STREISAND MEMO TO GEPHARDT: 'TAKE THE OFFENSE!'

Barbra Streisand has reminded Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt in a blistering memo: "Sadam Hussein did not bomb the World Trade Center."

The Streisand memo, released by adviser Margery Tabankin, warns Democrats to "get off the defensive and go on the offensive."

The singeractressdirectorproducer took time out from rehearsals for a performance she's giving on Sunday for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to remind Gephardt [spelled "Gebhardt" in a faxed memo obtained by DRUDGE] not to "ignore the obvious influence on the Bush Administration of such special interests as the oil industry, the chemical companies, the logging industry... just to name a few."

Streisand notes: "Many of these industries, run by big Republican donors and insiders, clearly have much to gain if we go to war against Iraq."

Streisand urges the Democrats to "publicly convey this message to the American people."

While there are serious problems with Iraq, Barbra feels that we can't let this issue become a distraction from the country's domestic problems and the President's inability to fully dismantle the al Qaeda [spelled "Al Queda" in the fax] network.

Afterall, Saddam [spelled Sadam in the fax] "Hussein did not bomb the World Trade Center."

Feel free to call Barbra or me at 310-395-3599 if you would like to discuss this further, Tabankin offers to Gephardt.

Capitol Hill's top reporter, Ed Henry at ROLL CALL, later confirmed Streisand penned the "confidential memo" urging Gephardt to take the offense against Bush.

Tabankin tells Henry she sent the memo after she had a phone conversation with Streisand. "We had just watched Tom Daschle's speech," said Tabankin. "We were both very emotional."

the oil industry, the chemical companies, the logging industry... Many of these industries, run by big Republican donors and insiders, clearly have much to gain if we go to war against Iraq.

We’re going to war with Iraq because we covet their trees.

I’m glad Gebhardt has such an astute advisor.

Man, does this gift ever stop giving? The repubs will win the Senate back in a landslide with this concerted effort by the DNC and rank and files cut their own legs off!

[The Energizer]

The poor spelling reminds me of a local group of pro-abortion "Republican" women who supported Sen. Arlen "Scottish Law" Specter for president simply because he is pro-abortion. They sent out flyers spelling his name "Spectre." They never did notice.

After they got their marching orders from NARAL and Planned Parenthood, they didn't even take the time to learn how to spell his name.

Same with Babs evidently! Sadam, Gebhardt and Al Queda!

[hobbes1]

ROTFLMAO!

[Congressman Billybob]

And the United States is supposed to accept geopolitical advice on the matter of war and peace from an aging singer and part-time actress who never had the rhinoplasty she needed? What is wrong with this picture? This is fully the equivalent of Jimmy Carter taking advice on nuclear weapons from his then-9-year-old daughter.

Oh, I forgot. This now-diva in her own mind can raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Democrat Party, no questions asked.

Ne-VER-mind.

First of all, I called, the line is busy!! Second of all, who corrected the spelling? Go back and take a look at Drudge.......he comments on the mispellings....and they are classic. What an ignoramous!

[rs79bm]

What a surprise ... "BarBra" can't spell, either.

[Moomah]

This is quite revealing. Apparantly her name really is spelled Barbara ... she's been misspelling it as Barbra all these years. Hey Babs. They make this really cool device called a Spell Checker. You can even put proper names in it. Wow, what'll they think of next, huh?

[GHOST WRITER]

Strident should keep her nose out of politics (it requires a brain), and in the Dumbocrat crap pile where it belongs.

[Khurkris]

"STREISAND TO GEBHARDT: DON'T ATTAQ IRACK"

This is your brain on drugs.

[OldFriend]

Wonder if Barbra ever considered the thousands upon thousands of people working in the industries she so despises.

The utter stupidity........

[eureka!]

Al Gore + Barbra + Meathead = Axis of Idiots.

As noted by a Freeper on the other thread, what does the "logging" industry stand to gain from this war. Sheesh...

[luckodeirish]

I wish I had an advisor with a 10th grade education.
