The Unbelievable Stupidiy of Barbara Streissand And Her Staff

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.

This from "Barbra's" official site. If you look around, you will find a 'truth' section where you are informed that 'Barbra' is not stupid at all. In fact she is a very good speller, which proves how evil her enemies really are. The reason her memo had all those misspelled words was because 'Barbara' didn't write it at all. She DICTATED the memo over the phone while she was busy doing her makeup (HORRORS!!!!!) or something.

What you see above, is the official, correctly spelled version of her memo, which shows what a good speller she is, even when she dictates things over the phone.

Incredibly, 'Barbra' (friend of Aundruw???) talks about herself in the third person, further proof of her perfect mental health.

And, to make this as hillarious as it can be, she also manages to misspell another word (see red) - actually 2 words.

As for "Barbra's not surprised" - I guess Barbra's style shows that Barbra's not writing much lately which is not suprising. She must be spending at least 80% of her life working on her makeup.

Oh, the truth section also confesses that her staff, evidently under some kind of 'influence', after they misspelled Barbra's words of wisdom, they also promptly faxed the misspelled memo to 'a Republican'.

I see no reason why a future Demo prez. shouldn't have 'Barbra' as 'Surgeon Genral'. Her stupidity surpasses that of the Elders woman/entity by many orders of magnitude.

Even the Washington Post was making fun of this letter in yesterday's edition, and they love this woman.

I once sent Barbra a thank you letter. I claimed to have bought a $1,000 bottle of wine she was peddling on her web site, and told her I drank it at President Bush's inauguration. I always wondered if she saw it.

Babs doesn't even care that allowing Saddam to stay in power puts the nation of Israel at extreme risk. She's a self-hating jew, pathetic.

Every time I see her poor, befuddled, martyred husband James Brolin, late of "Capricorn One" fame, I can't help imagining what she must have done to that poor man after George Bush won the election. I have visions of him cowering, whimpering, hiding in a closet in Malibu, while she railed and ranted and raged and bellowed... oh, dear oh dear!

"I'd rather be blue over you, than be happy with somebody else."

I take credit for 'stupidiy' or whatever. As for Streissand vs. Streisand or Barbra vs. Aundruw, it's not clear what's on her birth ceritificate. Do a search for 'streissand' and you will find someone who looks very much like the Streisand who calls herself Barbra.

Bar-Bra... hmmm....

I suppose we have learned that Rats accept and act on unsigned memos from BS. I assume they do because the memo with the misspelled words was apparently sent not signed after being dictated. In most of the world, it is a common practice to read a document before signing and transmitting.

Babs apparently doesn't read well or didn't sign the memo, or perhaps she had nothing at all to do with the memo except lend her celebrity to a Rat scheme. That is to say, she isn't a Queen, she is but a Rat pawn.

Barbra feels that we can’t let this issue become a distraction

Barbra Streisand has an incredibly outstanding singing voice. In matters other than her singing, she is in the same category as the rest of us. That is to say that she has an opinion, an opinion that is no more or less valid than other opinions. I would seriously doubt she is stupid but I would also seriously doubt that she excels at anything other than singing.

However, I am curious at the way the article spells her first name. Is this a spelling error or is that the way she actually spells Barbara?

She must be spending at least 80% of her life working on her makeup.

I remember an old Letterman gag, a quiz question then directed at Joan Collins, which I now modify to apply to old Babs Brolin:

According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which requires the most daily maintenance?

(a) The Grand Coulee Dam
(b) The Golden Gate Bridge
(c) Barbra Streisand

Of course, the correct answer is c.

I thought you were trying to be ironical.

She changed her name from "Barbara" to "Barbra" many years ago.

Re her "opinions" - she is using her fame, which comes from performing, to attempt to influence politics. Her musical and theatrical experience do not give her military or diplomatic expertise; however, because of her fame, she is actually listened to.

This wouldn't be so bad if she had access to the same information and military intelligence that George Bush does. She does not - despite the fact that she is a well-known Clinton kneecap sucker. Even Billy Blythe doesn't have the info that W has; and that's as it should be. If we trust George Bush, then we must believe that he has the nation's best interests at heart. We can also use intuitive reasoning to eliminate Streisand's theory that the proposed war against Iraq is being fought to benefit the financial interests of wealthy oil magnates. Nonsense. Because of this, I dismiss Barbra's insults and accusations. Her "opinions" are more properly called "slander."

Putting on her make-up must really take a lot of time. She must buy powder by the barrel just for her nose.

Especially the logging industry, huh Babs? Talk about overplaying your hand! Yes the eeeviiil Republicans will cut down all those trees in Iraq.
