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."

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

So was BS in on the planning or is she just close friends with somebody who knows for sure. When is she getting investigated to find out what inside information she has?

[Phantom Lord]

Ive been trying to call the number but it is constantly busy.

[Phantom Lord]

I got through! The voice mail boxes are all full! Can not leave a message and the receptionist wont answer!

[Phantom Lord]

I got through but all the voice mail boxes are full and the receptionist isnt answering.

The letter should have read:

Dear Jerk,

Because I haven't had a hit in who knows when (and far too much time on my hands,) I decided to write you. Also, I have no talent at all and when I sing it sounds like someone beating Yoko Ono with a retarded person (that is, using them as the weapon.)Did I mention that I am worthless? Anyway, the reason I'm wasting your time is this . . . LOOK AT ME, I THINK I'M IMPORTANT! I know I have no basis in fact with this, but George W. Bush is evil and stupid at the same time. When he's not evil, he's stupid. Sadumb Hussine is our best friend, he told me he likes my singing. We need to protect him, so someone will still buy my albums. LOOK AT ME, I THINK I'M IMPORTANT. We also have to protect the high standard of civil rights Arabs afford their women. Speaking as a talentless self-loathing Jewish-American, I love the Arab people and their earthy ways. I have embraced their high culture by wiping my large behind with my hand. Isn't my husand, James Streisand, dreamy? LOOK AT ME, I THINK I'M IMPORTANT. We must stop America from protecting and defending themselves. I support any Arab attacks on the Imperalist America. Listen,I know you democrats are afraid, I can smell it from here with my huge honker. Don't be afraid, The True Democrats will thank you after the second attack on the boojwa-z Amerika. LOOK AT ME, I THINK I'M IMPORTANT.

Luv,

Babs

P.S. Please be sure and protect my compound in California.

P.P.S. LOOK AT ME, I THINK I'M IMPORTANT.

"Hello, may I please speak to the no-talent ass clown?"

Babs Quotes:

"Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains."

"The audience is the barometer of the truth."

"I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven."

"I hate tooting my own horn, but after Steven [Spielberg] saw Yentl, he said, 'I wish I could tell you how to fix your picture, but I can't. It's the best film I've seen since Citizen Kane.'"

"One thing's for sure: now when I look at Funny Girl, I think I was gorgeous. I was too beautiful to play Fanny Brice."

Someone stole my best line in an earlier post when he described Streisand as a member of the "Axis of Idiots".

Well done, whoever did that.

But seriously, it's okay to let Babs babble on. Daschle just dug himself a serious hole and now Babs wants to jump in.

Good for her. The more the merrier.

Bush just can't get enough of this. I mean, as one guy said earlier, this is just the gift that keeps on giving.

Remember folks, this is a free country, and everyone, even a villiage idiot like Streisand, is entitled to their opinion. However, Streisand, like Daschle before her, should have remembered an old, apocryphal saying:

"Opinions are like a$$holes; everybody has one."

Be Seeing You,

Chris

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."

I was too, but my emotion was hate.

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

Perhaps this loudmouth beeyatch would like to present the evidence she is holding to back up this assertion?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

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."

And another thought: She ought to be careful or she'll be bringing Cynthia McKinney her breakfast tray at the asylum each morning.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"Opinions are like a$$holes; everybody has one."

And they all stink.

[diamond6]

You think she cares about her fellow Jews in Israel?

[diamond6]

Or has she forgotten already the Scuds that landed on Israel's doorstep?

[diamond6]

The more the ultra liberal loonies, like Dasshole and Streisand are against this, the more convinced I am that we are doing the right thing by going to war against Iraq.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

do you reall think the dims are smart enough to do that?

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

nope, but she always identifies herself as being Jewish at the same time.

[Wondervixen]

That's it Baps (sic), don't let America forget that HARKEN scandal you all were so hot on a few months ago. POUND IT HOME!!!

HARKEN! HARKEN! HARKEN!

Make that word synonymous with SCANDAL! SCANDAL! SCANDAL! all the way to November.

Of course, with the attention span of the average voter, all this will succeed at doing is losing one DUMOCRAP seat in the Senate when voters in Iowa, angry over whatever this HARKEN SCANDAL is, overwhelmingly defeat Senator Tom Harkin in his re-election bid.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

All the dims' propaganda has pushed all the important information out of her head.
