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."

Any takers that this shameful *memo* will NOT be reported by any of the Liberal-Socialist Lamestream quisling nets??

C'mon now!!
Let's see everyone who DOESN'T think the Lamestream's stacked sky-high to the Left, poney up.

Oh yea...
Our Dartmouth "professor" friend -- the author -- will be more than welcome to place a wager too, FGS.
So, do be sure to send 'em an email, now; &, invite 'em over here to put his money where his mouth is.
OK?? ;^)

Y'know??!!

...like they did the stolen GOP election strategy memo?? :o)

So a connection with 911 is the only way we can declare war on another country nowadays. Who ever said we were going to war with Iraq for this reason. Sure his involvment is obvious. Not to a fool like this though.

SHUT UP BARBARA!!!!!!!

What's Babs' email?

I suppose the Rats have shared classified national security intelligence data with Barbara Streisand, leading to her knowledgeable assertion that Saddam Hussein did not bomb the WTC.

Maybe they will make her Secretary of Defense if they ever get the White House again.

Reason enough to vote straight Republican until you die.

"singer-actress-director-producer-psychopath"

was what I thought of when I read the article. This woman, I'm purposefully being kind, doesn't have a clue.

Freeping should include someone dressed up as a big baby, with an enormous pacifer in mouth, identified as little Tommy Puffball Daschle.
