STREISAND: Wellstone Crash "NO ACCIDENT"!

Barbra Streisand, the New York Post's "Page Six" column asserted on Monday, "is privately saying that Senator Paul Wellstone's plane crash was 'no accident.'"

Meanwhile, Streisand's Web site urges her fans to vote, warning: "If the Republicans end up with control of the presidency, the Senate, the House of Representatives and the federal courts, there will not be any check on the power of the right wing. The result would be devastating for reproductive choice, the environment, civil liberties, Social Security and health care, as well as corporate accountability." In short, she contended, "Republicans are about protecting the corporations while Democrats are about protecting people."

An excerpt from the November 4 New York Post "Page Six" item, by Richard Johnson with Paula Froelich and Chris Wilson, which Brit Hume highlighted on his FNC show:

She's quoted bogus Shakespearean passages, misspelled the name of Rep. Dick Gephardt, and issued a position paper identifying Saddam Hussein as the "president of Iran." Now liberal activist Barbra Streisand is privately saying that Sen. Paul Wellstone's plane crash was "no accident."

"I was shocked but, knowing a bit about her, not surprised by her statement," a witness told The Post's Braden Keil. "She said there's more to this than meets the eye."...

Streisand expressed her paranoid conspiracy theory to an audience of interior designers bidding on the chance to decorate a planned addition to her Malibu estate.

The singer, who recently sold her triplex on Central Park West for half of what she originally asked three years ago, gave up looking for another apartment in New York and is sending her furniture out west, where she is building a separate building to house the antique items....

In a letter to the five candidates bidding for the job, she tells the prospects she won't have time to discuss anything until after the election.

"She then says they better be voting Democratic and goes into a long political missive about reproductive choice, the Supreme Court, the environment and the power of the right wing," adds the source.

Babs' Web site -- which hawks everything from soup mugs to golf balls -- consists largely of her political statements, with a big section defending her screw-ups.

Last year, her site urged fans to be more energy-efficient even while she criss-crossed the country on fossil fuel-sucking private jets, roamed the roads in gas-guzzling limos and SUVs, and vacationed on big power boats.

Streisand also urged her fellow Americans to set air conditioners at 78 degrees. One source told Keil that Babs kept the 16 rooms in her unoccupied Central Park West triplex as cold as a meat locker.

And don't forget the time Streisand urged everyone to conserve energy by hanging laundry outside on lines, rather than use electric clothes dryers. But when asked if Streisand herself was using a backyard clothesline, her spokesman said: "She never meant that it necessarily applied to her."

There are more than a few FReepers who share the suspicion about the accident.

Agreed. I think the Democrats killed him because they could get a substitute elected based on Wellstone's memory, and could benefit nationally because it would serve as a wake-up call to Democrats that the balance in the Senate is at risk.

Babs is an idiot. The only people that give her rantings the slightest bit of serious attention are other idiots.

I'm sure she's checking to make sure that they are in the local interior decorating union.

Not I.. To be an
"armchair conspiracy theory oriented" individual(like Ms. Streisand) isn't always the most healthy. I check in on a "Freeper from the Past's website periodically and anyone with any knowledge thru FACTS on a subject"..may often see a Current misfiring between the Positive + and the Negative -. ~Just my opinion~

Why is BS a nut just for thinking Wellstone's crash was no accident? I too strongly suspect it was no accident. Of course, I suspect responsibility in a different quarter, but to suspect it was no accident seems thoroughly reasonable to me.

Has anybody explained why the FBI is engaged in the investigation of the crash? Unless there's reason to suspect foul play, isn't that NTSB's job?

Wellstone was out in Front further than Mondale could ever be! You dont think if they had time to choose a "Replacement" it would have come down to Mondale?

I suspect responsibility in a different quarter.. Are you suggesting those in the Republican Party are murderers?

Barbra is an accident that her mother undoubtly wishes never happened.

She got her looks because the doctor repeatedly kept slapping the wrong end when she was born. When they finally realized it, the damage was done. Probably caused some brain damage as well.
