NEW YORK - The most riveting moment of Barbra Streisand's Madison Square Garden concert was one of the only unscripted ones.
Streisand endured jeers as she interjected a political skit into Monday night's show, exchanging zingers with a celebrity impersonator playing George Bush as a bumbling idiot.
Though most of the crowd offered polite applause during the slightly humorous routine, it went on a bit too long, especially for those who just wanted to hear Streisand sing.

"Come on, be polite!" the well-known liberal implored. But one heckler wouldn't let up. And finally, Streisand let him have it.
"Shut the (expletive) up!" Streisand bellowed, drawing wild applause. "Shut up if you can't take a joke!"
With that one F-word, the jeers ended. And the message was delivered _ no one gets away with trying to upstage Barbra Streisand, especially not in her hometown.
A DNC Fundraiser disguised as a concert.
No. The message delivered was the fact that poor Mrs Brolin can't take criticism.
I wonder if the heckler was assaulted after the concert.
She was rude to punish poeple with her political views when they payed to only hear her sing, but then ask them to be polite?!
Streisand is a very well-known lefty.
Anybody who buys tickets to her concerts should know to expect an ideological show above all else.
If I paid that kind of money for that warthog to sing, I'd be shouting at her, too.
That doesn't sound very.......er......liberal.
She is a shill.
Everybody already already knows that.
What did the guy expect?
Please- In the name if all that's decent and holy, please do not post that hideous photo of the saggy,decrepit "Nose" in her backyard.
Seems this review of her concert says her singing had no one riveted.
Personally, I think that the voters are fed up with people who remind them of politics 24 hours a day--particularly entertainers and journalists. They've had enough of it.
There is only one way to make them stop, though, and that is by voting one party or the other out of power so that their whining becomes moot.

My bet was it was scripted to a T.
