[MNJohnnie]

What a complete MORON. Gee BS, did NOT hear you whine about the DEMOCRATS holding everything under LBJ, Kennedy, Truman, Roosevelt, Carter and Clinton. What an utter political bigot.

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

this woman should be ignored. Hopefully she will get sick and die soon. This week would be nice I drew her name in the "ghoul pool" this week

[presidio9]

Incidentally, I was wondering if you could identify the correct spelling these words for me:

"curruption"
"Adminstration"
"responsibilty"
"preceedings"
"desperatly"
"warrented"

And that's just the first paragraph. Personally, I never use spell check here, so I am a frequently perpetrator of typos, but why can't Babs get the person who she pays to sprinkle rose petals in her toilet bowl to proof-read these gems for her?

[jazusamo]

Thank you BarBra, now you can finish your chores, hang your wet clothes on the clothesline.

[facedown]

[bigbob]

That's PRESIDENT Bush to you, Babs.

[CyberAnt]

It's called "elections have consequences".

BS thinks that we're mean because we don't just GIVE THE DEMOCRATS more power.

BS

[DoughtyOne]

Dear Babst. If you want balanced power in Congress, you'll have to urge those you support to moderate their tone. You can expect to get traction when you whine about unequal numbers in Congrees, but if you stand with your toes hanging off the left end of the spectrum you will never get it. You're views are unacceptable to the U.S. citizen voter.

[manglor]

Elections have consequences. DUmmies keep it up with the gun control, jihadi appeasement, entitlements to the lazy and affirmative action and we'll have 9 Republican SCOTUS justices, the house, the senate, and the oval office.

[Auntie Dem]

Babs:

SHUT UP AND SING!

On second thought, don't sing, I can no longer stand any sound coming from your mouth and/or nasal cavities.

[Choose Ye This Day]

to give a company owned by the United Arab Emirates management of six American ports.

Check your facts, Babs.

[philsfan24]

Over the last 5 years, Bush’s leadership has resembled that of a dictatorship. The arrogance of this C student who maligns his opponents’ crediblity by calling them flip floppers, is the biggest flip flopper himself! can she even spell? whos the C student babs?

[gridlock]

I fondly remember marching up Pennslyvania Avenue with Barbra back in 1993, demanding Republican control of Congress to offset the Democrat power monopoly in Washington. What a day it was. The sun was shining and the birds were singing, and Barbra looked radiant!

[pfony1]

See what happens when you "think" with your nose...

[Exeter]

"Congressional leaders are not prepared to hold this President accountable."

Why wasn't this woman whining during the Clinton tenure? I still remember the words of Sen. Robert Byrd on Sunday Morning with Sam Donaldson and Cokie Robert just before the impeachment vote, "Do I think this President has guilty of perjury? Yes. Do I think he's guilty of obstruction of justice? Yes. Do I think these offenses are grounds for removal? Yes. But no one is going to vote against a President with approval ratings as high as his." Funny, I don't remember her high-pitched yapping after this stunning declaration...

Professor Steisand,

Can you tell us how a bill becomes a law? And can you make it more interesting than Yentl or the Mirror Has two Faces? Or maybe even the Prince of Tides?

[presidio9]

Regardless of how he got it, George Bush DID graduate from Yale, and Harvard Business School. Streisand's education ended at Erasmus High School in Brooklyn NY.

Professor Steisand, Can you tell us how a bill becomes a law?
