A recent private memo to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt from Barbra Streisand and her associate, Marge Tabankin, was leaked to media and reprinted in various edited forms. We present the memo here in its full and final form.

CONFIDENTIAL MEMO

DATE: September 25, 2002
TO: Congressman Dick Gephardt
FROM: Barbra Streisand/Margery Tabankin
RE: Take the Offense

As you know, Barbra Streisand is busy in rehearsals for the performance she’s giving on Sunday for the DCCC, so she asked me to convey to you her feeling that it is time for the Democrats to get off the defensive and go on the offensive.

Naturally, Barbra’s not surprised to see the Bush Administration evoke strong rhetoric about Democrats caring more about their own ‘special interests’ than protecting the security of the country. Of course, the Republicans will say anything they need to in order to accomplish their own political agenda. Barbra feels that the Democratic Leadership must not continue to take this lying down.

While the Republicans are shouting about the Democrats’ special interests, why are the Democrats not saying the same about the Republicans? How can we ignore the obvious influence on the Bush Administration of such special interests as the oil industry, the chemical companies, the logging industry, the defense contractors, the mining industry, and the automobile industry, just to name a few? Many of these industries, run by big Republican donors and insiders, clearly have much to gain if we go to war against Iraq. Barbra urges the Democrats to publicly convey this message to the American people.

While there are serious problems with Iraq and Saddam Hussein, 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 network. Afterall, Saddam Hussein did not bomb the World Trade Center.

It's not how it's written or how words are spelled.

It's how it's read and how you feel after you read it.

Gosh...I feel much better now that I know Babs was a spelling bee champion.

She meant the gravel companies. After we leave a crater there.

Talk about overplaying your hand!

But if Babs played poker, would her allocation of cards be called a 'hand' or a 'talon?'
