STREISAND CALLS SADDAM 'IRANIAN'

It's been weeks of calm seas off PCH on the Barbra Streisand front, but the singeractressdirectoractivist has now issued a fresh "truth alert" to the world -- a truth alert calling Saddam Hussein Iranian!

MORE

In an alert posted as 'REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE ATTACKS BARBRA STREISAND IN ADS IN DESPERATE EFFORT TO CUT INTO CAROLYN McCARTHY LEAD,' Streisand takes issue with an ad run by congressional candidate Marilyn O'Grady in her run against Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY):

"A Republican/Conservative candidate trying with fading hopes to unseat respected Democratic Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy made a last-ditch effort to win headlines by devising ads in which she blatantly misquoted Barbra Streisand, fabricating outrageous quotes and completely misrepresenting Ms. Streisand's deep opposition to the Iranian dictator, Saddam Hussein..."

Where Iraq becomes Iran: Geography, not cinematography, is the latest Streisand glitch.

I heard that was the cause of the Iraq/Iran war, both sides were upset about being referred to as the other one...

I didn't post the thread.

Hey that would make this a soon-to-be pulled thread...cool

Oh brother... bookmarking this gem. My mother is friendly w/ Streisand's first cousin... I'm going to have her e-mail this gem

[Commander8]

What is it with Striesand, is she retarded or what?

[per loin]

I this or I that. What difference does it make? Only the first letter matters to Barbara.

Error corrected.

Today, barbrasteisand.com shows the following:

"A Republican/Conservative candidate trying with fading hopes to unseat respected Democratic Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy made a last-ditch effort to win headlines by devising ads in which she blatantly misquoted Barbra Streisand, fabricating outrageous quotes and completely misrepresenting Ms. Streisand's deep opposition to the Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein. An Associated Press correspondent brought the ads to the attention of Ms. Streisand's representatives Tuesday, October 15, requesting comment."

Well, at least for posterity's sake, I cut-and-pasted her site online yesterday which held the following:

"A Republican/Conservative candidate trying with fading hopes to unseat respected Democratic Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy made a last-ditch effort to win headlines by devising ads in which she blatantly misquoted Barbra Streisand, fabricating outrageous quotes and completely misrepresenting Ms. Streisand's deep opposition to the Iranian dictator, Saddam Hussein. An Associated Press correspondent brought the ads to the attention of Ms. Streisand's representatives Tuesday, October 15, requesting comment."

At least, we have an historical record...in case historical revisionism sets in and she denies the error was ever on her site.

respected Democratic Congresswoman? I didn't know there were any.

It's clear that Barbra Streisand only has two brain cells left.

And they hate each other!

[OldFashionedAmerican]

It's clear that Barbra Streisand only has two brain cells left.

Most certainly those two do not communicate with each other....

Not the first time

As reported in Washington Post

In a "truth alert" posted there Monday night, Streisand blamed "a new employee" for the misspelled memo and added "the ironic further truth" that "Barbra Streisand is a former spelling bee champion, meticulous in her written communications!"

Actual text here

"THE IRONIC FURTHER TRUTH.. Hidden in this example of diverted news priorities is the fact that Barbra Streisand is a former spelling bee champion, meticulous in her written communications!"

But now on Barbra Streisand Pravda Alert Big Sister writes

THE IRONIC FURTHER TRUTH.. Hidden in this example of diverted news priorities is the fact that Barbra Streisand is a great speller, meticulous in her written communications!

Multi-millionare superstar senior citizen and she falsely claims to be a "former spelling bee champion"

I think the meaning of word "pathetic" was just redefined.
