WASHINGTON (AP) - Barbra Streisand, who hedged her bets months ago with donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards, has settled on one presidential candidate.
It's Hillary.
''Madame President of the United States ... it's an extraordinary thought. We truly are in a momentous time, where a woman's potential has no limitations,'' Streisand said in a statement released Tuesday by the Clinton campaign. ''Hillary Clinton has already proven to a generation of women that there are no limits for success.''
The Oscar-winning actress and singer is an FOB - Friend of Bill Clinton - and the endorsement is hardly surprising. In Hollywood, as in politics, timing is everything, and Streisand's endorsement comes one day after another entertainment superstar, Oprah Winfrey, announced she would campaign for Clinton rival Barack Obama.
''Hillary is a powerful voice for change as we find our country at an important crossroads. Under her leadership, our country will regain its respect within the global community. She will prioritize issues of global climate change, universal health care and rebuilding a strong economy. After eight long years, the public will once again have faith in their government,'' said Streisand, a longtime supporter of Democratic candidates.

''Barbra has used her immense talent to be an advocate for truth, justice, and fairness and I deeply appreciate her confidence in my candidacy as we work together to change the direction of our nation,'' Clinton said.

There, fixed it.
I've got to learn not to read this cr@p so soon after lunch.

How is this a surprise?
In other “news” today, a bear passed a rabbit in the forest and the Pope declared himself a devout Catholic...
Well, why have an election then since her highness has deigned to grace us with the correct answer!
I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
Well, now that Babs has expressed her opinion, I guess i have to go with hillary!
Yeah, me too. Sorry Duncan, ya should have tried harder to get the all-importand Streisand endorsement.
Speaking of Streisand, did you ever read Christopher Buckley’s hilarious novel “No Way to Treat a First Lady”. Hillary and Babs are both in it, although in fictionalized form. So is Bill, although highly fictionalized since his character in the book is a war hero.
Okie dokie. Lets see:
Oprah is for Hussein Obama (what, no jesse Jackass?)
Babs is for Hil-Rod Clinton
Can Rosie for Rudy be far behind? Probably not, since Rudy doesn’t think Bush was behind it. No pun intended.
How about the Queer Eye guys for the Silk Pony?
...”since Rudy doesn’t think Bush was behind 9-11”...
Hello there, little boy. Do you know who I am?
Kyle: No.
Barbra Streisand: Ugh. I bet you do.
I’m going-
Kyle: Aagh! Stop that!
Barbra Streisand: -where there’s lucky clovers in the f-
Stan: Ow, that sucks, dude!
Barbra Streisand: I’m Barbra Streisand!
Stan: …so?
Barbra Streisand: So?! Uh muh, so I’m a very famous and vey important individual.
Stan: Like John Elway important?
Barbra Streisand: What?!
Stan: D’you know John Elway?
Barbra Streisand: No!
Stan: Oh, so you’re really famous and important but you don’t know John Elway!
Well DUH!!!
She also believes that she is the only one that can beat Bush in the '08 elections.
.
FROM THE MOUTH OF BABS:"We have a president who stole the presidency through family ties, arrogance and intimidation, employing Republican operatives to exercise the tactics of voter fraud by disenfranchising thousands of blacks, elderly Jews and other minorities."
"[Republican control of the House has resulted in] Poison in the water, salmonella in the food, carbon dioxide in the air and toxic waste in the ground."
And finally - this hilariously ironic gem: "It used to be in politics that there was a certain amount of class and eloquence. The debate was civilized even though there were strong disagreements over deeply important questions. But, as usual, the Republicans have resorted to name-calling and mean-spiritedness."
When you get the Streisand/Broland endorsement, its kind of hard to go with anyone else.
I am now waiting for the all important Cameron Diaz/Kate Bosworth endorsement.
Then there is the Matt Damon/ben Afleck endorsement coming in Mid-January. need to keep my eyes open for that one.
Well, we won’t be having any more of that. I’manutjob from Iran has announced he wants to “police” our elections next year.
Sheeple who need sheeple are the suckiest sheeple in the world.
