Barbra's Thoughts on the Academy Awards (Barf Alert)

http://www.barbrastreisand.com ^

[Celtjew Libertarian]

In fact, Theodore Roosevelt said, "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." How dare the media call people who speak out against the war unpatriotic. Exercising freedom of speech is an extremely patriotic act.

You sure it isn't William Shakespeare who said that, Babs?

[chief911]

If she wants to quote TR, at least use the best and, in the case of most Holloywood types, the most applicable

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

"Citizenship in a Republic," Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

Most of these people have no idea what it really means to be "in the arena" or the "triumph of achievement". (USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN71, 1995-1999)

I still remember that horse-faced Julia Roberts chirping, "God is great!" at the Star Concert (at an undisclosed location) a few weeks after 9/11. So wrong.

[lainie]

I notice the quote is all over left-leaning whine websites. And every person who utters it thinks they're the first clever one.

..Lanny Davis read that exact T.Roosevelt quote last night on O'Reilly....

Right.

It must be on 'this week's talking points' from DNC HQ.

[CoolChange]

Anyone notice that the quote she used was the same one that Natalie Mains used?

[Dr.Deth]

Good God, this woman has zero original thoughts in her ditzy little head! She doesn't even try to customize the DNC talking points, she reads them verbatim!

Anyone catch Lanny Davis using the exact same arguments and analogies on O'Reilly last night?

These people aren't a political party - they're the Borg.

[Dr.Deth]

You pegged it too... I guess that also explains the sudden increase in spelling accuracy.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

These people aren't a political party - they're the Borg.

No they're not. The Borg collective adapts when things don't work. The Democrats just think saying the same thing no matter what happens will get them through. It's like the Jedi mind trick. In this case it only works on the extremely weak minded.

[RGSpincich]

Babsbra's thoughts would make more sense.

[mewzilla]

Babs's problem is that she wants to exercise her right to free speech without taking responsibility for what she says when she does it. She wants to shoot off her mouth without taking a hit in the pocketbook should consumers vote with their wallets. Babs can't have it both ways.

[lainie]

Well, I meant *she's* so wrong. That sounded weird.

[CheneyChick]

Reads as if written by her good buddy, Tom Daschle.

It sure does! She must be on the Talking Points Email List.
