Noted political psychologist Barbra Streisand says she has plumbed the depths of President Bush's psyche, and has come up with his deep-seated reasons for toppling Saddam Hussein.
In her latest "Truth Alert," Dr. Streisand explores what she describes as the "psycho-social reasons relating to Bushs decision to invade Iraq."
Turns out, according to the oracle of Malibu, Bush has "a long-standing father and son competition based on feelings of jealousy and inadequacy."
Posits Streisand: "Bush saw the opportunity to emerge from his father's shadow and no longer be seen as the perpetual underachiever who consistently failed under the watchful eye of his accomplished father."
By invading Iraq, she insists, Bush 43 "had the chance to finish what he feels his father was unable to finish. And he could finally have the opportunity to achieve something his father was unsuccessful in achieving...a two-term presidency."
Thus, says the Freudian "Funny Girl," "the warmongering Bush administration was given the perfect rationale for waging a war: combating terrorism."
Paging Robert Smith.
The sad thing is that BS (an appropriate nickname for for La Streisand, IMHO) has probably invented a better reason for the invasion than Bush invented. I never did see why we wanted to topple Saddam, unless it was just to set up a moderate Muslim state in the region.
parsy, the cynical.
I've always thought that Barbara Streisand has a beautiful voice, but I'll be damned if I can separate her vocal talents and her Godawful politics. I suppose that is small-minded of me, but that's just the way it is. I feel that I'm entitled to a few prejudices in life and that is one of them.
ROTFLMAO!! Looks like ol' beak-nosed Babs has gone right over the edge this time!
Physician, er, dipsh!t, heal thyself!
This should have come with the proper barf alert warning....
With those hand prints on her boobs, don't you mean she just came from psychoanalyzing Clinton.
Guess which Clinton.
So she thinks the elder President Bush was "distinguished" now. Back in 1992 BS and many in the Hollywood elite seemed to hold him responsible for every evil in the world.
This article is funny though because over 3 years ago the Phil Hendrie radio show did a comedy bit where some kind of moron psychoanalyst was saying GWB wanted to invade Iraq just so he could compete with his father's record. That's the way fathers and sons are. After all, didn't you see that movie the "Godfather??" LOL!!
And this from a woman who can't even spell "Barbara".
The head line should have just read:
"Barbara Streisand Psycho"
I wonder if James Brolin's eyes ever glaze over when he reads his wife's website......
Hasn't Babs left the country yet? Damn it! She promised she would!!
