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."

It's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$, and that is why the Democraps care about what she says.... but hopefully this will continue playing and sink their party, once and for all... by the way - dirty bombs would render her palatial palisades worthless... she truely is an idiot... as if Sad ass would anounce a biological warfare attack... once it hits, its too late. I hope our people don't have to find out the hard way on account of her and her party.

"Sadam Hussein did not bomb the World Trade Center."

Dear Barbra,

And who did bomb the WTC? Let me help you out, Barbra... They were SUICIDE bombers. They are all dead now. Now, we are going after their helpers. That includes Saddam. What part of this don't you understand?

You hollywood types should only open your mouths when reading from the movie script. Otherwise, you reveal yourselves to be borderline retarded from all of the drugs you've injected/snorted/smoked.

Love,

TheEngineer

Barbara dear, the WTC was NOT bombed.

The memo YOU :) wrote and allowed to be distributed was incorrect so I would think YOU :) would have proofed it YOURSELF :) before YOU :) authorized it to go out with YOUR :) name on it. I wouldn't want something I wrote to go out in error. Kinda makes you look like you really don't have a clue about what you speak. Don't you agree dear?

We have REAL LEADERS who know what they are doing. You know what you are doing on the stage, right? They know what they are doing for our country. Don't try to be a politician. You fall quite short. Also, please...for heaven's sake learn how to spell Barbara, it's not too difficult! OK, dear? :)
