XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU SEPT 26, 2002 14:09:27 ET XXXXX

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 jewish princess does't "know enough" to send a scalding memo to Gebhart blaming Arafat for the suicide-bombing of jews.

Even "Gebhard" isn't this dumb. There is no way he can use her advise. To do what? To vote no on the use of force because Bush gets money from loggers? Rediculous.

"Barbra couldn't make the cheer leading squad at Erasmus Hall HS in Brooklyn."

Maybe so.
But don't count out the potential danger that nose of her's can cause.
She could potentially put outa work every pig that ever sniffed for a truffle or anteater that ate an ant!

Ecologically this old has-been's a walking catastrophe!!

To say nothing of the biggest danger of all?
The spitefullness, sheer unbridled desperation of a faded, washed-up starlet who's well out of a public's consciousness she's grown quite addicted to??
Why does everyone *think* she's glomed onto politics, huh?
Because she *cares*???

A more self center, arrogant, *stingy* & screwed-up human being -- of any sex -- would be near impossible to find.

...it'd be safer embracing a viper than it would be, "The Nose."

She mentions the ties to the oil industry, logging, etc. Apparently Babs doesn't realize she's part of THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY!!! Yes, entertainment in this country is a HUGE business. And what about Daschle, Gephardt, Clinton, et al, and THEIR ties to the entertainment INDUSTRY? What an A-hole!!

It was difficult not placing this under "Political Humor", wasn't it?

A million-dollar throat and a ten-cent head.
