Notice the last line. Can you just imagine the whining, and demands for an apology from Tommygirl Daschle, if a conservative was doing this about her beloved Bubba?

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I wouldn't go to this event if they offered free barf bags and tums.

"Barbra's passionate belief in the importance of the Democratic Party's regaining control of the House is so deep that she has decided to sing three times as many songs as was originally planned."

They should all feel so graced by her highnee.

Klinton would stick it to anyone if the rumors are true and he stuck it to babs. Yeaks! She's certainly at least a double bagger.

[Fraulein]

"We idiots plan to gather 'round in one disgusting, self-congratulatory circle jerk."

Seriously, Babs needn't sing a political parody; the whole event itself will be one.

[Lizavetta]

All I can say is, Brolin must have a stack of paper bags on his night table. She's gross.

[Rocko]

David adds Barbra will be singing a "political parody that will raise a few eyebrows."

Barbra is a political parody.

[Bullish]

Barbara's so stupid she doesn't realize she's a no class lout.

[NsTiG8r]

Streisand is still here? I thought (an prayed) that she and the Baldwin brothers would follow through on their threat to leave the country if George Bush became President.

MIDI - MEMORIES - look in second section down

Memories of my nights at the White House
I had fine golden kneepads that could slide on the floor
I’m not welcome…I cannot get near Abe Lincoln’s bed
It’s George Bush that I abhor

Memories of advice about China
And of nuclear weapons…I advised Willy well
Now I try to tell George Bush the things that he ought to do
He leaves voicemail --- “Go to hell”

I will fire off a strong memo…yes, I will make it quite scathing
All my RAT pals better damn well listen…or they will hear me raving

Memories of when what I said mattered
They’d invite me to Harvard and nobody would mock
Now they laugh at me everywhere that I make a speech
I can tell you…I’m in shock

Memories of when RATS had been fighters
They would rally on weekdays and refuse to take crap
Now they’ve wimped out and let Bush do whatever he wants
Each one’s acting like a sap

I will fire off my strong memo…yes, I will make it quite scathing
And all my RAT pals better damn well listen…or they will hear me raving

Memories of when our precious children
Were not killed by right wingers before our very eyes
If my party does not pull its head out of its rear
I will see that someone fries
