Another lie from the old has-been porn star.
These people are all idiots!
California potato chips, lol- was anything from Arkansas in the bed with her at the time?;))
Barbra who?
LOL!
The sad thing is that Bush and his evil cronies have fooled the thousands of otherwise intelligent FReepers. How wonderful that this wisecracking washed up singer can enlighten us. I am so grateful for her informative website I could just puke with gratitude.
You don't have to be educated to sing...and in her case, we can also see that you don't have to be smart.
Yeah, a big snozzed rich idiot!! I can honestly say I would not trade my common sense and intelligence for all of her money and arrogant ignorance. She is dependent on Hollyworld, and I am somewhat self-sufficient, geee, who will survive better in a "world state of emergency"?? I bet she can't hunt worth a damn,let alone walk a few miles in the wilderness, and forget starting a fire. She would starve!!! But Bush lied...shut up, and don't sing ever again.
These Truths and Lies have nothing to do with each other. Proving that someone has lied requires proving both the falsehood of a statement and an intent to deceive. Streisand not only fails to do either, she fails to even try.
Lie #1: Bush lied when he said that Saddam could have stopped the U.S. invasion.
Truth #1: No WMD were found in Iraq.
Lie #2: Iraq is now at the center of the war on terror.
Truth #2: Iraq was not responsible for 9-11.
Lie #3: (See Lie #1)
Truth #3: (See Truth #1)
Lie #4: Bush believes that WMD should remain out of the hands of “dangerous men”.
Truth #4: Some dangerous men are developing WMD.
Lie #5: Democracy in Iraq is good for Iraq and good for America.
Truth #5: Democracy might not work in Iraq.
Lie #6: Iraq’s economy is recovering.
Truth #6: Iraq still has security problems.
None of the Truths address the Lies. This is so pathetic that it is not even worth addressing her obvious distortions.
OK Babs, its your turn:
"Actors should be treated like cattle"
-Alfred Hitchcock
That's PRESIDENT Bush you ignorant misguided washed-up never-was.
Learn it, live it, love it.
Bill is from Arkansas but from what I hear he's made a bunch of California potato chips.
It seems that California made a tragic mistake a couple of weeks ago. At least, Tookie could write children's books. This criminal on the other hand can't sing, can't act, can't think. Wrong perp executed again!
Er, point of order, Mr. Chairman.
Miss Streisand has appeared in 17 films over the course of her lifetime and in all of them, she has NEVER acted. Therefore, Miss Streisand is NO actress.
I don't know, Streisand sure acted like she deserved an Oscar for "Lentil," her story of a vegetable disguised as a singer.
"I will be taking a break from posting any new statements until after the New Year."
Does this mean we are safe for awhile? :)
So the story goes, it was Streisand who pushed hard to get Robert Redford for the lead in the film The Way We Were. The word is, she just wanted to be near the golden goyboy. Redford is an instinctive actor and he found it heavy going dealing with Streisand’s need to examine and reexamine every move and motivation. Redford later described his experience of working with Barbra as “doing overtime in Dachau.” Barbie is a control freak.
Streisand is still trying to direct and control, but now she wants to direct the Democratic Party. Because she is such a productive fund raiser for the Democrats, none of them has the nerve to tell her to shut up; no one wants to send her sobbing to her dressing room where she might just sit and pout instead of raising more funds. Money is, after all, the mother’s milk of politics and Streisand has proven to be one amazing wet nurse. She raised a cool million for Walter Mondale back in 1984, but nothing could save Mondale.
Streisand headlined at a 2002 Democratic National Gala which brought in over six million dollars, providing a boost to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s effort to retake the House in the upcoming November elections. House Minority Leader, Dick Gephardt gave a get-out-the-vote speech. Streisand performed a mutant version of The Way We Were, with twisted lyrics interspersed with political hysteria.
Streisand began: Mem’ries
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor mem’ries
Of the way we were.
She then mouths the words: “When I sing that song now, I can’t help but think about it politically.” It was all downhill from there. Doing what she does best, Babs proceeded to wallow in bathos.
Scatter pictures
Of the House we left behind
Lovely Democratic mem’ries
Of the way we were.
The rest was a sustained whine, interspersed with such paranoiac lines as: “I find George Bush and Dick Cheney frightening . . .Donald Rumsfeld and John Ashcroft frightening.”
Streisand concluded her tortured rewrite of the nostalgic 1973 song with the stanzas:
So on
Next Election Day I pray
That the country will deliver,
A House without Tom Delay!
We need a team change
A definite regime change.
Oh, that would be a dream change
From the way we are.
So, in November
Let’s make the Congress
A Democratic Congress
The way we were
The way we were!
How sad. Nostalgia is a mild form of depression. Barbra’s depression, together with her lifelong paranoia, would excite some sympathy if we didn’t have our own distinct mem’ries of the way we were during Bill Clinton’s eight-year-long betrayal of our trust. Barbra pines for the good old days when Bill was bombing Bosnia, when he was lying to the public (Our troops will be home from Bosnia by Christmas; I did not have sex with that star struck youngster), when he was wasting cruise missiles on empty training camps and an aspirin factory, when Bill turned down three offers to put Osama bin Laden in a U.S. prison cell, when Bill was transferring top-secret missile-guidance technology to China to improve their targeting of American cities, when Bill was accepting political contributions from the communist Chinese (thanks for the technology, Bill), when Clinton was raising the tax burden on struggling Americans to a record high and fending off numerous credible accusations of sexual abuse, including the forcible rape and disfigurement of Juanita Broderick. Billy the Kid turned the White House into a cash-generating Motel Six. He granted pardoned an undeserved pardon to criminal fugitive Marc Rich as thanks for political contributions and many other pardons to scores of other thugs and thieves who had greased the Democrats, all in the final hours of his administration. When they decamped, the Clintons looted the White House, stealing truckloads of publicly-owned treasure to feather their nest in Chappaqua.
That was the America Barbra Streisand longs to return to; she thinks that Republicans are frightening, but then again Babs is a life-long paranoiac.
Thanks to you both for giving examples to counteract some of her statements.
I was hoping someone would.
