Barbra Streisand turns 60 today, on the occasion of which TIC presents a selection of phrases describing her, harvested from her Web site: "True Renaissance woman"; "bold, creative achievements"; "unequaled by any other female recording artist"; "dominated the record business for four decades"; and "favorite female singer of the 20th century."

I got your Prince of Tides!

"What's better for you than a cup of soup and some Streisand?"

She really looks good for her age.

If Barbra would stick to singing and keep her ugly mug out of politics she might be tolerable. But her lecturing conservatives about being out of touch, while she lives in three fully staffed mansions, spending 4 months out of the year in each, is the epitome of hypocrisy. If anyone is out of touch! It’s Barbra.

Barbra Streisand turns 60 today

That makes her the youngest person to have her age higher than her IQ.

"What's better for you than a cup of soup and some Streisand?"

A cup of soup and no Streisand at all.

Babs Streisand has always looked like she was at least sixty!

Happy Birthday Barbra

Have lots and lots of fun

At your age, most women don't like birthdays

Here's hoping it's your last one!

I suggest we all chip in and give B.S. a one-way ticket out of the U.S. with her friend, Alec Baldwin.

I suggest we all chip in and give B.S. a one-way ticket out of the U.S. with her friend, Alec Baldwin.

Baldwin did a funny bit on Saturday Night Live last week,where he played Tony Bennett as the host of a talk show that was interviewing Liza Minilli and her new "husband". He kept calling the guy queer and made a comment about how this was as close as any homosexual could come to actually marrying Judy Garland. I was pretty surprised by all this. I guess the fact that the guy and Liza are both determined to claim he isn't a homosexual makes it ok with the radical homosexuals to criticise him.

Great picture of the witch.

I bet she still smells bad though.

[Piquaboy]

I did not think she was that old. Now I know why her nose is so big. I have always heard that your ears and nose never stop growing. Maybe it was just ears, but Babs proves the nose never stops either.

FROM THE ARCHIVES, WHEN SHE AND HER PALS THREATENED TO LEAVE US

MIDI - MEMORIES

Memories of an airhead named Streisand
She had lived in our country but then she went away

She had left because George Bush fumigated Our House
Thank you George…you’ve made our day

Memories of the Hollywood leftists
No, let’s just call them Marxists because that’s what they are

They’re so full of it and they all think that what they say counts
It is really quite bizarre

Streisand’s whining…Streisand’s screeching…the GOP hates the needy
But she’s now worth over 80 million…so tell us, Babs, who’s greedy?

Memories of the pals who went with her
There was Cher, Alec Baldwin and the Big Rosie O

We don’t miss them…no, we don’t miss them one single bit
What’s the reason?…they all blow

Memories of an airhead named Streisand
She had lived in our country but then she went away

We grew weary as every day she’d open her mouth
Now she's gone…it’s okay

Streisand’s whining…Streisand’s screeching…the GOP hates the needy
But she’s now worth well over 80 million…so tell us, Babs, who’s greedy?

Memories of an airhead named Streisand
She had lived in our country but then she went away

She had left because George Bush fumigated Our House
Thank you George…you’ve made our day
