Have a look at this screen capture from the opening of this morning's 'Today': Barbra Streisand says "SEND IN THE #$&!! CLOWNS"

Since 'Today' only offered a tease, it was hard to know just what Babs had been up to. Was she cursing out a fan or, perhaps, calling for a takeover of power by her team of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Conyers, Henry Waxman et. al?

Turns out the correct answer was 'A' - cursing a fan. According to this New York Post article, VULGAR BABS RIPS BUSH - AND FAN - AT MSG:

Liberal diva Barbra Streisand gave fans an earful of Bush-bashing last night at Madison Square Garden - then told a man in the audience to "shut the f- - - up" after he heckled her for poking fun at the president.

But judging by the image alone, how was a NewsBusters supposed to know?

Did you know she tried to sue the couple that took that piture? They were taking periodic photos of the coastline to document erosion, and were posting them on a website. Babs had a fit when she heard her residence was there.

"oes this dumbass Babs have the same manager as the Dixie Chicks? Same mode of stupidity with the same results! Telling the fans to STFU ain't smart Babs, and you lose....again!"

It's two completely different fan bases. The Chix appealed to a lower income america, people who could afford $30-$50+ tickets, work hard for their money and love the President.

Streisand appeals to the elite, Bush-hating uberlibs with ticket prices ranging from $140-$1600+.

The local sports talk radio has a couple of contests to win tickets to her show. One is for VIP tickets to her show but the other is called Guys night out with Babs. Here is the description....

Getting hassled about seeing Barbra Streisand in concert? Just you and your wife? There's a night you'll never get back. Til Now.

You owe us. We've got four tickets to see Barbra Steisand in concert. And vouchers for Treasures Gentleman's Club.

This means you can send the girls to see Babs while you and the guys see boobs. Oh sure, it's more than just boobs. It's great conversation. Food. Refreshments. You almost don't even know girls are on-stage.

Winner(s) will be announced on-air and/or on-line and contacted by phone and/or email.

Not a bad looking pile of bricks. I'm surprised that Babs hasn't had the "shack" on the left of her place bulldozed into the sea. Must keep her happy at all costs.

Depending on the context, the word f**k can be a noun, verb, adjective or just an intensifier. It's a diagrammer's dream, really.

I never really wished a mudslide on anyone, but in this case...

There's not one dime's worth of difference between Hollywood and Washington divas…it's like being given a choice between a bullet between the eyes OR cirhosis of the liver…both KILL, only the Republicans give it to you under the installment plan!

It would be so great to make the liberal chicks and metros cry again.

Likely a 10 car garage too.

That's no way to talk about Barbra's buttocks!

Spelling police gotcha spooked?
Nah, I just don't like it when my brain thinks faster than my fingers can type and when I don't proof/preview well enough. I'm usually better than 'index finger typing', though not by much. (so much for those typing classes in high school. LOL)
Besides, it reminds me to remain humble, to a degree, and admit my mistakes myself. No sense in waiting for others to do it.

An aging aardvark with Cooper's Droopers and Tourette's Syndrome. I hate that.
