be?
I’d prefer barking from a beagle.
Than listening to you vent hateful things.

Midler got her big start singing in the gay bathouses of NYC. In the pre-AIDs era.

“with a young Barry Manilow as her pianist.”

Say what you will she does catch a pretty good game of softball.

Plus her role in Rochelle, Rochelle cemented her place in theater history.

"Well you made a long journey from Milan to Minsk.
Rochelle Rochelle.
You never stopped hoping, now you're in the Pinsk
Rochelle Rochelle
When the nay sayers nay you pick up your pace
So nothing's going to stop me so get out of my face.
I'm having adventures all over the place.
Rochelle ROCHELLE!"

She’s in her 70s. She could sing at some time in the past.
